— Taking the temperature of Chicago’s Pride Parade in era of Trump – James Steinbauer  (DIERSEN: From what I see, if you do not a) promote LGBTQ activity and b) badmouth Trump, you are or will be viciously marginalized a) by those who promote LGBTQ activity and b) by those who are anti-Trump..)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-pride-parade-preview-20170618-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Los Angeles, the city’s decades-old pride parade was replaced with a “resist march,” and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., led chants to impeach the president. “There are so many issues on the front burner right now, and I think you’ll see that reflected,” said Richard Pfeiffer, Chicago’s Pride Parade coordinator. “Since the change in Washington in November, LGBT people and others have been marginalized verbally and in other ways. There’s anger over that.” Pfeiffer said more than 250,000 people are expected along the parade route, and nearly 1 million could move in and out of the area surrounding the parade throughout the day.)

June 17 Morning Edtion

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— In 2018, which Republican candidates are going to run for federal, state, and county offices in DuPage County?  Who does Rauner want to run for Attorney General, Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Treasurer?  I urge all of them to have an entry in Wheaton’s 2017 Independence Day Parade. SEE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2017-independence-day-celebration-parade-entry-tickets-31882733113  So far, Bob Berlin for State’s Attorney, Peter Breen for State Representative, Grant Eckhoff for County Board, Jeanne Ives for State Representative, James Mendrick for County Sheriff, Peter Roskam for Congress, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee have entries. This year, for the 12th year in a row, I have sought donations from Republicans so that “DuPage Republicans” can again be one of the two $2,500 “Star” sponsors and again sponsor the Wheaton high school bands and the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums parade entries and again have a booth at the July 3 fireworks.  Outstandingly, again this year Tim Whelan will coordinate Republican use of the booth at the fireworks. This year again, I will hand deliver flyers to the residences and businesses on the parade route that will list the Republican entries in the parade and the Republicans who helped sponsor entries. Outstandingly, the flyers will be printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics. This year, outstandingly, Roger Claar is a $500 contributor, Chris Nybo is a $250 contributor, Phil Suess is a $150 contributor, and Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Mike Connelly, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Paula McGowen, Deanne Mazzochi, James Mendrick, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, and Tim Whelan are $100 contributors. Please plan on watching the 22-minute fireworks Monday evening July 3 at Graf Park, and stopping the DuPage County Republicans booth.  Please plan on watching the parade on Tuesday morning July 4 or walking in the parade with one of the Republican entries. If you want to walk with one of the Republican entries, I suggest being at the staging area on north Main Street at 9:00 AM.  SEE: https://wheatonparkdistrict.com/events/july4/ – Dave Diersen

Soon, if not already, anti-Trump employers will crow a) that they hire, retain, and promote dreamers and b) that they refuse to hire, retain, or promote those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Trump’s new NY HUD director planned Eric Trump’s wedding, has no housing experience – JAKE SHERMAN, ANNA PALMER, and DANIEL LIPPMAN  (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS.  After working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173, I transferred to GAO. During the first 6 years and the last 9 years of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, my Democrat superiors refused to assign me to audits of IRS, that is, they wasted my knowledge of IRS. If I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, they would not have done that.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: “President Trump chooses inexperienced woman who planned his son Eric’s wedding to run N.Y. federal housing programs,” by Greg Smith: “She’s arranged tournaments at Trump golf courses, served as the liaison to the Trump family during his presidential campaign, and even arranged Eric Trump’s wedding. Now President Trump has appointed longtime loyalist Lynne Patton — who has zero housing experience and claims a law degree the school says she never earned — to run the office that oversees federal housing programs in New York.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— When Leaders Are Hired for Talent but Fired for Not Fitting In – Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and Clarke Murphy  (DIERSEN: How could you have “fit in” better where you worked?  I would have fit in better if I a) had become a Democrat, b) had painted myself as being a yes-man, c) had helped my superiors get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, d) had not complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid, and e) had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my employer with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://hbr.org/2017/06/when-leaders-are-hired-for-talent-but-fired-for-not-fitting-in
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Understand their own organizational culture: Knowing a leader’s motives and values is pointless unless organizations are also able to decode their own culture. Sadly, most organizations underestimate the importance of accurately profiling their culture so they end up relying on intuitive and unrealistic ideas that say more about what they would like to be than what they actually are. This is why a large number of companies today describe themselves as “entrepreneurial,” “innovative,” “results-oriented,” or “diverse,” even when their own employees perceive a very different type of culture. Well-designed climate surveys, which crowdsource people’s views and experiences of the organizational culture, are a much better indicator of a company’s true values than the aspirational competencies curated by senior executives.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— 100 House Democrats voice opposition to Trump’s proposed federal retirement cuts – Nicole Ogrysko  (DIERSEN: If I sought a government job or a political job, my “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would viciously demonize me, viciously denigrate me, and viciously condemn me as someone who was in line for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension since 1966 when I was 18 and who has been getting a CSRS pension since 1997 when I was 49.)
https://federalnewsradio.com/congress/2017/06/100-house-democrats-voice-opposition-to-trumps-proposed-federal-retirement-cuts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “These are highly skilled and dedicated public servants,” members of Congress wrote. “Taking their pensions away and gutting their pay would have the effect of pushing those skilled people out of the civil service and impairing the recruitment of new talent.” . . . But these proposals are particularly offensive, lawmakers said, because they would impact current and future retirees, not just prospective federal employees. “This breaks a promise to current federal employees and retirees,” they wrote. “We should not alter policies that families have planned their lives around, particularly when it affects current retirees with limited ability to make up for unforeseen reductions in expected income.” Several federal employee unions and organizations have adamantly voiced their own concerns over the president’s retirement proposals. “In exchange for years of hard work over long careers, our government made a commitment to middle-class federal and postal workers in the form of modest federal pensions in retirement,” the coalition said. “Those pensions are not gifts; they were earned. Diminishing their value in any way for current employees and retirees fails to honor the commitments made to our public servants.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner ‘special guest’ at $10,000 Illinois Republican Party fundraiser – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) stress that I give little or no money to the Republican National Committee, Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee or Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, or America and b) hint/imply/argue/shout that “money is all that matters.”  In my defense, I give the aforesaid a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning and each and every evening free of charge and without any advertising. Since 2004, those emails have included links to almost 272,600 articles of interest to Illinois Republicans and information on many upcoming events.  GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year.  I spend about an hour putting the emails together and sending them out for every six articles in the emails, that is, since 2004, I have spent about 45,400 hours doing that, that is, at $100/hour, I have made in-kind donations to the aforesaid worth about $4,543,100.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-illinois-republican-party-fundraiser-20170613-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party is holding a Monday night fundraiser featuring all seven members of the state’s GOP delegation to the U.S. House plus what organizers are calling a “special guest” in Gov. Bruce Rauner. The event is called “Cocktails with the Congressmen” and tickets start at $100 per person, with $10,000 required to play “host” at the Rosemont outpost of Gene & Georgetti. Those paying $2,500 or more per person will gain access to a special hourlong reception prior to the general reception cattle call. Along with Rauner, scheduled to attend are Republican U.S. Reps. Peter Roskam of Wheaton, Randy Hultgren of Plano, Adam Kinzinger of Channahon, Rodney Davis of Taylorville, John Shimkus of Collinsville, Darin LaHood of Peoria and Mike Bost of Murphysboro. Rauner has almost singlehandedly revived the Illinois Republican Party as a political force, largely through his own wallet. Rauner and his campaign fund have given the state GOP at least 72 percent of the $42.5 million it has raised since he took office as governor.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/la-fg-venezuela-democracy-2017-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attacks on news media  In 2007, Chavez refused to renew the broadcasting license of RCTV, the most widely followed anti-government station, forcing it to shut down and sparking nationwide protests. Since then, an estimated 300 independent small-town radio stations have either been shut down or forced to change to government-friendly formats, according to Marcelino Bisbal, a professor at Andres Bello Catholic University. Globovision, the last television station to broadcast anti-government editorials, was forced to sell in 2013 after owners complained of mounting government fines and political harassment. The new owners are businessmen with ties to Maduro. CNN, El Tiempo TV, NTN24 and other Spanish language cable channels that have criticized the government have been banned from broadcasting in Venezuela. Maduro halted TV broadcasts of National Assembly sessions last year after the opposition won majority control. In 2014, the largest daily newspaper, El Universal, was forced to sell to a government-friendly owner group.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-chicago-ethics-board-lobbying-violations-met-0614-20170613-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two individuals who contacted Mayor Rahm Emanuel through his personal email broke the city’s lobbying laws, the Chicago Board of Ethics determined Tuesday. The panel voted without dissent to find the two people violated the law by seeking to influence City Hall action without registering as a lobbyist. Ethics board President William F. Conlon said the individuals would be identified on a city website, but not until later this week after they are notified of the ruling.)

 

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Former Mariano’s employee sues over fingerprint data – NONA TEPPER  (DIERSEN: To deter/detect potential conflicts of interest, federal employees are required to give their superiors lots of information about their financial assets and debts.  Federal employees should expect that their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who want to waste your career and who want to get rid of you will get your financial information and will use that information against you.  My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates talked and acted like they knew exactly what was on my and my wife’s income tax returns, what our incomes were, what are financial and other assets were, what our debts were, that we had no dependents, etc. They talked and acted like they viewed us as being undeservedly selfish rich DINKs (dual income, no kids).  They painted me as being someone who had way too much money, and therefore, a) someone who did not need nor should get pay increases or promotions and b) someone who should take early retirement as soon as it is offered.  They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a poor person in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it so that a poor person could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a poor person in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted poor people in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a poor person in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a poor person in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a poor person could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170614/NEWS07/170619958
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The plaintiff, Thomas Doporcyk, alleges that “Mariano’s disregards their employees’ statutorily protected privacy rights and unlawfully collects, stores and uses their biometric data,” according to a complaint filed June 9 in Cook County Circuit Court. Mariano’s required Doporcyk to check in and out of work by scanning his fingerprints, according to the suit. Mariano’s requires all Illinois employees, salaried and hourly, to clock in through a fingerprint scanner.)
— Uber’s culture led one Chicago tech firm to boycott it on moral grounds – Bloomberg  (DIERSEN: What is/was the culture where you work/worked?  Sadly, tragically, and unacceptably, despite civil service protections, in most, if not in virtually all government entities, the culture is patronage. Those who move up the ladder the fastest are those who are not only a member of their superiors’ political party, but someone who panders to their superiors, who serves as an operative or as a dupe for their superiors, and who helps their superiors get rid of employees who are members of other political parties.)

GOLD  (DIERSEN: What would your superiors say that they did to fight income inequality?  My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.  My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.  My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DuPage committee kills effort to revoke video gaming ban – Gary Gibula  (DIERSEN: OUTSTANDING! At the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday morning, June 13, 2017, no motion was made to recommend lifting the county’s ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas. During the public comment period, those who spoke in favor of keeping the ban included Bill Bryan, Kathy Gilroy, Heidi Holan, Luke Holan, and me. During county employee Chad Shaffer’s presentation concerning video gambling, county board members asked many questions and expressed their views concerning the issue. Many thanks to those county board members who would have voted against recommending lifting the ban if a motion had been made. Attendees at the meeting included Paula McGowen and John Zaruba.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-committee-rejects-gaming-st-0614-20170613-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Advocates of keeping the video gaming ban contend the negative effects of gambling outweigh any benefits. “We should be thinking of marriages and families broken up by gambling, how many jobs have been lost,” Bill Bryan, of Naperville, said. “Those factors should be weighed into the equation.” Heidi Holan, of Glen Ellyn, compared gambling to a “get rich quick” scheme. “How many of you warn your children about that?” she asked. “Is that the type of moral value you want?” “It has a trickle-down effect to family members,” said Luke Cohen, of Glen Ellyn. “I’m only 18, so I can’t gamble and I can’t drink, but I still understand the effect of gambling. This ban needs to stay in place.” . . . Cronin commented on the issue following Tuesday’s County Board meeting. “We owed it to the community and the business owners who are experiencing some adversity to come on in and make their case,” Cronin said. “I have some empathy for those folks, but I think there’s a larger issue here about who we are as a county. The committee spoke, there was due process and the people had their day.”  The issue of repealing the video gaming ban still could be revisited in the future if a committee member chooses to bring it up again, officials said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But after listening to people on both sides of the debate, board members ended their finance committee meeting without making a recommendation to the full county board. In fact, none of the 18 board members attending the meeting supported a motion to consider repealing the ordinance. “So there’s no interest in even discussing the issue,” said county board member Paul Fichtner, who serves as chairman of the board’s finance committee. “The issue is dead and nobody, obviously, is in favor of it.” . . . A few board members said there were questions that weren’t answered during Tuesday’s review, but no one expressed a desire to bring the issue back in two weeks. “It couldn’t even get a motion,” board member Tim Elliott said. “So I think that in fairness to board members that have questions, (staff) can get back, write a memo and do whatever. “But as far as I’m concerned, this is dead,” he said.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that to paint me as though I have always been undeservedly filthy rich. I paid for my expenses at University Plaza and Lincolnshire West with money that I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 and working on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170610/ISSUE01/170609856/student-housing-developer-bets-on-ultra-high-end-of-college-market
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Marc Lifshin doesn’t mince words when asked about his living situation as an undergrad at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He paid about $175 a month in rent to live in a decrepit six-bedroom house with eight friends. “I lived in an absolute shithole,” says Lifshin, an engineering student who graduated in 2001. “I think it was torn down a couple years after I graduated.” Today, Lifshin, 39, operates at the other end of the student housing market, renting out high-end buildings to college students willing to pay up for indulgent amenities. While Lifshin the college student was content just to have a big backyard and front porch, his company, Core Spaces, develops buildings with golf simulators, spas with plunge pools and tanning beds, and in-room hot tubs. A Core Spaces project in Madison, Wis., includes a band room and ice rink in the winter.)

The median income for a middle-class household in Italy is $35,608. It’s $44,000 in France and $46,000 in Denmark.But in the United States it’s $60,084.)

June 12 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Gambling is a vice.  Government should not promote any kind of vice.  In its Tuesday, June 13, 2017, morning edition tomorrow, GOPUSA ILLINOIS will report on how each of the 18 DuPage County Board Members voted, and how Chairman Dan Cronin voted if necessary to break a tie, to keep or lift DuPage County’s ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas.  They will vote at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM.  Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at this meeting in favor of keeping the ban. Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please email DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district (SEE BELOW), to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote by the full Board is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. Will 9 vote to keep the ban and 9 vote to left the ban so that Cronin can break the tie?  In 2009, I played a major role in getting the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to unanimously pass a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution. – Dave Diersen

NEW YORK TIMES
— Mr. Trump Goes After the Inspector Generals – Editorial  (DIERSEN: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, I has lots of interactions with employees of Inspector General offices in the Chicago area.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/opinion/mr-trump-goes-after-the-inspectors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just before the inauguration, Michael Horowitz, chairman of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, was at a hockey game when he began getting calls from other inspectors general in federal agencies. The inspectors — independent officials who investigate waste, misconduct, mismanagement and criminal activity — were furious. Trump aides had let them know they might be replaced; for the first time ever, a president might fire them en masse. The administration later backed down. But it has continued to undermine the inspectors’ role by failing to hire for open positions and planning to slash the offices’ budgets, one of the many ways the White House has found to diminish the oversight functions of the federal government. Every major federal agency and program has an inspector general, a nonpartisan, independent official whose staff investigates cases of wasteful spending, criminal activity, employee misconduct and plain bad management. These are watchdogs with real teeth. Mr. Horowitz, who is also the inspector general at the Department of Justice, recently told Congress that in fiscal 2015 alone, the offices identified $26 billion in potential savings and recovered an additional $10 billion through criminal and civil cases. That’s a return of $14 for every dollar in the offices’ budgets. The list of good works is long and impressive.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/10/opinion/sunday/vietnam-war-public-service-message-from-the-class-of-67.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: My generation was shaped to a considerable degree by Vietnam and, at least for the men, by the draft. Whether and how to elude military service was a constant during our time in college and beyond, and for many of us the wrenching debates and decisions of the tumultuous 1960s affected the rest of our lives. Some ended up in Vietnam, some opted for the Peace Corps or other national service, some became conscientious objectors, but all were touched by the draft. So it is not surprising that at our college reunions — including the 50th of my class of ’67 at Harvard last month — both the men and the women spent a lot of time going over what Vietnam and the choices we made in those now-distant years meant for us. Twenty-five years earlier, a session on Vietnam had become intensely emotional and confessional as classmates recalled their war or their antiwar struggles; this time, we were more retrospective, reflective and ruminative. What was surprising was that many who rose to speak in the two-and-a-half hour session declared it was a shame that the draft, and more broadly the notion of a couple of years of national service before plunging into careers and families, had been abandoned. How could guys who expended so much passion and energy eluding the draft regret its demise?)
