POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Donald Trump’s Chicago fundraiser and his expected speech at the International Association of Chiefs of Police at McCormick Place will draw thousands of protesters — and maybe some MAGA supporters — to downtown Chicago on Monday. Couple that with thousands more striking teachers just trained in civil disobedience, and we’ve got the makings of a massive political demonstration. It might be a crowd size that even Trump wouldn’t have to exaggerate. Dozens of political organizations and interest groups are urging their supporters to gather at 11:30 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Wacker and Wabash streets, which looks at Trump Tower from across the Chicago river. The protesters are expected to include immigration groups, gun control activists and women’s organizations. “We will be out in full force to protest Trump’s gleeful bashing of our city, his ridiculing of the very real violence promoted by his pro-gun policies, and his attempts to thwart us and all Sanctuary Cities as we protect our immigrant neighbors,” Marj Halperin of Indivisible Chicago told Playbook. Striking teachers are also expected to be part of the protest, hundreds of whom participated Thursday in civil disobedience training. In an email encouraging teachers to take part, CTU said the training was for members “who are ready to step it up a notch… We will learn from the tactics that ended Jim Crow and the Vietnam War.” During the training, they were “coached on blocking traffic and shutting down building lobbies,” according to the Sun-Times. No surprise that they will join Trump protesters. “It’s a target-rich opportunity,” a CTU organizer told Playbook. Attendees at Trump’s noon fundraiser may hear the chanting or see the protest signs but they otherwise won’t notice the blockade way across the river. Trump’s scheduled speech to the police chiefs convention is a few miles south of his hotel. His presidential entourage will avoid protesters by taking a two-and-a-half-mile tunneled access route that’s only used by the mayor, the Cook County Board president, and certain tour buses with security clearance. Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel liked to call it the Bat Cave. At the police chiefs convention at McCormick Place, Trump will hold court over a friendly crowd. Last year, at the group’s gathering in Orlando, he criticized Chicago’s handling of crime. It’s no wonder Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said he’ll boycott Monday’s speech. He might consider wandering over to the Illinois Institute of Technology campus to watch crews preparing for the Obama Foundation Summit that starts Tuesday. Oh yeah, the Obamas are expected to be in town Monday, too. – Shia Kapos

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Trump to Tell Federal Agencies to Cut New York Times, Washington Post Subscriptions White House plans to direct government staffers to not renew orders with the newspapers, whose coverage he has disparaged as ‘fake’ – Andrew Restuccia (DIERSEN: I should survey those Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who do not read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump is an avid consumer of the news, and he regularly reads the Times and the Post, according to aides who privately acknowledged that they expect him to continue doing so despite the directive. “I have no doubt the hard-working reporters of the New York Times and Washington Post will continue to do quality journalism regardless of whether the president acknowledges he reads them,” said Jonathan Karl, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association and chief White House correspondent for ABC News. “Pretending to ignore the work of a free press won’t make the news go away or stop reporters from informing the public and holding those in power accountable,” Mr. Karl added.)

SEE GAO DECISION: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866 During the 1970s, IRS purposely kept its definition of “commuting area” vague so that it could use it to punish or to reward its employees. When my IRS Democrat superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, they used a narrow definition of “commuting area” to disallow my partial day per diem claims. They hinted/implied/argued that my partial day per diem claims were fraudulent. Needless-to-say, that ended my IRS career.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Some Florida Republicans are nudging state Sen. Jim Oberweis to run for the congressional seat in the Sunshine state now held by Rep. Francis Rooney, who announced his retirement over the weekend. Oberweis has a home in Florida, so while far-fetched, the idea isn’t totally impossible. “There’s a push from Republicans in that district. All he’d have to do is move down there and he’d win,” Oberweis’ spokesman Travis Akin said. But Oberweis is focused on the Republican nomination for Illinois’ 14th Congressional District, the seat now held by Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood. “Jim’s in good shape to win the primary,” said Akin, adding Oberweis sees Underwood as “a formidable candidate with a substantial war chest.” That primary may not be a piece of cake either. Oberweis faces state Sen. Sue Rezin, futures trader Ted Gradel, human resources manager Daniel Malouf, former Kendall County GOP Chairman James Marter and newcomer Catalina Lauf. In an interesting Florida twist, Oberweis will be at Maggiano’s in Oak Brook on Friday for a fundraiser with headliner Marco Rubio, the U.S. senator and former presidential candidate from FLORIDA. . .Vice President Mike Pence was in Waukegan on Wednesday, visiting the Uline packaging materials company founded by GOP donors Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein. Pence spoke at the event about the proposed U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement — aka NAFTA 2.0. The VP was supposed to have visited Michigan’s Upper Peninsula earlier in the day, but instead flew to Washington to stand by President Donald Trump for his statement on Syria where he lifted sanctions the U.S. imposed on Turkey just last week. Spotted at the Waukegan gathering: GOP Senate candidate Mark Curran and state Sen. Jim Oberweis (25th). – Shia Kapos

Barnes, Sharon LaFraniere and Edward Wong (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government painted me as being a member of a Republican deep state. They blamed me for the problems that they had recruiting and retaining qualified young Democrat minorities and qualified young Democrat women. They blamed me for their problems in recruiting and retaining those who were non-Protestant, non-German American, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.

SCALEUP USA
— Federal Career Accelerator College Students – Work with the Federal Government! Did you know that the US federal government is the largest employer in the US and funds the employment of over 9 million Americans? Yet, according to a recent federal survey, employees younger than 30 represent just 6 percent of the federal workforce! (DIERSEN: Potential federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised that the federal government will waste their careers and get rid of them if they do not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40 and that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Potential federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should consider how the federal government wasted Dave Diersen’s career and a) wasted his job-related bachelor’s degree that he earned when he was 21 in 1970 and the job-related master’s degrees that he earned when he was 27, 31, and 48, b) wasted his job-related professional certifications that he earned when he was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, c) wasted his job-related professional license that he earned when he was 32, and d) wasted his knowledge of IRS that he gained working for IRS almost 9 years. Potential federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should consider how the federal government forced Diersen to take early retirement in 1997 when he was 49 years old.)

SEE: https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/21/joe-biden-gets-rare-permission-to-drive-his-67-corvette-proceeds-to-burns-rubber.html My father died suddenly in 1969 2 years before I bought my Corvette in 1971. I paid for my Corvette with an insurance settlement that I got for my stolen 1969 Dodge Charger SE and with money that I a) earned working full-time for IRS starting in 1971, b) working full-time for Firestone Stores 1970-1971, and c) working part-time for Firestone Stores 1971-1972. The money to pay for the Charger and for previous cars came from what I earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers 1962-1964; washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; and working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.)

There’s a better way. – DANIEL DISALVO (DIERSEN: To get a full Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, federal employees have to be 55 and have at least 30 years of federal service. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” and suffer a major reduction of my pension.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On average, to earn a full pension, a teacher must remain in the same state or district for 25 years — a condition that less than half of teachers nationally will meet. In Illinois, where the vesting period for the pension system is 10 years of employment, only half of new teachers will ever vest in the system. And only 1 out of 5 teachers in Illinois will ever break even from their pension plan. Everyone else either quits teaching or changes school districts before earning a full pension, often walking away with less than they contributed to the system.)

https://www.sj-r.com/news/20191022/safety-nonprofit-urges-employers-to-ban-marijuana-use-for-those-in-sensitive-jobs
(DIERSEN: The group said research has shown that cannabis can affect psychomotor skills and cognitive ability. Safety sensitive positions might include workers in health care, transportation, law enforcement or those who work with certain chemicals, said Jane Terry, vice president of government affairs for the council. Currently, there is no physical test for impairment due to marijuana, making any amount of use by workers in those jobs inadvisable, Terry said. “Do you want those types of individuals to be in a position where maybe you can’t tell if they’re impaired or not?” Terry asked. “We hope this position will give some guidance to employers and really give some idea of how to think about this to policymakers as well.”)

OAK PARK
— Oak Park trustee feels heat over radio spot Community members slam Moroney at Monday’s village board meeting – Stacey Sheridan (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. They blacklist me and blacklist all individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that do not blacklist me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents and the many millions of individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that they blacklist.)
https://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/10-22-2019/Oak-Park-trustee-feels-heat-over-radio-spot/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oak Park trustee Dan Moroney faced community ire over his recent appearance on “Morning Answer with Dan Proft & Amy Jacobson,” a right-wing radio show (WIND-AM) where he discussed fellow Trustee Susan Buchanan’s recent board meeting rant, which caused Buchanan to become a target of vitriolic internet harassment. In front of a packed board room, 18 people addressed the board — Moroney in particular — in non-agenda public comments at the Oct. 21 meeting. Only one comment was made in his defense. Many called on Moroney to resign, while others demanded he apologize for appearing on the show and further stoking the national attention Buchanan’s outburst generated.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191021/dupage-county-poised-to-vote-on-recreational-pot-sales-in-unincorporated-areas
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Larsen said he would be “shocked” if the board rejects the 3% tax on sales in municipalities. “I would expect everyone to support that,” he said. “We might as well get the revenue from it if we’re going to be dealing with the consequences of it.” Larsen said DuPage is expected to have increased law enforcement costs and other expenses as a result of the state legalizing recreational marijuana. “This is the only place we can get revenue to help deal with those costs,” he said. Last month, State’s Attorney Robert Berlin talked about issues other states faced after legalizing marijuana. He pointed to statistics showing Colorado experienced increases in property crime and violent crime. There also was an increase in the number of traffic fatalities with drivers testing positive for marijuana. County health department officials, meanwhile, said the availability of recreational marijuana is expected to increase use among adults and youths and hurt the health of residents. As a result, they are anticipating increased demand for public health services in DuPage.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— Why Your Company Needs to Implement Pay Equity Audits Now – Robert Sheen (DIERSEN: If a pay equity audit of the federal government was done, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS, including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing, and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS, the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

(DIERSEN: Constructively, federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran are deemed to be “poor performers” if they do not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Terminating Employees Deemed “Poor Performers” First off, there is a smaller timeframe in which to improve poor performance. The executive order to streamline removal procedures for federal employees decreases the amount of time that employees are subject to Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs)—that provide employees a chance to improve their job performance following a poor evaluation or reprimand—to 30 days, government-wide. That window previously lasted between 60 and 120 days and was up to agency discretion as to the length of the PIP and/or extensions of the PIP. Federal employees should be aware of additional provisions in the executive order, which direct that:)

I would focus on those who a) acted as operatives or as dupes for Democrat politicians and b) disapproved of my demographics – Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born on 1948), non-poor, gun owner, draft avoider, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc. I would focus who had a) less education and/or fewer professional certifications than I had and/or b) no professional licenses.)

— ‘Respect, not silence’ is answer to political discourse – DENISE CROSBY (DIERSEN: What void do you fill? I fill the tremendous communications void created by, continued by, and aggravated by the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Republican county party organizations in Illinois including the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Republican township/ward party organizations in Illinois including the Milton Township Republican Central Committee. The IRP should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on statewide government and political issues. Republican county party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on countywide government and political issues. Republican township/ward party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on township/ward government and political issues. However, I acknowledge that paying people to do the aforesaid would cost a tremendous amount of money. To get someone who is qualified to do what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, they would have to be paid at least $500,000 a year.)

DAILY HERALD
— Why Intel is going to share gender, racial pay data most companies conceal – Bloomberg (DIERSEN: If the federal government shared such pay data, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS, including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing, and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS, the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I pulled up a map for a friend of mine to illustrate how many conservatives were in his neighborhood; he had no idea,” Knoedler said. “He then told me that if only he’d known he was not alone on his street, he would have felt emboldened to put a candidate’s yard sign in front of his house.” Fuller said, “Conservatives are naturally less vocal about our political views, but having a community where we can encourage each other and organize to get involved in our communities will help members feel less alone.” Colorado is a launching group, but Fuller and Knoedler hope to expand to a national site.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/trump-campaign-to-sue-cnn-over-pro-impeachment-bias-demands-substantial-payment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of “excellence in journalism.” Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker’s demand for “impeachment above all else,” Harder wrote that they “are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years.” He added, “Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current situation.” Harder represents both Trump and the campaign. The letter was provided exclusively to Secrets and is shown in full below.)

— Trump Campaign’s Letter Declaring Legal Action Against CNN For Anti-Trump Bias – James Barrett (DIERSEN: Should I sue those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that CLAIM TO BE religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but that work against individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that ARE religious, conservative, and/or Republican?)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-it-trump-campaigns-letter-declaring-legal-action-against-cnn-for-anti-trump-bias
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of “excellence in journalism.” Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker’s demand for “impeachment above all else,” Harder wrote that they “are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years.” He added, “Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current situation.” Harder represents both Trump and the campaign. The letter was provided exclusively to Secrets and is shown in full below.)

https://www.hotcars.com/ford-car-model-drive-based-mbti/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2019 FORD ESCAPE For those who gravitate towards the limelight and love to own adorable white-bearded cats as pets, they are likely ESFPs. The ESFPs are typical extroverts who have an insatiable deep desire to please everyone and be the most popular person at any gathering. They are quick at making decisions and typically use their senses to take the information in and process it. If you are an ESFP, you can’t take chances by buying just any car. You need one that reflects your personality and when you are sitting in it, the jealous glances stalk your way into the sunset. You need the gorgeous 2019 Ford Escape which delivers an agile performance, incredible handling, and extremely potent throttle. . .2019 FORD MUSTANG The ESTPs are the Energy Bombs. These spirited balls love thrills and the car fanatics of this category have likely been to each and every famous annual car show known to mankind. If you are an ESTP, you most likely are an extrovert, use your senses and thinking capabilities for making decisions and getting hold of information, and perceive things in your own unique way. The best Ford model for an ESTP is the 2019 Ford Mustang, which comes packed with a gas engine so powerful, it earned the nickname of “Godzilla.” The car itself harkens back to 1968’s Bullitt, so this is definitely a vehicle intended for those who appreciate a touch of speed.)

My critics/opponents in Milton Township have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the MTRCC resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
