Henry Hyde was my Congressman 1978-2007. GAO works for Congress. I can always ask myself what more my Democrat GAO superiors would have done to me if I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, had not promoted me beyond GS-13, had gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and had forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191216/how-suburban-representatives-voted-on-the-clinton-impeachment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde of Wood Dale chaired the House Judiciary Committee and served as chief prosecutor during Clinton’s trial in the Senate. In an October 1998 interview with the Daily Herald, Hyde, who represented the 6th District, said it was “pretty clear” Clinton perjured himself when he denied a sexual relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. “There isn’t much doubt that he did willfully misstate the facts under oath,” said Hyde, who retired in 2007 and died later that year.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/12/16/down-and-dirty-challenges-mccaffrey-exits-city-hall-pushback-on-caprara-487908
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Illinois, the drama is focused on challenging petitions submitted by candidates trying to get on the 2020 primary ballot. It is a brutal process. Candidates with the financial means can challenge petitions of their competitors — requiring them to spend precious time and money defending hundreds of signatures. A great deal of financial and intellectual capital is spent during this behind-the-scenes action, which is frustrating for candidates who would prefer to put their energies into campaigning instead. The process can sometimes make or break a campaign, as Dorothy Brown can attest.)

— How to Cope With Your Professor’s Left-Wing Bias – Hans Bader 
https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/hans-bader/how-cope-your-professors-left-wing-bias
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To get the best possible grade, students may need to pander to their professors’ left-wing ideology. Professors are much more likely to be progressives than they are to be moderate or conservative. Law professors are no exception. Progressive professors view progressive views as a sign of intelligence, and conservatism as a sign of stupidity. For example, Prof. Robert Brandon, head of Duke University’s philosophy department, argued that conservatives are rare in academia because they are stupid. So to get a good grade, moderate or conservative law students should pretend to be progressives when taking their final exam. That will make them seem more intelligent to their left-wing professors. They should echo their professor’s left-wing ideology in answering exam questions — such as questions about what a vague provision of the Constitution means, or about who should win a lawsuit where both sides have a plausible legal argument. Parroting my professors’ left-wing ideology worked for me at Harvard Law School.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/presidential-election-2020-race-and-gender-in-presidential-race-cbs-news-poll/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But among those who think it will matter to others, many Democrats think it will be harder to beat Mr. Trump if the nominee is female, gay, or a racial minority. More than half of Super Tuesday Democrats think it would be easier to win if the nominee happens to be white, while just 3% think that would make beating President Trump harder. Fifty percent feel it would be harder to defeat Donald Trump if their nominee is black, compared to 10% who think it will be easier. Black Democrats, in particular, feel that nominating a black candidate would make it harder to beat Mr. Trump. Most black Democrats in these states think it would be harder to beat him if the party nominates a black candidate. They are more likely to feel this way (60% of them do) than white Democrats are (46%). Black Democrats are also generally more confident than white Democrats that their party will ultimately nominate someone who can beat Mr. Trump in 2020. On the matter of gender, a mere 5% say the Democrats would have a harder time beating Trump if their party’s nominee is a man. Forty-nine percent think it would be harder if the nominee is a woman, while just 14% say it would be easier if Democrats nominate a woman. Six in 10 black Biden supporters say they strongly back him, compared to 4 in 10 of his white supporters who state that level of support.)

— MARCH 5, 2019 FLASHBACK: How can www.gopillinois.com get a better NewsGuard rating? Please consider NewsGuard’s rating criteria at https://www.newsguardtech.com/ratings/rating-process-criteria/ or below and email me at diersen@aol.com or phone me at 630-653-0462 with your suggestions. – Dave Diersen
https://gopillinois.com/uncategorized/march-5-morning-edition-3/?highlight=newsguard
(FROM THE POSTING: RATING CRITERIA Here are the nine criteria that NewsGuard uses to assess websites. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points out of 100, as indicated below. A site with a score of 60 points or higher receives a green rating. A site with a score lower than 60 points receives a red rating. In every case, the NewsGuard Nutrition Labels that are provided for each site (by clicking on the rating) spell out the site’s adherence to each of the nine criteria that yielded that source’s particular rating. The criteria below are listed in order of their importance in determining a red rating. For example, failure to adhere to the first criteria—publishing false content—is more influential in determining a red rating than failure to reveal information about content creators.

Credibility
— Doesn’t repeatedly publish false content: In the last three years the site has not produced multiple stories that have been found—either by journalists at NewsGuard or elsewhere—to be clearly false, and which have not been quickly and prominently corrected. (22 Points. A label with a score lower than 60 points gets a red rating.)
— Gathers and presents information responsibly: Content on the site is created by reporters, writers, videographers, researchers, or other information providers who generally seek to be accurate and fair in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information, even if they approach their work from a strong point of view. They do this by referencing multiple sources, preferably those that present direct, first-hand information on a subject or event. (18 Points)
— Regularly corrects or clarifies errors: The site makes clear how to contact those in charge and has effective practices for publishing clarifications and corrections. (12.5 Points)
— Handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly: Content providers who convey the impression that they report news or a mix of news and opinion distinguish opinion from news reporting, and when reporting news, they do not regularly or egregiously misstate, distort, or cherry pick facts, or egregiously cherry pick stories, to advance opinions. Content providers whose clearly expressed purpose is to advance a particular point of view do not regularly and egregiously misstate or distort facts to make their case. (12.5 Points)
— Avoids deceptive headlines: The site generally does not publish headlines that include false information, significantly sensationalize, or otherwise do not reflect what is actually in the story. (10 Points)

Transparency
— Website discloses ownership and financing: The site discloses its ownership and/or financing, as well as any notable ideological or political positions held by those with a significant financial interest in the site, in a user-friendly manner. (7.5 Points)
— Clearly labels advertising: The site makes clear which content is paid for and which is not. (7.5 Points)
— Reveals who’s in charge: Information about those in charge of the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points)
— The site provides the names of content creators, along with either contact information or biographical information: Information about those producing the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points))

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The candidate filing period has come and gone, and here are the dispiriting results for the 118 seats up for election in the Illinois House and the 20 seats up for the Illinois Senate. Of the 118 House districts, 54 feature just one candidate running. Of the 20 Senate seats, 12 contests will provide voters only one choice. What happened to the concept of competitive elections, the engine that makes the democratic process run? In Illinois, they appear to be an afterthought, at least as far as the state legislature goes. But appearances can be deceiving, and what in this case could be perceived as indifference or apathy actually is the product of careful design.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— To this impeachment ‘connoisseur,’ Trump’s case looks familiar – DOYLE MCMANUS (DIERSEN: Henry Hyde was my Congressman 1978-2007. GAO works for Congress. I can always ask myself what more my Democrat GAO superiors would have done to me if I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) 
https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-12-15/this-is-impeachment-3-for-me-ouch
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1998, when House Republicans set out to impeach President Bill Clinton for lying about sex, they claimed lofty ambitions. “This has to be a bipartisan exercise,” Rep. Henry J. Hyde of Illinois, then chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told me back then. He failed. His committee produced four articles of impeachment, all but one on strict party lines. The full House approved only two: perjury and obstruction of justice. The Republican-led Senate acquitted Clinton of both charges; no one in the president’s party voted against him. History repeated itself last week in mirror image.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The IRS is an equal opportunity employer and applicants must be a US citizen. All employees must pass an FBI fingerprint check and tax compliance verification as well as meet basic qualification requirements for education and/or experience.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Bernie Sanders wants to end at-will employment, and that’s a truly bad idea that would increase unemployment – Ryan Bourne (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Those Democrats a) determine what civil service protections federal employees have; b) falsely tell federal employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran that they will not retaliate against them because they complain about discrimination, file a charge of discrimination, or participate in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit; and c) get rid of federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they do not promote to 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.)

Find Your School The Wall Street Journal obtained the list, and it offers a glimpse of the effects on test scores – Douglas Belkin (DIERSEN: What might have increased your adversity score? For me, it might have included that a) neither of my outstanding parents attended college, b) my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) my mother never attended high school, and d) I washed dishes for the minimum wage 24 hours a week during my junior and senior years in high school and 40 hours a week during the summer in between. Further, when I was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease ).)

REPRESENTATIVE ERIC SWALWELL, [D-CA-15]
— H.R.1684 – Journalist Protection Act (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I am not a journalist.)
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1684/text
(FROM THE BILL: “(2) JOURNALIST.—The term ‘journalist’ means an individual who— “(A) is an employee, independent contractor, or agent of an entity or service that disseminates news or information— “(i) by means of a newspaper, nonfiction book, wire service, news agency, news website, mobile application or other news or information service (whether distributed digitally or otherwise), news program, magazine, or other periodical (whether in print, electronic, or other format); or “(ii) through a television broadcast, radio broadcast, multichannel video programming distributor (as defined in section 602 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 522)), or motion picture for public showing; and “(B) engages in newsgathering with the primary intent to investigate an event or procure material in order to disseminate to the public news or information concerning a local, national, or international event or other matter of public interest. “(3) NEWSGATHERING.—The term ‘newsgathering’ means engaging in regular gathering, preparation, collection, photographing, recording, writing, editing, reporting, or publishing concerning a local, national, or international event or other matter of public interest.)

LADDERS
— What NOT to talk about in a job interview (political affiliation) – Christina Brennan (DIERSEN: If I had been active in Republican politics a) the Post Office would NOT have offered me a job in 1966, b) IRS would NOT have offered me a job in 1971 or promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, and c) GAO would NOT have offered me a job in 1980 or promoted me in 1986. Further, because they view me as being “too conservative” and as NOT being a yes-man, when Republicans ran Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, they would NOT have offered me a job either.) 
https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/what-not-to-talk-about-in-a-job-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political affiliation Being politically engaged is very important. Unless you’re in politics or your primary volunteer experience is related, stay away from discussing your beliefs or affiliations. If you do have professional or volunteer experience, be sure to focus on the outcomes and lessons you learned that can be applied in the role you’re interviewing for, rather than advocating for a politician, party or issue.)
— What NOT to talk about in a job interview (family plans) – Christina Brennan (DIERSEN: Government is nasty, politics is nasty, Democrats are nasty. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates knew from Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on my wife and I that we planned to have children. After my wife and I gave up trying to have children, after we did not adopt, and after we did not become foster parents, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had lied about our family plans and that I should be punished severely for that. While virtually all of my coworkers viewed travel assignments positively and requested travel assignments, I had not requested travel assignments because my wife and I were trying to start a family. In 1989, to punish me for giving up trying to start a family, my Democrat GAO superiors threw me off audits of IRS and assigned me a 6-month travel assignment in Rock Island.) 
https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/what-not-to-talk-about-in-a-job-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Family plans While pregnancy or parenthood discrimination is illegal and interviewers can’t ask if you’re in a relationship or have kids, you may still find yourself weaving these personal details into a story or talking about your future. Unfortunately, expressing future family plans can still create red flags, especially for women.)

— AUGUST 20, 2018 FLASHBACK: Chinese scholar proposes ‘no child tax’ on childless citizens to encourage couples to have more babies – KELSEY CHENG (DIERSEN: Virtually all my Democrat superiors in the federal government were married and a) had children and/or b) had a spouse who had little or no income. Virtually all of them were anti-DINK (dual income, no kids). Prior to 1978 when I got married, they were furious that I did not have a spouse or children to support like they did. After 1978, they were even more furious that my wife had a good job, we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)

Or at least, that’s what LGBT Inc., the activist class and lobby, is claiming, based on the results of a new YouGov/Out Magazine survey into the 2020 election. The left-wing activist organization Human Rights Campaign, essentially an arm of the Democratic Party, put out a press release touting the poll’s results, declaring that “LGBTQ Voters Strongly Condemn Trump.” It highlighted selected figures from the survey and concluded, “One thing is clear, while LGBTQ people are diverse in race, identity and opinion, they are unified in opposition to the Trump-Pence administration.”)

https://onenewsnow.com/business/2019/11/22/msg-to-chick-fil-a-say-what-you-want-but-you-caved
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Appeasement of bullies ‘will not work’ A pro-family activist who works to expose the truth about homosexuality says the fast-food giant is making a huge mistake by appeasing radical LGBT bullies. LaBarbera, Peter “Already the homosexual lobby is demanding that Chick-fil-A establish a non-discrimination policy at its company,” says Peter LaBarbera, founder and president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. “They’re going to demand that Chick-fil-A sign onto the HRC Corporate Equality Index with its radical agenda for corporations. They’re not going to let go of Chick-fil-A; they are the political bullies of the century. “They’re going to demand more concessions and they’re going to continue to call Chick-fil-A hateful,” he emphasizes. “This appeasement strategy will not work.”)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/13/nyregion/peter-king-long-island-republicans.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats now outnumber Republicans on Long Island, a once unthinkable development in a traditional conservative stronghold where voters backed every Republican presidential candidate, bar two, from 1900 to 1988. . .The shift mirrors a nationwide trend of historically moderate or conservative suburban voters now slowly tipping left. Just last week, those voters helped flip the Virginia statehouse, ousted the last Republicans in a Philadelphia-area County Council and appear to have unseated the Republican governor of Kentucky. The pattern, if it holds, could prove decisive not only for the 2020 presidential election, but also for the makeup of each party’s base for decades.)

He eventually pulled himself up and started over, graduating from Adelphi University and going on to earn a master’s degree. “I found stability,” he wrote, “and dedicated my life to helping others.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since his exit from politics, the GOP has had to change direction. The party hopes its grassroots fundraising campaign, called Lincoln Legion, will raise funds the old-fashioned way. Hackler says 92 percent of all donations in 2019 have been of $100 or less. How it’s playing out: The party raised $36,405 during the most recent reporting period that ended Sept. 30, according to the State Board of Elections. That’s up from $19,000 in donations the previous three months. Republicans have $106,369 cash on hand — up from $88,412 at the end of June. The House Republican Organization has $417,006 cash on hand; the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee has $214,986 cash on hand; and House Minority Leader Jim Durkin has $1.1 million on hand. Those are small-fry numbers compared to the Democratic Party of Illinois, which has $819,289 cash on hand. Sure, there are more Dems in Illinois, but the differences are stark. Friends of Michael Madigan has $7.1 million, the Democratic Majority has $4 million, and the 13th Ward Organization, where Madigan holds sway, has $1.8 million. Pritzker isn’t the only reason Dem fundraising outpaces the GOP. There’s been an eroding of Republican support in the affluent suburbs. Call it the Trump effect, says Democratic political consultant Scott Kennedy. “The 2018 Democratic fundraising success has largely been attributed to a higher level of enthusiasm among Democratic voters but the number of check-writing affluent suburbanites who switched from Republican to Democrat in the Trump era likely also played a role,” he told Playbook. “If Illinois Republicans are going to rebound, they’ll need to reverse that trend.”)

TECH CRUNCH
— Work permit delays disrupt foreign workers’ career plans (DIERSEN: What disrupted you career plans? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. In 1971 when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)
