https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180806/report-no-evidence-to-prove-sexual-misconduct-by-maine-twp-trustee
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A law firm’s investigators said there was not enough evidence to conclude whether Maine Township Trustee David Carrabotta inappropriately touched board colleague Kimberly Jones’ buttocks three times, according to a report made public Monday night. Without comment or discussion, Trustees Susan Sweeney, Claire McKenzie and Carrabotta voted to make public the Ancel Glink firm’s sexual harassment report and have it posted on the township’s website. Supervisor Laura Morask and Jones were unable to attend Monday’s meeting at the township’s Park Ridge headquarters, and they criticized Sweeney and McKenzie for calling the session despite knowing Morask and Jones would be absent.)

Because of ever-increasing pressure from Democrat politicians to admit minorities and females, I question if UIC would admit me today if I was 18, if NIU would admit me today if was 20, if Loyola would admit me today if I was 23, if DePaul would admit me today if I was 27, if Roosevelt would admit me today if I was 32, and if IIT would admit me today if I was 43.)

I did not paint myself as being a yes-man and I did not become a yes-man. I did not stifle my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I did not “take a pass” on being an active member of a lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/realestate/elitestreet/ct-re-elite-street-dwayne-wade-matteson-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A four-bedroom, 2,280-square-foot house in south suburban Matteson that is owned by basketball star Dwyane Wade has been on the market since May for $269,900. A South Side native who starred at Richards High School in Oak Lawn before attending Marquette University, Wade, 36, has played in the NBA for 16 years, most of the time for the Miami Heat. He played a year for the Bulls in 2016-2017. Public records show that Wade bought the house new in 2006 with his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, for $390,000. After the couple’s divorce, Wade was awarded the house in 2014. Now, Wade is trying to sell the house, which is in Matteson’s Newbury Estates neighborhood. The house has three baths, a large foyer with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors throughout, a family room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar, and a master suite with a private balcony, a large walk-in closet and a tray ceiling overlooking the family room. Wade first listed the house in May for $290,000 and last month cut his asking price to $269,900.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sauer’s immediate successor in the legislature will be selected by a group formed by Lake County Republican Party leader Mark Shaw and Barrington Township Republican committeeman Chris Geissler, representing the small Cook County portion of the 51st District. Shaw doesn’t know if the GOP will nominate the same person to run in November, which is a separate process. Shaw plans to consult Republican House Leader Jim Durkin on the decisions. Republican officials typically would seek applicants, Shaw said. But time is short because ballots must be finalized and certified by Aug. 30.)

DAILY HERALD
— Northrop Grumman CEO will step down – Christian Davenport and Aaron (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were fully aware of and completely disgusted with my attending a rally for Bob Dole in Wheaton on July 4, 1996.) SEE: http://capitalfax.blogspot.com/2008/07/gopusa-illinois-daily-clips-july-6-2008.html)
http://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180713/northrop-grumman-ceo-will-step-down
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The move comes just days after reports surfaced that the company employed a member of a white supremacist organization who participated in a violent rally in Charlottesville last summer. The employee, identified as Michael Miselis by ProPublica and “Frontline,” no longer is employed by the company. But Northrop was slow to respond to the allegations, and the news organizations also reported that he had remained employed even after his superiors had been informed of his actions. In an email to company employees at the time, Bush said that Northrop “would take the appropriate actions to make sure that our foundation remains strong well into the future.” Asked whether the Miselis’ alleged affiliation with a white supremacist group played a role in Bush’s decision to resign, Northrop’s Paynter said “absolutely not.”)

One of my most ferocious critics in Wheaton is a close relative of my GAO superior who in 1989 succeeded in a) throwing me off audits of IRS, b) giving me an adverse job assignment, and c) getting my supervisor to give me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal. His efforts to get rid of me were so strong and so successful that I sought help from Henry Hyde.)

The trouble for many people is that they do not know how much savings they need to generate the annual income they’ll require during retirement. Frustrated or confused, maybe even outright worried, they don’t even try to figure out if their retirement savings are on track for their age and pay.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-mccarthy-dan-ryan-march-20180708-story,amp.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker’s campaign spread $2.5 million late last week to campaign coffers aimed at helping Democrats in the legislature and Cook County. Campaign finance reports show Pritzker gave $1 million to the Democratic Majority fund, which is chaired by House Speaker Michael Madigan and is used to assist Democratic House members and candidates. Another $1 million was headed to two different funds aimed at helping Democrats in the state Senate — $500,000 apiece to the Senate Democratic Victory Fund headed by Senate President John Cullerton and the Illinois Democratic Heartland Committee, which assists Downstate Senate Democrats. Pritzker, a billionaire heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, also dropped $500,000 to the Cook County Democratic Party, which is now headed by County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. Democrats are counting on Pritzker to help down-ballot candidates in much the same way that his opponent, Republican Gov. Rauner, has done in subsidizing the state GOP and Republican legislative candidates.)

At GAO, they succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, giving me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond GS-13, getting rid of my mentor in 1987, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. At IRS, they succeeded in not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, getting rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974. At the Post Office, they succeeded in forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

http://www.wirepoints.com/janus-v-afscme-and-the-truth-about-illinois-pensions-in-one-graphic-wirepoints-original/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s one graphic that perfectly captures the absurdity of Illinois pensions over the past three decades. It’s what Justice Samuel Alito described as Illinois’ “generous public-employee retirement packages” when writing for the majority in the Janus v. AFSCME decision. Alito didn’t use this graphic but he could have, because it makes his point. In 1987, pension promises made to active workers and retirees in the state’s five state-run pension plans totaled just $18 billion. By 2016, they had ballooned to $208 billion. That’s a cumulative 1,067 percent increase. Contrast that to the state’s budget (general fund revenues) which was up just 236 percent over the same time period. Or household incomes, which were up just 127 percent. Or inflation, up just 111 percent. Promised pension benefits have blown past any ability of the state, the economy or taxpayers to pay for them.)

— AUGUST 17, 2017 FLASHBACK: The Top 5 Career-Limiting Habits You’ve Built (And 6 Ways to Break Them) Old habits die hard. Use these six tips to hack the process and break bad habits before they break your career. – Michael Schneider (DIERSEN: What were the most career limiting things that you did? For me, as a federal employee whose superiors were always Democrats, a) I avoided the draft, b) I refused to become a Democrat, c) I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, d) I refused to help my Democrat superiors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, e) I refused to paint myself as being a yes-man and I refused to be a yes-man, f) my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, and g) I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Further, while I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, I suggested that GAO a) not do work for U.S. Senators or for U.S. Representatives unless the work was requested by at least one Democrat AND at least one Republican and b) that about 50% of audit teams should Democrats and about 50% of audit teams should be Republicans.)

— JUNE 18, 2018 FLASHBACK: Reciprocal Marketing (DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails drive lots of traffic to websites. Since 2004, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails have included links to more than 306,200 articles on hundreds of websites. Yet sadly, very few of those websites appreciate that. Some even treat me like they are doing me a big favor by letting me drive traffic to their websites. Some even treat me like they do not want me to drive traffic to their websites. Virtually none of those websites reciprocate in any way, for example, a) by not charging me to view articles on their websites, b) by emailing me links to relevant articles on their websites, or c) by posting a link on their website to the GOPUSA ILLINOIS website (www.gopillinois.com). With only the rarest of exceptions, I do not include links to articles if I cannot view the articles. I pay thousands of dollars each year for home delivery of many newspapers and for full internet access to many newspaper websites. Needless-to-say, I should not want and I do not want reciprocity from websites that are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— Government opposes Schock’s request to stay his case – Andy Kravetz (DIERSEN: What if the news media had reported on Diersen v. GAO like it reports on U.S. Government v. Schock? In Diersen v. GAO, while Maggie Hickey served as Peter Fitzgerald’s Chief of Staff, Fitzgerald appointed both the district court judge, Amy J. St. Eve, and the attorney who represented GAO, Patrick Fitzgerald. All of the aforesaid made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Eve granted Patrick Fitzgerald’s motion to deny me my 7th Amendment rights, that is, to deny me a jury trial. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that Peter Fitzgerald, Hickey, Eve, and Patrick Fitzgerald all viewed me as being someone who was lazy, stupid, bad, and even worse things.)

In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $125,325/year, but my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is $73,461/year less than that, or only $51,864/year. My CSRS pension is only 41% of my GAO salary in today’s dollars.)

All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-union.)

CAPITOL FAX
— Gov. Rauner and JB Pritzker both attended Equality Illinois’ Pride Parade reception on Sunday. (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the future looks bleak for those who support the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. To promote LGBTQ activity is to dump those voters who support the traditional family plank in the IRP platform. To promote abortion is to dump those voters who support the right to life plank in the IRP platform. To promote illegal immigration is to dump those voters who support the immigration plank in the IRP platform. Ever-increasingly, Rauner seems to promise that if he is reelected, he will drive those who support the aforesaid planks out of the IRP once and for all, that is, that he will destroy the IRP once and for all. If Rauner is reelected, he will dump those who support the aforesaid planks. If Rauner is not reelected, he will blame those who support the aforesaid planks.)

JUDICIAL WATCH
— Judicial Watch Files House Ethics Complaint Against Maxine Waters For Inciting Violence and Assaults on Trump Cabinet (DIERSEN: In Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, in your municipality, and in your precinct, how soon, if not already, will anti-Trumps tell everyone to harass all Republicans, and especially Republicans who are precinct committeemen/captains, township/ward/county party organization officers, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members, the IRP national committeeman and committeewoman, activists, candidates, elected officials, major donors, political consultants, etc.? To avoid harassment, how many of the aforesaid will dump Trump and dump Trump’s supporters if they have not already done so?)
https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-files-house-ethics-complaint-against-maxine-waters-for-inciting-violence-and-assaults-on-trump-cabinet/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Maxine Waters addressed a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 23, telling a crowd: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them! And you tell them that they are not welcome, anymore, anywhere.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Fu3g1MGHY In today’s letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics co-chairman, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton writes: “In encouraging individuals to create “crowds” who will “push back” on President Trump’s Cabinet members at private business establishments and in seemingly trying to prevent these Cabinet officials from obtaining basic necessities without fear of assault and violence, Rep. Waters seems to be violation of House rules, specifically: “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House. [House Rule 23, clause 1.]” We hereby request that the Office of Congressional Ethics conduct a preliminary investigation into whether Rep. Maxine Waters violated House Rules in encouraging attacks on Cabinet officials. “Rep. Maxine Waters incited violence and assault against members of President Trump’s Cabinet,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is urgent that the House ethics quickly act to hold her accountable for this dangerous incitement.”)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Chicago promotes LGBTQ activity. What does your municipality promote? To promote LGBTQ activity is to reject the traditional family plank in the Illinois Republican Party platform.
http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/lgbt/Mother-Nature-shines-on-49th-Pride-Parade-/63312.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hundreds of thousands of Chicagoans and out-of-towners lined the streets of Lakeview and Uptown for the 49th annual Chicago Pride Parade the afternoon of June 24. Police officials did not yet have attendance figures at the time of publication, but estimates have suggested the crowd measured about one million spectators for the last several years. Those spectators could not have asked for better weather on June 24; after several days of rain and clouds in Chicago, sunny skies returned for Pride weekend and temperatures remained in the 70s for the afternoon of the parade. Community organizations, city agencies, educational and religious institutions, labor unions and LGBT groups from major corporations were among those taking part. Organizers were limited to 150 parade entries, and kicked off from the corner of Broadway and Montrose Avenue shortly after noon. The final float crossed the starting point at about 2:45 p.m. The parade was headed up by members of Scouts for Equality, an organization working to ensure that precepts of equality are carried out within the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), which, at least in units not affiliated with non-affirming faith-based organizations, no longer discriminates against LGBT adults. Cate Readling, vice-president of membership of the BSA’s Pathway to Adventure Council, noted that BSA had recently begun admitting girls as well. “We’re all official now,” Readling said. The Scouts were followed up by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who briefly spoke alongside Alds. Tom Tunny (44th Ward) and James Cappleman (46th). In his remarks, Emanuel spoke of the city’s “inclusivity” and “belief in equality and tolerance.” With both federal midterm and state gubernatorial elections in November, and a city election in early 2019, politicians were out in full force. J.B. Pritzker (D), who is challenging incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) in November, said, “We’re [at] a time when Donald Trump has put rights at risk. He has stood up against trans rights and LGBTQ rights, and he stood against children by putting them in detention, children who are here emigrating with their families, separating them. At a time when it feels like government has become an instrument of immorality, I think we need a governor who will stand up for the LGBTQ community and the immigrant community and not be silent in the face of Donald Trump’s attacks.” “We’ve got to stand together so we can all stand for the planet,” said Cameron Davis, formerly President Barack Obama’s “Great Lakes czar,” who is running for a commissioner’s post for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). “It doesn’t get any simpler than that.” Sean Casten, a Democrat who is running against incumbent Peter Roskam (R) in the 6th Congressional District, added, “We are going to come through this horrible time, because there is more love in the world than there is hate, and today we can stay focused on that.” Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said, “I think it’s important in these times that those of us who are despised minorities in our own country stick together. So I always try to come to this parade and I’m encouraged by the warm reception that I get.” Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th Ward) said that the parade is “not just a celebration but our annual call to arms to defend all required acceptances in our own communities. So I’m glad to be here with our brothers and sisters, making that call for acceptance one more time.” State Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) said, “LGBT people got their rights when we stood up and fought up and fought back against oppression at Stonewall. This country, under Trump, is seeing oppression unlike what we’ve seen before, not only for LGBT people, but for our immigrant communities and people of color [as well]. We need to stand together in solidarity.” Other politicians who either attended and/or sent delegations included U.S. Reps. Mike Quigley (D-6th), Robin Kelly (D-2nd) and Jan Schakowsky (D-9th); Illinois Treasurer Mike Frerichs; state Comptroller Susana Mendoza; Democratic state Reps. Kelly Cassidy, Sara Feigenholtz and Juliana Stratton (running with Pritzker); City Clerk Anna Valencia; and Deb Mell was among several other aldermen marching. Mayoral candidates included Lori Lightfoot (marching with her wife), Paul Vallas, Dorothy Brown, Gary McCarthy and Ja’Mal Green. MWRD Board President Maryana Spyropulos and MWRD Commissioners Debra Shore and Kari Steele also attended, as did Cook County Commission candidate Kevin Morrison and Berwyn School Board Member Julia McAleer-Forte. Orlando “El Fenomeno” Cruz, the first openly gay active professional boxer, was grand marshal. Educational institutions participating included Nettelhorst School; Chicago Waldorf School; Francis W. Parker School & Catherine Cook School; Elmhurst College; Rush University; Truman College and other City Colleges; University of Illinois at Chicago; University of Chicago; and Northwestern University. Among local consulates participating were Australia (for the first time), Ireland, Great Britain, Canada and Israel. Advocacy organizations and agencies included American Veterans for Equal Rights (carrying their large American flag), ACLU of Illinois, Asians and Friends Chicago, La Casa Norte, Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus, PFLAG, Night Ministry, Lambda Legal, Equality Illinois, Planned Parenthood, Chicago Gender Society (marching with Heels & Hardhats), The Legacy Project, LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois, Howard Brown Health, TPAN, Project VIDA; Thresholds, About Face Theatre, Windy City Performing Arts, Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, Center on Halsted, ForeskinPride.org, AARP of Illinois, the National Gay Pilots Association, Human Rights Campaign, Mercy for Animals and the Obama Foundation. Lakeside Pride had dozens of its members performing during the parade. Also working hard were ROTC, Chicago Spirit Brigade and the Second City Outlaws dancing cowboys. There were three motorcycle groups this year, but not Dykes on Bikes: Bikes & Mics, Chicago Gay Bikers and Organized Chaos all powered through the route. Gay Liberation Network’s large contingent was largely focused on Palestinian rights for their entry. Both professional and amateur sports teams and organizations were represented, among them Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Fire, Chicago Dragons, Chicago Smelts, Chicago Gay Hockey Association and Chicago Metropolitan Sports Association. Local businesses included Sidetrack, Roscoe’s, Balloons by Tommy, Evanston Subaru in Skokie, Broadway in Chicago, GRAB and Goose Island Beer. Dozens of area churches took part in Chicago Welcoming Churches’ entry, shouting, “God is love” as they traversed the parade route. Persons from Chicago-area synagogues also marched together. Labor Unions and trade organizations included Chicago Women in Trades, Local 881 United Food and Commercial Workers, Chicago Teachers Union, United Here Local 1 and SEIU Illinois. Among corporations represented by their LGBT groups were MB Financial Bank, Discover Financial Services, Bank of America, ComEd, Anheuser-Busch, Gap, Bloomingdales, Salesforce, Macy’s, Boeing, American Airlines, United Airlines, Hyatt Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Facebook, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Chipotle, WGN, Fox 32, ABC 7, NBC 5, Univision, Deloite, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, AT&T, Comcast, T-Mobile and Pepsico. MWRD Commisioner Debra Shore, shortly before the parade started, commented on how the LGBT community cuts across every sector of society, especially in terms of “race, class and gender,” adding, “That’s why it’s so important for us to stand up for others and for them to see us stand together in all our diversity.”)

So far, Republican entries in the parade are Peter Roskam, Peter Breen/Amy Grant, Paul Hinds, James Mendrick, Grant Eckhoff/Tim Elloitt/Chris Zaruba, Jeff McKay, Karen Wilson, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Please help me encourage Republican candidates on November 6 ballots in Wheaton to have an entry in Wheaton’s Independence Day parade.

Featured are video testimonials from Beth Montfort of Saline County, a city commissioner in Harrisburg; Scott Preston of Normal, a town council member; and Wendy Erhart of Madison County, a businesswoman in Maryville. “He understood Southern Illinois values were a lot different,” Montfort says in her testimonial.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DETHRONING PRITZKER – Natasha Korecki (DIERSEN: Have you appealed your property taxes? I did during the 1980s and 1990s. I won a reduction from the Property Tax Appeal Board. I should write a book about it and about how I have been punished for it ever since.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/06/19/immigration-debate-roils-gop-pritzker-places-1m-behind-separation-ads-jbs-toilets-vs-rauners-9-homes-280517
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Finally! We have a campaign ad out of Team Rauner that focuses on something other than imprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Instead, it zooms in on Pritzker’s Cook County property tax appeal that involved pulling toilets from a mansion abutting his own Chicago mansion. This was from a 2017 Tim Novak special that reported Pritzker disconnected toilets from an Astor street property abutting his Chicago home to classify it as “vacant and uninhabitable.” Pritzker ended up with a $230,000 property tax break. Watch “Porcelain Prince” Pritzker quickly retaliated in his own new TV ad taking a shot at Rauner’s wealth, his nine homes and past property tax appeals. But what’s likely to be even more controversial is the ad’s assertion that Rauner wanted to raise local property taxes. “Bruce Rauner owns nine homes and he’s appealed his property taxes 22 times. But now he’s attacking somebody else for the same thing? Now that’s bad. But you know what’s worse? Bruce Rauner wants to raise your property taxes. That’s right, Rauner’s budget cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.”)

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Gubernatorial Election: What to Do, What to Do… – Laurie Higgins (DIERSEN: To vote for Pritzker is to vote for pot and to vote for even worse things.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/06/gubernatorial-election-what-to-do-what-to-do-_-docx/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Maybe Illinois conservatives, beaten down by Illinois politics and bad governance, badgered by fellow Republicans, and panicking because they focus too much on the short-term nightmarish picture they see before their eyes, will at the last moment fold and vote for Bruce Rauner. That would be a huge mistake. The long-term health of the party, the state, and the nation depends not solely or even centrally on tax rates for businesses but on issues related to respect for human life, marriage, and sexuality. The fact that so many Republicans don’t see that bodes ill for Illinois and America. Having Pinocchio Rauner at the helm of the Republican Party will exacerbate the ignorance on these issues, and the GOP will continue to rot from within. We don’t need any more evidence of Rauner’s unfitness for office, but here goes. On Father’s Day, Rauner chose to demonstrate his contempt—again—for conservative voters by marching in the shameful homosexual “pride” parade in Aurora, Illinois. On the day that commemorates fathers, he marched in a parade that celebrates the intrinsically sterile unions of people who are acquiring children like commodities and intentionally depriving children of fathers (and mothers).)
