I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

— As local media outlets disappear, bad actors are stepping into the void – Editorial (DIERSEN: According to Google, Facebook, the Democrat news media, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents, Greens, RINOs, etc., I am a bad actor and a propagandist because I do NOT claim to be non-partisan.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet despite a note in most of their “about” pages promising “to provide objective, data-driven information without political bias,” they aren’t really offering reporting. They’re offering propaganda. A mishmash of conservative political operatives, public relations professionals and think tanks act as “clients” for the sites, paying freelancers to prop up Republican candidates and knock down Democratic competitors. The writers don’t adopt traditional best practices such as, say, calling Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Sara Gideon of Maine for comment when accusing her of being a hypocrite. Sometimes they’re even instructed on precisely what to say by an article’s subject.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Shia Kapos jabs Esther Joy King. I have lived in Illinois since 1948 and in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978. My website is at www.gopillinois.com .)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: She doesn’t really mention living in Texas and Chicago before moving to the district, which lines the state’s northwest border with Iowa, a point Bustos seizes on in her latest ad: “Who is the real Esther Joy King? She just moved from Chicago to run for Congress.” Before running for office, King headed a social media marketing company called 364.Social, a company we couldn’t find online. King says that’s because it was folded into another marketing firm that she helped start: GRP21, which also has next-to-no presence online. A few years ago, King also billed herself as founder of Flashbulb Media — another company that appears to be non-existent. King doesn’t mention those companies on her LinkedIn page — she said she just chose not to — and didn’t supply any information about them. She told Playbook she “no longer has any ownership interest” in Flashbulb or GRP21.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: NEWS FAKERY EXCLUSIVE: As local news dies, a pay-for-play network rises in its place — and its roots are in Illinois: The New York Times exposes Chicago-area businessman Brian Timpone’s media empire running websites across the country and in Illinois, including the “North Cook News,” which appear as news sites. In fact, the Times says Republican operatives pay Timpone’s company to order up stories they dictate to reporters. Jeanne Ives has paid Timpone $55,000 and received favorable stories in return, according to the Times. When asked if she had paid companies for pay-for-play news stories, she said: “Oh, no, there’s none of that going on. I assure you. Oh, my gosh, no. Oh, no, not at all.” Also linked to Timpone’s companies: conservative talk show host Dan Proft and John Tillman, an activist who once led the Illinois Opportunity Project and who is connected to groups that have paid “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to underwrite Timpone’s “news” operation. … How it works: “Editors for Mr. Timpone’s network assign work to freelancers dotted around the United States and abroad, often paying $3 to $36 per job. The assignments typically come with precise instructions on whom to interview and what to write, according to the internal correspondence. In some cases, those instructions are written by the network’s clients, who are sometimes the subjects of the articles.”)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: As Local News Dies, a Pay-for-Play Network Rises in Its Place A nationwide operation of 1,300 local sites publishes coverage that is ordered up by Republican groups and corporate P.R. firms. – Davey Alba and Jack Nicas (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one pays me. No one calls my tunes. However, my critics/opponents can and do punish me. They do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails. They ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service (twice), my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, and my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/18/technology/timpone-local-news-metric-media.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jeanne Ives, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in Illinois, has had a direct financial relationship with the operation. Ms. Ives has paid Mr. Timpone’s companies $55,000 over the past three years, according to state and federal records. During that time, the Illinois sites have published overwhelmingly positive coverage of her, including running some of her news releases verbatim. In an interview, she said her payments were to create her website and monitor her Wikipedia page. One $14,342 payment included the note “Advertising-newspaper.” Ms. Ives initially could not explain why. She later called back to say Mr. Timpone had bought Facebook ads for her. Asked if she was paying for positive coverage, she replied: “Oh, no, there’s none of that going on. I assure you. Oh, my gosh, no. Oh, no, not at all.” Ms. Ives is listed as a “story watcher.” She said she did not know why.)

— Their Bosses Asked Them to Lead Diversity Reviews. Guess Why. When corporations try to belatedly address issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, they often drop the responsibility on their few Black employees. – Jennifer Miller (DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs use Diversity to not hire and to get rid of those who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, draft avoiders (except Joe Biden and Bill Clinton), and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

In other words — for the foreseeable future we seem to be almost for sure living in a continued COVID world for some period between months and years. And just when I thought things were bleak enough, I read the World Health Organization’s assessment back in May of 2020 to which I cannot find a change of opinion published anywhere: “This virus may never go away!”)

— ‘The tyranny of merit’ is tearing America apart – Stan Grant (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was able to do the following a) only because my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were not poor and b) only because me, my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females: I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. In my defense, I was the first of my ancestors to earn a college degree notwithstanding the fact a) that neither of my outstanding parents attended college, b) that my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that after fighting type 1 diabetes from age 14, he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, and d) that my mother never attended high school.)
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-18/us-tyranny-of-merit/12774726
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Regardless of who wins the US election, one thing is certain: it will be a victory for the meritocracy. The meritocracy are the elite, the richest, most privileged of Americans who have a stranglehold on power and wealth. Like the aristocracy of old they are distant from the rest of the population, often looking down on them, mocking them or exploiting them. Like the aristocrats they party together, live alongside each other in the same wealthy suburbs and attend the same weddings, even if they supposedly represent different sides of politics. Remember, Bill and Hillary Clinton were guests at the wedding of Donald and Melania Trump. The meritocracy has rigged the game to suit themselves, getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. Their children dominate entry to the best universities, a pathway to the richest careers ensuring this new royalty shores up its status for another generation. So entrenched and immovable is this elite that the Brookings Institution showed that, on current trends, “it would take six generations for family economic advantage to disappear”.)

— What the Coronavirus Means for the Future of Financial Planning It’s time to rethink what our financial goals can and should look like. – Christine Benz
https://www.morningstar.com/features/what-covid-means-for-the-future-of-financial-planning
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How Can You Accommodate Low Yields in a Financial Plan? Finally, retirees of all ages—early or otherwise—have a huge challenge today in the form of very low bond yields, the result of Federal Reserve activity designed to ignite an economy that would otherwise be struggling even more amid the pandemic-related slowdown. . .Moreover, the fact that safe securities yield so little today has contributed to the ascent of higher-risk assets, especially stocks. But even as retirees have gained on one side of the ledger as yields have declined, they’ve lost on the other. Not only do low yields reduce how much retirees can wring from their safe investments, but yields are also predictive of what bonds are apt to return over the next decade. The Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index currently has an SEC yield of about 1.3%, suggesting that investors will barely break even assuming even modest levels of inflation.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— Want More Diverse Senior Leadership? Sponsor Junior Talent. – Herminia Ibarra and Nana von Bernuth (DIERSEN: My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of my IRS mentor who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. I might still be an IRS employee if my Democrat IRS superiors had not succeeded in doing that. My Democrat GAO superiors got rid of my GAO mentor who hired me in 1980, who got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who promoted me in 1986. I might still be a GAO employee if my Democrat GAO superiors had not succeeded in doing that. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997.)

— Budget, transparency among issues in Kane auditor election – DAVID SHAROS
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/ct-abn-kane-auditor-candidates-st-1011-20201009-eknl34msxrh7rk6kzh5vv37m5e-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Terry Hunt, 68, of Big Rock, is looking to continue in the position of county auditor, a job he has held since 2012. Looking at the county, Hunt says concerns include the pandemic and its impact, and concerns about taxes. “COVID has been front and center of everything and is on everyone’s list at this point,” Hunt said. “It impacts people’s lives on so many levels from personal health to the ability to buy food and work. It has overshadowed typical things like taxes.” Property taxes are still an issue, Hunt insists, “as everyone is aware of what they owe” as well as their obligation to pay. If re-elected, Hunt said he wants to continue to “increase financial transparency” as well as “audit each operation in an objective and fair way.” “The auditor’s function is that he’s the only elected official authorized to audit each county operation and it’s a responsibility to the people that elected us as opposed to someone that’s appointed,” he said. Hunt also wants to continue to work with the other team members “to balance the budget” and said he will continue to work on ad hoc committees and other tasks “that go beyond the office” and above “the lowest threshold” of just doing the auditor’s job.)

My being draft bait hindered my job searches during 1970 and early 1971. My not being a minority, female, or veteran always hindered my job searches with employers that were under pressure to hire minorities, females, and/or veterans. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted me beyond GS-12, would not have disallowed my education deductions in 1978, would not have gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and would not have disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would not have forced me resign in 1969 and would not have disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
