— A vacant White House job: first pet – AP
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/35952041/a-vacant-white-house-job-first-pet
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politically ambitious pups and kittens: Put your resumes aside. The job of first pet – an enviable White House gig with luxurious live-in privileges, after-hours access to the president and guaranteed positive press coverage – is not currently available. That’s because President Donald Trump is not looking for a fluffy sidekick at the moment. Asked about plans for a four-legged addition to the White House, Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for Melania Trump, said in a statement: “The first family is still getting settled so there are no plans at this time.” If Trump stays pet-free, he will be breaking with a long held tradition of presidential pet ownership.)

GOPUSA
— Leftists terrified of cleaning up voter rolls  (DIERSEN: How much deadwood is on the voter rolls for your precinct?  The longer that your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain has served in your precinct, and the longer that the borders of your precinct have not been changed, and the fewer voters that are registered in your precinct, the better able your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain should be able to identify and report deadwood.)

— Fast-track training put officer Mohamed Noor on Minneapolis police force  (DIERSEN: When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors did NOT put me on any kind of fast-track anything. To transfer, they required me to take an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, from $90,173 (GS-12 Step 5) down to $71,326 (GS-9 Step 10). For my first 6 years with GAO and for my last 9 years, they succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS. They did not promote me to GA-13 Step 1, $94,610 in today’s dollars, until 1986 and they never promoted me beyond that. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

DUPAGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
— John Curran appointed to State Senate  County Board Vice Chairman picked as Radogno replacement
https://www.facebook.com/DuPageGOP
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: Downers Grove, Ill. — The Republican 41st Senate District Selection Committee announced today the appointment of John Curran to the Office of State Senator for the 41st Senate District of Illinois. “John Curran will be an excellent State Senator for the 41st District,” said DuPage County GOP Chairman Brian Krajewski. “As the Vice Chairman of the DuPage County Board, John is a strong advocate for fiscal restraint and good government reforms, has deep roots in the community, and knows the pressing issues that southwest suburban residents face.” After interviewing about a dozen candidates, the committee members agreed that Curran is the most qualified person to serve the remainder of Christine Radogno’s term. “We interviewed many outstanding candidates who applied to fill this vacancy,” said Will County GOP Chairman Kathy Havel. “John’s record in support of respectful, responsible, representative government and his extraordinary commitment to constituent service was clear.” Since 2008, Curran has served the 3rd District of the DuPage County Board, where he led the effort to ban the end-of-career pension enhancements that is projected to save taxpayers $28 million. During his public service, he has pushed for transportation infrastructure development and cost-saving public employee reforms. For his professional career, he is a Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney focusing on employment and labor litigation. He also has municipal experience as a former trustee for the Village of Woodridge and is a current resident of Downers Grove. The 41st Senate District is in Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties. The Selection Committee consisted of Chairman Krajewski, Chairwoman Havel, Lyons Township GOP Committeewoman Christine Cook, and Lemont Township GOP Committeeman Howie Ludwig. Also present were Downers Grove Township GOP Chairman Bob Grogan, Lisle Township GOP Chairman Jay Fisher, and Homer Township GOP Chairman Brian Burian.)

They would stress that during those years, very few depended on government, on charity, or on welfare and that Crete was overwhelmingly White, German-American, Lutheran, conservative, and Republican.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20170722/the-soapbox-daily-herald-editors-offer-brief-thoughts-on-suburban-topics-in-the-news
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Each week the Northern Illinois Food Bank feeds more than 71,500 people in 13 counties. It relies on hundreds of people, including volunteers. This week about 250 people from Kellogg’s pitched in to pack food. Kellogg’s also donated $10,000 toward hunger relief programs. Yet another ray of sunshine keeps the food bank thriving. I should write a book about the leading Crete-haters in Wheaton and in Glen Ellyn.)

Most, if not virtually all of my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates DID NOT want to work for her or work with her because she was very demanding, female, younger, Jewish, and wealthy. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago and had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. To turn her against me, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to her that I was conservative (she was liberal), Republican (she was Democrat), I was 100% German national origin (she was 100% Russian national origin), I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran (she was Jewish), and that my ancestors had been in America since the 1840s (her ancestors were recent immigrants).)

They stress that I am no longer the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc.)

— Trump attack puts Sessions in a bind – REBECCA SAVRANSKY AND JORDAN FABIAN  (DIERSEN: The following attacks by my Democrat superiors in the federal government put me in a bind. My Democrat GAO superiors 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 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 forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Hits on federal retirement advance as bill is introduced to fire feds for ‘no cause at all’ – Joe Davidson (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/07/21/hits-on-federal-retirement-advance-as-bill-is-introduced-to-fire-feds-for-no-cause-at-all/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Future federal employees could lose their jobs much more easily under legislation introduced by Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.). He wants all new feds to be considered at-will employees, meaning they “may be removed/suspended without notice or right to appeal for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all,” according to a summary of the legislation. This represents no understanding that civil service protections are designed to protect not just staffers, but also the public from a government bureaucracy riven with political favoritism, as was the case under the spoils system. Even members of Congress eager to fire feds faster must know that this drastic proposal runs afoul of a basic and long-standing principle that says government staffers should be protected from willy-nilly punishment by political operatives. While Rokita’s plan demonstrates the extremes to which the fire-feds-faster crowd will go, presumably, but perhaps not assuredly, there are enough people in Congress who know better. I doubt his legislation will fly. . .Not all Republicans want to punish feds. Nine GOP House members signed a letter in June opposing Trump’s proposal, because it would renege on the retirement promised to feds when they joined the government. “Congress and the administration cannot balance the federal budget on the backs of our federal workers,” said one of the letter signers, Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), after the House plan was released Tuesday. “Many of our federal employees work at the CIA, Pentagon, FBI, law enforcement, homeland security and intelligence agencies.  They and our federal workforce are dedicated hard-working professionals who work day and night to protect our homeland and national security, cure diseases, and provide services that help the American people.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 7. Encourage him to limit work during high school to no more than 15 hours a week…. Studies show students who work more than that are less likely to get a college degree. The summer’s the time to fire on all engines (you may want to see whether your city offers stipends or hourly wages for summer jobs involving teens.) 8. …And to get a part-time job while in college. Interestingly, research shows that students who work in an on-campus job up to 20 hours a week get higher grades than those who don’t, according to Kobliner. According to a study from the University of California at Merced, “Kids who help pay for their college costs, whether they need to or not, feel more invested in their education because they are more invested financially.”)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-aide-fired-for-unacceptable-tweets-on-his-first-day-on-job/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “body man” — a hand-picked assistant chosen to travel with him — was terminated on his first day of the job after a series of homophobic and racist comments were found on his Twitter page. Ben Tracy was chosen by the administration to replace Kyle Haevers, who was told on Sunday that he was being moved to another department. The administration on Monday confirmed Tracy’s termination. “These tweets are unacceptable. The individual in question is no longer an employee of our Administration,” Rauner’s Director of Communications Laurel Patrick said in an email. In several tweets, Tracy used the word f*****. In another he comments on a political story saying “Maybe body slamming reporters is the winning formula for republicans in IL?” The tweets were reposted by @RadicalCandorIL – a parody account that has criticized the governor since the rash of firings began last week.)

To punish me for Brady’s loss, his supporters tried, but failed to have the Illinois Center Right Coalition censure me at its 2006 annual convention.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/kapos-cupich-says-hopelessness-of-guns-racism-fueled-childs-death/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Illinois Republicans are having deja vu, circa 2006. That’s when a divided GOP lost the governor’s race. Treasurer Judy Barr Topinka won the Republican nomination that year to challenge incumbent Democrat Rod Blagojevich. Topinka’s primary was brutal. She bested businessman Ron Gidwitz, dairyman Jim Oberweis and state Sen. Bill Brady. The race was so bitter that Oberweis, now a state senator, balked at endorsing Topinka. Divisiveness persisted into the general election and Topinka, who died a few years later, wasn’t able to convince voters that the party was unified. Fast-forward to Republican lawmakers recently defecting from Gov. Bruce Rauner on the vote to end a budget impasse. That split could have a similar effect on the coming gubernatorial election, according to a few GOP insiders.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170717/BLOGS02/170719869/rauner-hires-political-unknown-as-campaign-chief
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Besler was not available for comment, and a couple of GOP campaign vets I spoke with say they do not know who he is. A statement released by the Illinois Republican Party says GOP officials consider him as “a talented leader who understands the political landscape, the state’s critical issues, and the opportunity facing Illinois Republicans in the 2018 election.” Besler’s LinkedIn page indicates he attended Northern Illinois University, worked as a legislative liaison for then-Cook County State’s Attorney Jack O’Malley, and then spent 11 years as director of public relations for Experian, an information services company. At the Illinois Opportunity Project, he worked with Ben Tracy. He is the man who was hired and then immediately fired by Rauner today as his traveling aide or “body man” after reports emerged of racist and homophobic social media posts by him. In an email, Proft confirmed that Tracy did work for the project under him and Besler as “a junior policy analyst” but the neither was aware of his tweets. We don’t use or condone that kind of language. He was wrong to say the things he said and he’s accepted the consequences.” Proft said Besler also worked for the House campaign organization.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many believed it to be a good thing, but numerous others could not come up with an explanation. Cabot Phillips, media director of Campus Reform.org, said on “Fox & Friends” the footage is not misrepresented and that a number of students believed socialism to be about “social justice for all [and] equality.” “Sadly, most people my age are being taught that competition is scary because there’s a chance of losing, but we need to make sure that everyone has an equal chance of opportunity, not outcome,” said Phillips. He noted that these students should learn about the results of socialist regimes, like in Venezuela.)

But that was a) because my father had died suddenly at age 47 in October of 1969, b) because my mother had never attended high school and she had never earned income, c) because I had applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them, and d) because the job that I had gotten working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights did not pay that much.)

July 13 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The DuPage County Election Commission (DCEC) has been asked by your GOPUSA Illinois Editor to immediately and individually notify by regular mail and by email each and every elected Precinct Committeeman in precincts affected by DCEC’s proposed precinct line changes.  Please join me in this request by emailing and/or by phoning the following: Cathy Terrill – Chairperson at cterrill@dupageco.org and 630-407-5697; James S. Lowe – Vice Chair at jlowe@dupageco.org and 630-407-5699; John J. Boske – Secretary at john.boske@dupageco.org and 630-407-5698; and Joseph H. Sobecki – Executive Director at joseph.sobecki@dupageco.org and 630-407-5614.  To see the numerous proposed changes, visit: http://www.dupageco.org/Election/Election_Commission_News/2017/55317/.  My understanding is that the DCEC is scheduled to vote on these numerous proposed changes at its July 26, 2017 meeting. My understanding is a) that about 100 precincts in Downers Grove Township would be affected by the proposed changes and about 12 new precincts would be added and b) that about 27 precincts in Milton Township would be affected and about 6 new precincts would be added. If you are an elected Precinct Committeeman like I have been since 2000, you understand my concerns about this. – Dave Diersen

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Shock, fears and tears as heads roll in Rauner administration – Michael Sneed (DIERSEN: What if someone concluded that Rauner is striking a more Libertarian tone instead of a more conservative tone?  Conservatives like me do NOT promote dependency on government or charity, redistribution of wealth, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, vices including booze, gambling, and pot, Islam, race or gender based preference giving, age discrimination, diminishment of the First or Second Amendments, etc.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/govs-house-cleaning-leaves-staff-in-shock-and-it-may-not-be-over/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was a massacre.  It wasn’t pretty. There was no forewarning; it happened quickly and abruptly. And Sneed hears there is more to come. To wit: While Gov. Bruce Rauner’s press and policy troops were busting their butts during budget negotiations, plans were already afoot to make a hard right politically — clean house and bring in a new team. First up! On Monday morning, Rauner personally ousted his Chief of Staff Richard Goldberg, who was described by his troops as fiercely loyal to the governor and his mission. It would be the only one the governor would personally fire. “Everyone was in shock,” said a Rauner staffer who asked to remain anonymous. “I mean everyone came to work Monday morning. But when we were told Richard [Goldberg] was out, we had a feeling if he could do that to him — who was a leader and fiercely loyal — who wouldn’t they do that to? “Over the next 24 hours everyone was a wreck,” the source added. “Staff fear was at its height. Doors were shut. People were crying. We then watched one person’s head roll after another. When you see a friend you respect who has worked so hard get dismissed just like that, it’s very difficult.”  On Tuesday morning, Rauner’s communications director, Brad Hahn, was fired by Rauner’s new Chief of Staff Kristina Rasmussen — who had served as president of the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank. The buckshot: Hahn was calmly told his services were no longer required and was asked to clean out his office before being escorted out of the building. Laurel Patrick, who worked for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, is now head of communications. On Tuesday evening, Catherine Kelly, deputy director of communications for Rauner’s administration, was also abruptly fired by Rasmussen. Kelly, however, who was also asked to clean out her office before being escorted out, was in the process of delaying an anticipated move to Texas in August, where her husband had been offered a job with a law firm. Did he see the handwriting on the wall? Lance Trover, the gov’s prickly deputy chief of staff for communications, had given his notice last month. The big question: Will Mike Mahoney, the governor’s policy chief, be told to leave? “Mike was the guy who kept the troops together, but the expectation is that there is a lot more to come in the cleaning house department,” a Rauner source said. “It’s been tough. The morale is bad. People are afraid. It has been a coup d’etat type of environment. The conservative Illinois Policy Institute has taken charge.” Sneed hears Rauner and his wife, Diana, were planning on making these changes earlier — especially in the communications department — but surprised some of their advisers on how quickly they moved to do so. “I knew a few heads would roll, but am told there’s more to come.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: To qualify as “post-Christian,” respondents in the cities had to meet at least nine of the 16 identifying factors in Barna’s list, which included such categories as “Do not believe in God,” “Disagree the Bible is accurate,” “Identify as atheist or agnostic,” “Have never made a commitment to Jesus,” and “Disagree that faith is important in their lives.”)

— Rauner Sending A Message With Staff Shakeup – SEAN CRAWFORD  (DIERSEN: Since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used their hiring, retention, and promotion policies to send a message, namely, that if you are not a Democrat, a minority, a female, or young, do not seek a federal job or try to hold on to a federal job.  It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

TMN
— DeSantis introduces bill to provide greater transparency over govt. pensions – Bryan Renbaum  (DIERSEN: Andrzejewski wants to know for federal retires like me: “Who is retired, where they worked, who they are, how much they got, how long they worked, how much they paid into the system.” Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension. Since 1997, when I was 49 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for collecting a $50,856 CSRS pension in today’s dollars.  While I worked part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969, for IRS 1971-1980, and for GAO 1980-1997, I paid into the CSRS $70,932 in yesterday’s dollars (7% of my salary). In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $122,991. So far, in today’s dollars, CSRS has paid me $1,008,644 (238 months X $4,238). Andrzejewski should acknowledge that if my Democrat GAO superiors had not been allowed/encouraged to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I might still be working for GAO, still paying 7% of my salary into the CSRS, and CSRS would not have paid me anything. I should write a book about those who allowed/encouraged my Democrats GAO superiors to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.  They certainly did not side with me in Diersen v. GAO.)
http://www.talkmedianews.com/featured/2017/07/12/desantis-introduces-bill-provide-greater-transparency-govt-pensions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) told TMN Wednesday that today he will formally introduce legislation aimed at providing greater transparency over government-funded pensions. “Let’s open the books on the federal pension data. Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent and let’s just put that information out there for public consumption,” DeSantis said. “It’s very difficult, I think, to be opposed to that concept and so I think we’ll probably get pretty strong support,” he added. The Taxpayer-Funded Pension Disclosure Act of 2017 will be reviewed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Adam Andrzejewski, founder and CEO of the Illinois-based nonprofit taxpayer watchdog group Open the Books, spoke alongside DeSantis and said his organization worked with the congressman’s office for three months to help craft the legislation. Andrzejewski said passage of the measure would constitute a landmark victory for transparency advocates. “For the first time it would make subject to the Freedom of Information Act the release of: Who is retired, where they worked, who they are, how much they got, how long they worked, how much they paid into the system – so we can finally bring hard data to the issues of pensions,” he explained. Andrzejewski said research by Moodys suggests that taxpayers on average foot the bill for about $150 billion per year in federal pension funds and that the number increases to about $3.5 trillion when unfunded liabilities are considered. “The amount of money that goes out in terms of retirement annuities each year dwarfs the budget of the state of Texas or dwarfs the budget in the state of Florida each year,” he explained.)
