My GAO career went downhill fast after my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of the GAO manager who hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986.  Were it not for civil service protections, my IRS and GAO careers would have gone downhill even faster.)

POLITICO
— Trump shames Sessions amid shake-up speculation  Advisers said Trump was considering whether to make a change. Sessions, an Eagle Scout, was noticeably absent on a West Virginia stage as Trump spoke to a Boy Scout jamboree. – JOSH DAWSEY, ELIANA JOHNSON, NAHAL TOOSI and DANIEL LIPPMAN  (DIERSEN: In what ways have your critics/opponents succeeded in shaming you?  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.  Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, my service as a Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster in 2010 and 2004, my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2007, and my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004. How do you deal with those who shame you?  So far, my policy has been to forgive those who trespass against me, but I am reconsidering that.)

UPI
— JULY 25: In 1978, the world’s first “test-tube” baby, Louise Brown, was born in Oldham, England.  My wife and I were married on April 1, 1978. Because we gave up trying to have children without trying the test tube baby procedure, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates demonized, denigrated, and condemned me. They compared and contrasted me adversely with one of my Democrat female coworkers who did not abort her child who had Down Syndrome. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

Since the 1960s, one of the federal government’s top priorities has been to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially those who are female, minority, and/or young.)

They stress that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and that I was never promoted beyond that.  They stress a) that 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; b) that 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; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— The Performance Revolution Government Needs – Howard Risher  (DIERSEN: Assessing job performance, work experience, etc. is extremely subjective.

DAILY HERALD
— Rauner: Madigan promotes property taxes for personal profit  (DIERSEN: Since my wife and I had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that we should pay higher real estate taxes, that is, that the home’s assessed value should be increased.  They side with the home’s builder, with the subdivision’s builder, and with the City of Wheaton that argue that no building or construction code were violated when the subdivision and the home were built. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my wife and I have the “ability to pay” higher taxes because I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I have always been privileged, because I avoided the draft, because the federal government grossly overpaid me, because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, and because my federal retirement benefits are much too generous. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with Madigan.)

— Smuggling Deaths: What Is to Blame? – MARK KRIKORIAN  (DIERSEN: ANSWER: Anti-Trump individuals, anti-Trump organizations, anti-Trump companies, anti-Trump governments, and anti-Trump countries that encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.)
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/449785/smuggling-deaths-what-blame
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Without E-Verify and worksite enforcement, we send the message that hiring illegal aliens is okay. Without prosecution of immigration-related Social Security fraud and tax fraud we send the message that lying and cheating is okay. Without tracking the departure of temporary visitors, and following up on those who overstay, we send the message that violating the terms of admission is okay. Foreigners hear that message loud and clear, which is why they’re so willing to pay criminals to smuggle them here.)

FED SMITH
— Should the Government Fire More People? And How Should They Do It? – Jeff Neal  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government against me.  Constructively, my Democrat GAO superiors fired me in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Since then, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that to viciously demonize me, to viciously denigrate me, and to condemn me. Further, they stress a) that my Democrat GAO superiors 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; b) that 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; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

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.)

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.)

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).)

NEW YORK TIMES
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Working in White House, Still Making Millions – RACHEL ABRAMS and JESSE DRUCKER  (DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress that during the first 18 months that I worked for IRS 1971-1972, I also worked (with official permission) part-time pumping gasoline for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. That part-time income helped me a) help support my mother and brother, b) pay for tuition and books for graduate business classes at Loyola, c) pay off my 1972 Corvette car loan, and d) have a down payment to buy a new town home in University Park in September of 1972.)

If anti-Trumps are glorified and praised in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America, then your municipality, your township/ward, your county, Illinois, and America are run by anti-Trumps. From what I see, overwhelmingly, those who are glorified and praised in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, and in America are anti-Trumps. Because I am a Trump supporter, anti-Trumps in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, and in America a) demonize, denigrate, and condemn me and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn what I do.)

Rauner did not get elected as an Independent, he got elected as a Republican.  It would have been great if Rauner had referred to the IRP platform in addition to his “44- point turnaround plan for the state.”)

— Honorably discharged veterans will soon get to shop tax-free – AP (DIERSEN: Constructively, by their forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors gave me a dishonorable discharge. Other adverse actions that they took against me included always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond GS-13, 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 $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.  They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government against me.)

— 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.”)

— Rauner staffers ‘dropping like flies’ in wave of firings, resignations – Tina Sfondeles
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-staffers-dropping-like-flies-in-wave-of-firings-resignations/
— Rauner aide fired for ‘unacceptable’ tweets — on his first day on job – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Who recommended Ben Tracy? Who does background investigations for the Rauner Administration?)
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.)

— Is it 2006 all over again? – Shia Kapos  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who shout at Gidwitz, at Oberweis, and at Brady that my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails caused them to lose in 2006. 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.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Rauner hires political unknown Matthew Besler as campaign chief – GREG HINZ
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.)

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.)
