— Train students for the high-skill jobs companies can’t fill – Editorial  (DIERSEN: Generally, the worse that a job is, the more difficult that it is for an employer to fill that job.  As my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will attest, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs.  Because the jobs that I had in the federal government were so bad, it was extremely difficult for my superiors to hire and to retain Democrats, minorities, females, and younger people. Qualified Democrats, qualified minorities, qualified females, and qualified younger people could always find a better job in the private sector.)

Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have undeservedly been on a gravy train.  They stress a) my buying new cars, b) my avoiding the draft, c) my federal salary, benefits, and pension, d) my earning college degrees, professional certifications, and a professional license, e) my buying real estate, f) my marriage and my wife’s income and savings, g) my wife and I buying real estate, h) our giving up trying to have children, not adopting, and not becoming foster parents, i) my buying collector cars, j) our retirement savings, k) etc.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/free-market-is-a-disaster-for-sick-americans/
— Why Cook County judge quit after just 142 days – Dan Mihalopoulos  (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Why, in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did I take my Democrat GAO superiors’ early retirement “offer?”  ANSWER: They made it clear to me that they would kill me figuratively, if not literally, if I did not take their “offer.” They hinted that they might let me work another 6 years until I was 55 if I happily agreed to be constructively demoted and work for my subordinates who had far less work experience, education, professional certifications, and professional licenses or b) be transferred to another work group where everything that I had learned auditing federal financial institutions for 9 years and earning a master’s degree that year from IIT in financial markets and trading WOULD GO TO WASTE. They made it clear to me that they would kill me figuratively, if not literally, if I did not take their “offer.”)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/the-watchdogs-why-cook-county-judge-quit-after-just-142-days/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I could have sat in the basement of the county building for years collecting over $200,000 a year in annual salary and benefits, all at the taxpayers’ expense, for doing close to nothing all day,” he says. “But I am unable to do that. That is not who I am as a person.” Cooke, 50, is a Loyola University-educated lawyer. He also owns carwashes and gas stations in Chicago that have city, county and state contracts. That would have posed a “clear conflict of interest” when those government bodies had cases before him in traffic court, he says. Because of those contracts, he says it would have been “a violation of the highest order of the ethical rules governing judicial conduct if I heard traffic court cases” and also if he presided over criminal cases. Generally in such cases, Illinois Supreme Court rules say, “As soon as the judge can do so without serious financial detriment, the judge should divest himself or herself of investments and other financial interests that might require frequent disqualification.” Cooke says he tried unsuccessfully to get his partners to buy him out but doesn’t think he needed to divest himself of his business interests because that would have caused him serious financial harm. He also says his brief stint in traffic court proved difficult because he’s dyslexic. “Using acronyms or reading handwritten cursive or sloppy printing is very difficult for me,” he says. “I had tremendous difficulty reading the handwritten tickets and charges that were the basis of why the defendant were in court.” To run for judge, Cooke had moved from River Forest to an apartment he owns above his law office near the Logan Square CTA train station. That qualified him to run last year in the county’s Sixth Judicial Subcircuit.)

DAILY CALLER
— Thanks, POTUS, For Breaking-Up The Annual Correspondents’ Circle Jerk – Ilana Mercer  (DIERSEN: Operatives and dupes for my critics/opponents are sycophants who focus on currying favor with my critics/opponents.  I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/08/thanks-potus-for-breaking-up-the-annual-correspondents-circle-jerk/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As a newly elected president, Donald Trump was quick to take one of Washington’s institutional pillars down a peg. By snubbing the 2017 annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD), the president deflated what should have been more appropriately called the Sycophants’ Supper. Would that it was the last such supper. For now, the POTUS’s slap to this gathering of sycophants this past weekend will have to do. Like nothing else, the annual Correspondents’ Dinner is a mark of a corrupt politics. It’s a sickening specter, where some of the most pretentious, worthless people in the country—in politics, journalism and entertainment—convene to revel in their ability to petition and curry favor with one another, usually to the detriment of the rest of us in Rome’s provinces. Those gathered at the Annual Correspondents’ Dinner, or its Christmas party, are not the country’s natural aristocracy, but its authentic Idiocracy. No matter how poor their predictive powers, no matter how many times they get it wrong—in war and in peace—the presstitutes always find time for this orgy of self-praise.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Earnings Gap Over U.S. Workers Grows for S&P 500 CEOs – Reuters  (DIERSEN: Few, if any, of my critics/opponents, their operatives, or their dupes complain about this.)
https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2017-05-09/earnings-gap-over-us-workers-grows-for-s-p-500-ceos-union-report
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average S&P 500 chief executive made $13.1 million last year, 347 times more than the average U.S. worker, according to a labor group analysis released on Tuesday, up from 335 times as much in the previous year. The widening pay gap reflects a growing income inequality, according to the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of U.S. labor unions, which posted the latest figure on its website. The group used the survey release to highlight slow U.S. wage growth and the outsourcing of jobs to countries with lower wages. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said compliant corporate directors were at fault for enabling top executives’ pay, even when investor returns lag. “The system is rigged,” Trumka said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. “We think shareholders ought to become more active and lower those (executive pay raises), and that workers ought to get a bigger share of the wealth they produce.” The labor group’s annual study often draws notice as a measure of how U.S. workers largely are not sharing the economic gains of those at the top of the income scale, even as official unemployment remains low. Dissatisfaction among those workers was one reason many backed Donald Trump in last year’s U.S. presidential election.)

In my defense, 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 33.  They would not have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me as being a “bad” federal employee and even worse things if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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 33.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/on-leadership/wp/2017/05/02/interns-at-these-25-companies-make-more-than-the-median-u-s-worker/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Summer is nearing, and workplaces everywhere are awaiting the arrival of this year’s interns to help out on extra projects and shoulder the seasonal load. But among certain companies, they’re likely doing more than getting coffee and making copies. Or at least, they’re being paid that way. According to a new report by the jobs site Glassdoor, the 25 best-paying companies for internships each pay their median summer worker more than $4,500 a month. That amount, if it was paid over the course of a full year, would be north of $54,000, exceeding the median annual pay for a U.S. worker, according to Glassdoor’s own local pay reports ($51,350), and the annual figure calculated from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest weekly earnings data for full-time wage and salary workers ($44,460). Topping the list was Facebook, where the median pay for interns is $8,000 a month, according to the reports from the newest analysis. That’s $1,800 more than the $6,200 the social media giant reportedly paid interns when Glassdoor last issued its last highest paying internship report, in 2014. The next three were Microsoft (which pays a median $7,100 a month), ExxonMobil ($6,507) and Salesforce ($6,450).)

— College Now the Place to Try Pot  Undergrads experimenting in record numbers, same spike not seen among those who skip university life – Dennis Thompson  (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you promote destruction.  I have never used an illegal drug, and I never will.  What has discouraged you from using pot?  For me, it included my outstanding parents who raised me in Crete and as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, my being a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, and the fact that pot is destructive and illegal. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would agree that HAD I BEEN A STONER, I never would have been able to a) buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 24, etc., b) graduate from high school when I was 17 and the in the upper 20% of my class, c) get a score of 24 on the ACT test, d) get accepted by UIC when I was 17, e) earn a bachelor’s degree from NIU when I was 21 and master’s degrees from Loyola when I was 27, from DePaul when I was 31, and from IIT when I was 48, f) buy a new town home when I was 24 and condos when I was 25 and 27, g) get married and buy a home with my wife in Wheaton when I was 29, h) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, i) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, j) earn additional job-related professional certifications when I was 41, 45, 47, and 48, k) become a licensed CPA when I was 33, and l) have a new home built in Wheaton with my wife when I was 35.  QUESTION: Why do politicians promote pot? ANSWER: Stoners are far easier to manipulate/dominate.)

THE BLAZE
— OUTRAGEOUS, TRAGIC, UNACCEPTABLE: Leftist threat promises to ‘drag’ Republicans from city parade. Officials’ reaction is sad. – Dave Urbanski (DIERSEN: Anti-Republicans have always wanted Wheaton to ban Republicans from Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.  Of course, anti-Trumps want Wheaton to ban Republicans from Wheaton’s 2017 Independence Day parade. This year, will Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and Republican organizations surrender to the anti-Trumps and a) NOT have entries in the parade and b) NOT contribute toward sponsoring entries in the parade?  I am going to raise $2,500 from Republicans to sponsor the Wheaton high school bands and the bagpipers in the parade even if all of the $2,500 has to come from me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Portland’s 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade this weekend was supposed to be a community-building event, showcasing local businesses and offering a positive spin on the area’s sometimes negative perception, the Oregonian reported. But there was a problem: The Multnomah County Republican Party was one of this year’s parade participants. At least it was a problem for an “antifa/anarchist” who sent an anonymous email to parade organizers Saturday, the Portland Mercury reported. According to the Mercury, the email sender threatened that if GOP members are allowed to participate in the parade, “we will have two hundred or more people rush into the parade into the middle and drag and push those people out as we will not give one inch to groups who espouse hatred toward LGBT, immigrants, people of color or others. In case the message was not clear to you this is a sanctuary city and state, and we will not allow these people to spread their views in East Portland.” The email, the Oregonian added, also promised: “You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads, so please consider your decision wisely. … This is non-negotiable.” As you’re likely getting used to hearing these days, parade organizers canceled the event Tuesday, fearing it could end in “the type of riots which happen in downtown Portland,” the Oregonian added. Parade officials had contacted police about the situation, but Rich Jarvis, a spokesman for the Rose Festival Foundation, told the Oregonian that police couldn’t provide additional security. So it was bye-bye parade. “The showdown was imminent,” Jarvis told the Oregonian. “They were boxed into a corner, they simply had no choice. In order to avoid a violent outbreak, they had to cancel the parade.” Direct Action Alliance — a group “organized in response to the rise of fascism in America,” KGW-TV reported — was planning to speak out against fascism and white supremacy during the parade, the Oregonian said. But the group’s leader Jacob Bureros told KGW his group wasn’t responsible for the anonymous letter. “Direct Action Alliance and those affiliated with this group did not publish, produce or distribute the letter in question,” Bureros told the station in a statement. “We are members of this community, and like the Republican Party, our members have participated in past parades without incident. “We are disappointed that the parade was canceled,” he told the Oregonian, “… this is an awesome parade.” James Buchal, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Party, told the Oregonian his group didn’t take part in the decision to cancel this Saturday’s parade — in fact, the news surprised him. He told KGW that the election of Republican President Donald Trump has caused a “significant portion of the population to become unhinged.” Buchal also had a message for those who believe GOP members are a bunch of racists and Nazis, the station reported. “I would say wake up, get in the real world,” he said. “We’re a political party. Are you really so stupid that you think we’re going to attract new members by marching with a bunch of Nazis carrying swastikas? What are you, nuts? Get in the real world.” Buchal told the Oregonian that he saw the anonymous, threatening email and that the GOP members still had no plans to back out. “We weren’t willing to just walk away quietly,” he said.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-samuelson-millennials-jobs-adulthood-perspec-0427-jm-20170426-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Growing up isn’t what it used to be. There’s a yawning gap between the end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood: a period when millions of 20-somethings and 30-somethings have many adult freedoms without all the responsibilities. Social scientists have tried — so far in vain — to name this new life-stage, but no one should question its significance. If you have doubts, a new U.S. Census Bureau study should resolve them. It compares the experiences of Americans 18 to 34 now with the same age group in the 1970s. There has been a sea change. “In prior generations, young adults were expected to have finished school, found a job, and set up their own household during their 20s — most often with their spouse and with a child soon to follow,” says the report. No more. . .The transition has been hard on some men. In 1975, only about a quarter of men 25 to 34 had incomes less than $30,000 a year. By 2016, that had risen to 41 percent. (Incomes were adjusted for inflation.) Meanwhile, millions of young women have entered the labor force, and though their median wage remains below men’s, it has increased faster than men’s.)

 

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— Illinois lawmakers gather to discuss legalizing pot – Mike Flannery  (DIERSEN: Those who oppose legalization who attended the hearing included Peter Bensinger, Kathy Gilroy, Judy Kreamer, Ralph Rivera, Thomas Weitzel, and myself. The only legitimate reason to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is to get information a) to help defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and b) to help elect and reelect Republican candidates. If you promote pot, you should not claim to be religious, conservative, or Republican; you should immediately resign from any government or political office that you hold as a Republican and declare yourself to be a Democrat, a Libertarian, or Green. If you promote pot, feel free to unsubscribe to this email. If you are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, please speak out against legalizing pot. Further, please join me in encouraging the 18 members of the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP in opposition to legalizing pot for recreational use in Illinois, SB 316 and HB 2353, and especially the 12 members of its Judicial & Public Safety Committee: Grant Eckhoff, Chair, Robert L. Larsen, Vice Chair, John Curran, Peter DiCianni, Amy L. Grant, Gary Grasso, James D. Healy, Tonia Khouri, Sean T. Noonan, Donald E. Puchalski, Sam Tornatore, and James F. Zay.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Legalization has a downside. Colorado’s now Number One in per capita pot consumption, with side effects like a 48 percent increase in fatal traffic accidents. A former Drug Enforcement Administrator predicted legalization here would cause 75 additional marijuana-related highway deaths each year. “Terrible idea! It’s a disaster waiting to happen in Illinois. It’s gonna increase damage to youth. It’s gonna increase highway accidents and fatalities,” said Peter Bensinger, former director of the DEA.)

USA TODAY
— What happens if you smoke marijuana every day? – Sean Rossman
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/04/20/what-happens-when-you-smoke-marijuana-every-day/100668404/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s what experts say happens when you smoke weed every day: Dr. Stuart Gitlow, a professor at the University of Florida and a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, said marijuana is much stronger than it was years ago, giving a more psychedelic feel rather than a mild sense of intoxication. A small percentage, he said, could have hallucinations and paranoia. However, the vast majority, he said, experience that mild high, which fades after several hours. After days of use, the pot becomes stored in the body’s fatty tissue and THC is gradually released into the bloodstream, meaning a person can experience the effect of the drug around the clock. Daily use, he said, promotes a chronic loss of attention, focus and concentration. Daily users perform at a lower level at jobs and at school. Focus and motivation also decrease, he said. Caron Treatment Center Medical Director Dr. Joseph Garbely said about 15% of cannabis users develop an addiction. Daily users, he said, suffer memory, coordination, and problem-solving issues. For some, it could change the way a brain matures. Smokers who start young, he said, are more susceptible to being a daily user or becoming addicted. . .Other factors need to be considered such as their dosage and the reason a person is using the drug. However, he said marijuana can have impact on how people perform at their job or at school. Withdrawal can occur after a period of long-term repeated use.)

https://illinoisfamily.org/uncategorized/lawmakers-want-put-pot-shops-neighborhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago) and Illinois State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) believe that legalizing marijuana for recreational use will be good for Illinois so they have introduced SB 316 and HB 2353 and, as part of the public relations push, formed the Coalition for a Safer Illinois. Yes, Safer. It’s hard to imagine how adding more drugged drivers on the roads and putting more drugs into the hands of our children could possibly make Illinois safer. The bills before the General Assembly would legalize the possession of up to 28 grams of marijuana and allow facilities to sell marijuana products for adults over 21 and tax and regulate those sales “in a manner similar to alcohol.” “Safer?”  Hardly.  We just have to look to the examples of Colorado and Washington State to see the consequences.  Both states legalized marijuana for recreational use in 2013 and 2012 respectively. Colorado now has more pot shops than Starbucks and McDonald’s combined. . .You, too, can help! Call your state representative today and urge him/her to oppose any attempts to legalize or decriminalize marijuana. CLICK HERE. Your rep will be listed as the last entry on the page, once you fill in your zip code and address. Simply click on his/her name. You may also want to fill out an opposition slip to this bill. The proponents are. A hearing is being held (AT NOON) on Wednesday, April 19th, 2017. It’s easy if you follow these steps.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Jesse Jackson Sr. wants the City of Chicago to act “as an employer of last resort” for those who graduate from Chicago high schools. QUESTION: Who considers the federal government to be America’s employer of last resort, that is, the employer who hires losers?  ANSWER: Those who have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against members of the aforesaid groups.)

MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
— Liberals went off the deep end on immigration  Loose rhetoric from advocates and the left distorted the debate during the Obama years.- Saritha Prabhu
http://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/nation-now/2017/04/17/liberals-went-off-deep-end-immigration-column/100548156/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is hard to have the same feelings, though, toward the 40% of undocumented immigrants who came here on a plane, willfully overstayed their tourist visas, then hunkered down and waited for the next round of legalization. And I have some animus toward our dysfunctional immigration system that punishes (by deportation) undocumented immigrants but completely lets off the hook their partners-in-law-breaking, the businesses and individuals that have used their cheap labor over the years. Fact is, if E-verify had been strictly enforced all these years, Trump’s proposed wall would have been rendered unnecessary.)

http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/illinois-playbook/2017/04/politico-illinois-playbook-rauners-data-mining-219823
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new expense filing reveals how Gov. Bruce Rauner’s campaign is investing heavily in an online mapping technology aimed at influencing voters — and potentially elected officials. The filing shows the Rauner camp’s biggest recent expenditure — more than $338,000 — went to a New York-based company called Project Applecart. (See Rauner’s filing). The technology uses unorthodox ways of collecting data on individuals, including through high school yearbooks and obituaries, according to this explainer: watch here. It identifies a “social anchor” who has links to voters with similar ideals.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout that because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents, we are nasty selfish filthy rich DINKs (dual income, no kids) and even worse things, and therefore, we can and we should pay more real estate taxes.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170414/news/170419281/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A property tax mix-up involving new Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 board member Anisha Patel’s home resulted in her family saving more than $12,000 by paying taxes to the wrong school district since at least 2008. A Daily Herald analysis of property tax records shows the Patel family paid about $44,000 in taxes to Elk Grove Township Elementary District 59 since 2008 but should have paid closer to $56,000 during that time to District 25. Researchers at Cook County Clerk David Orr’s office discovered Patel’s home was wrongly listed within District 59’s taxing boundaries even though Patel sends her children to schools in District 25. The mistake came to light after Patel won election to the District 25 board April 4. Patel and owners of two neighboring homes — and ultimately their property tax bills — are affected by the revelation.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-federal-estate-tax-rate-perspec-0404-md-20170404-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s for the feds to do something like Pennsylvania has done with its inheritance tax: Tax from Dollar One (after deductions for funeral expenses, medical bills and other legitimate debts), but at very modest rates. You see, Pennsylvania only takes 4.5 percent from an estate whose heirs are the decedent’s children, grandchildren or other “lineal descendants.” It exempts spouses from tax altogether and also provides generous exemptions for legitimate family-owned farms and businesses. (The feds, by contrast, currently have a top rate of a confiscatory 40 percent, although as I said, it’s a joke since almost nobody pays it.) Taking a small cut of each transfer of wealth passing upon death makes a lot more sense — and, in my view, is much fairer — than overtaxing working people or continuing to run up the national credit cards, with the whopping bill eventually going to us.)

http://www.gopusa.com/?p=22655
— Persistent patriotism: 92% of Republicans ‘extremely proud’ to be American  (DIERSEN: Yes, but members of the following groups continue to make big progress: anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

— Accountability Act May Finally Allow VA to Fire Porn-watching Employees – Cortney O’Brien  (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 d) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Trump’s most trusted news source – EDDIE SCARRY  (DIERSEN: What is your most trusted source for government and political news and commentary of interest to Illinois Republicans?  Should I write a book about those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on a) discouraging me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) discouraging everyone from reading the emails?)
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trumps-most-trusted-news-source/article/2619218
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After all of President Trump’s attacks and counter-attacks against the news media, one cable show in particular remains pristine in his eyes: the Fox News morning chat show “Fox & Friends.” Trump started the week Monday with what has become his usual praise for the show’s programming. “Such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by Fox & Friends,” Trump said on Twitter at 6:15 a.m., after apparently watching the program and referring to a segment it did on the Obama administration’s surveillance of his transition team. “‘Spied on before nomination.’ The real story.”)

 

NEW YORK TIMES
— How Much People in the Trump Administration Are Worth – LARRY BUCHANAN, ANDREW W. LEHREN, JUGAL K. PATEL and ADAM PEARCE  (DIERSEN: Federal employees should assume that everyone who wants to know your income, your assets, and your debts a) will get the aforesaid information and b) will use that information against you.  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates always used against me information about my income, my assets, and my debts. They stressed the new cars that I bought, the money that I spent on tuition and books, that I graduated from NIU debt-free in 1970, the town home and condos that I bought, my wife’s income and savings, the home that we bought in Wheaton in 1978, the new home that we had built in Wheaton in 1984, the collector cars that I bought, that we have had no debts since the 1990s, the money that we saved for our retirement, etc.)

— Florida’s Vengeful Governor – RANDOLPH BRACY  (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents are extremely vengeful. They blame me for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems.  They continue to do everything that they can to destroy me.  They hint/imply/argue/shout that they will destroy any individual, organization, company, or government that might come to my defense.  I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)

— Wells Fargo Whistle-Blower Wins $5.4 Million and His Job Back – STACY COWLEY  (DIERSEN: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO and a jury had found in my favor, I would have wanted my job back only if GAO got rid of a) all my superiors and supervisors who wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) all my coworkers and subordinates who helped my superiors and supervisors waste my career and force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  That would include virtually everyone who GAO employed in its Chicago Office between 1980 and 1997.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/03/business/04-wells-fargo-whistleblower-fired-osha.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal regulator on Monday ordered Wells Fargo to pay $5.4 million to a former manager who said he was fired in 2010 after reporting to his supervisors and to a bank ethics hotline what he suspected was fraudulent behavior. The bank must also rehire him, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration said. The $5.4 million, intended to cover back pay, compensatory damages and legal fees, is the largest individual award ever ordered through OSHA’s whistle-blower protection program, according to Barbara Goto, the agency’s regional administrator in San Francisco. It is also the first financial penalty against a company that the agency has announced in a news release since President Trump was inaugurated.)

GAO, the U.S. Attorney, the U.S. District Court Judge, the U.S. Senator who appointed the aforesaid, and the U.S. 7th Circuit Appellate Court all made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid.)
