GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Do you favor or oppose my reporting the names of Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders who speak at and/or attend Republican events in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County? If you favor my doing that, please let the following know that:

 

DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) Chairman Brian Krajewski, DCRCC Secretary Paul Hinds, Milton Township Republican Central Committee Chairman Chris LeVan, the eight other Republican township party chairmen in DuPage County, and Republican candidates on November 6, 2018 ballots including Peter Roskam, Bruce Rauner and Evelyn Sanguinetti, Erika Harold, Jason Helland, Darlene Senger, Jim Dodge, Mike Connelly, Chris Nybo, Amy Grant, Peter Breen, Darlene Ruscitti, Dan Cronin, James Mendrick, Paul Hinds, Gwen Henry, Grant Eckhoff, Chris Zaruba, Joseph Cantore, Karen Wilson, and Jeff Mackay.

 

My critics/opponents have always vehemently opposed my reporting on political events, and especially my reporting who attends them. Should I attend and report on DCRCC’s Lincoln Day Diner with George P. Bush this Wednesday evening in Oak Brook and suffer the punishment that my critics/opponents will heap on me? My critics/opponents do not want me to know about their events or other activities, do not want me to promote their events or other activities, do not want me to attend their events, and do not want me to report on their events or other activities. At best, they paint me as being “too conservative, that is, that I support too many planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform. They focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate.

 

My critics/opponents want all emails that are sent to me to contain the following disclaimer:

WESTERN JOURNAL
— Facebook Replacing ‘Trending News’ with Pre-Approved Publishers – Liz Angarola (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want Facebook to reject www.gopillinois.com. They would hint/imply/argue/shout that GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are full of fake news. They would stress that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, etc. do not manipulate me, dominate me, or approve of me.)
https://www.westernjournal.com/facebook-replacing-trending-news-with-pre-approved-publishers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In its Friday announcement, Facebook unveiled plans to help users stay informed by testing out a new “Breaking News” label on select news stories. The company has pre-approved 80 “trustworthy and quality” publishers from across the globe to test the feature on their posts in the News Feed. “So we’re exploring new ways to help people stay informed about timely, breaking news that matters to them, while making sure the news they see on Facebook is from trustworthy and quality sources,” Alex Hardiman, Facebook’s head of news products, wrote in the news release. In short, the subtle change will allow news organizations to help users to stay informed about the news they care about most — as long as it’s from one of the organizations Facebook has chosen. While the full list of the 80 publishers currently involved in the test has not been made public, those who have reported their involvement include The Washington Post, ABC News, Recode, The Verge and Vox. In the announcement, Facebook did not disclose the criteria used to choose the 80 publishers, nor did the company reveal whether or not more publishers will be added in the future. “People tell us they want to stay informed about what is happening around them,” Hardiman’s announcement concluded. “We are committed to ensuring the news that people see on Facebook is high quality, and we’re investing in ways to better draw attention to breaking news when it matters most.” Facebook has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers’ newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources. When you share to your friends, however, you greatly help distribute our content. Please take a moment and consider sharing this article with your friends and family. Thank you.)

FREEDOM’S JOURNAL
— EVERYDAY RACISM? – ERIC M. WALLACE, PHD
https://freedomsjournalinstitute.org/latest-news/opinion/everyday-racism-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sometime during the month of April, I was contacted by WGN and asked to be interviewed for a segment they were doing on Everyday Racism. I was told that WGN wanted another point of view. At that point, I should have asked about the point of view to which WGN was seeking an alternative. I might have learned that a particular narrative was being proffered, and anything expressed contrary to that narrative was not going to be fully or fairly treated. I agreed to do the interview not really knowing much about the segment or how long it would be. WGN reporter Gaynor Hall interviewed me for about a half hour. She asked me questions about my background, my politics, and my experiences with racism. I answered all her questions as my wife listened. I also made it clear that I see the world through a biblical worldview. What I mean by that is we are all sinners, and racism is a sin. It is part of our human nature that can’t be legislated away. Racism is an inward thought about the inferiority of other races or harboring negative stereotypes of those races. The overt act, which I said we must be more concerned about, is discrimination. I also mentioned that racism is a secular construct that is not evidenced in Scripture. There is only one race—the human race.)

— Impartial advisers could help Trump restore civil service accountability – PHILIP K. HOWARD (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.)
http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/390358-impartial-advisers-could-help-trump-restore-civil-service-accountability
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Contrary to perceived wisdom about the sanctity of job protection, civil servants did not have tenure until the 1960s. Civil service was designed as a system of neutral hiring; it defanged the spoils system by eliminating political hiring of the rank-and-file. “If the front door [is] properly tended,” as a civil service reformer put it, “the back door [will] take care of itself.” The only protections against termination were a) to guard against politically-motivated firings (the Lloyd-LaFollette Act of 1912) and b) to protect quasi-judicial officers from executive meddling (the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor decision). Otherwise, as the leading Supreme Court decision held, the president had “the exclusive and illimitable power of removal” of executive branch employees. This all changed in 1963 when, as a payback for public union support, President John F. Kennedy in Executive Order 10988 authorized collective bargaining. Congress in 1978 then imposed collective bargaining upon the president as a statutory obligation. The Supreme Court never has been asked to rule on whether Congress had constitutional authority under Article II — which states, “The executive power shall be vested in a President” — to effectively remove executive power over personnel performance. An attorney general’s opinion at the time of original civil service reform stated that Congress could not so restrict the president’s authority. The harm of unaccountable civil service is not lots of shiftless people, but an enervated public culture. No accountability corrodes the spirit of organizations because it eliminates the trust that co-workers will do their share. Energy fades as it becomes clear that it doesn’t matter what you or anyone does. Without accountability, the only other tool for managing personnel is dense rulebooks, so suffocating bureaucracy is layered on top an already-dispirited workplace. By making civil servants “virtually impregnable” to accountability, Congress might as well have put nerve gas into public offices. It didn’t take long for the nerve gas to take effect. A 1989 report by the Volcker Commission on Civil Service found a “quiet crisis” in federal civil service, characterized by “an erosion of performance and morale.” The commission found that seven of 10 federal employees who witnessed fraud, abuse or waste did not even bother to report what they saw. A second Volcker Commission in 2003 found deep resentment at “the protections provided to those poor performers among them who impede their own work and drag down the reputation of all government workers.” The original idea of civil service remains valid — to create a “merit system” where civil servants are hired and retained based of performance. But the current system, as the Partnership for Public Service has concluded, is “a relic of a bygone era.” Attracting good people requires giving them real responsibility, not making them clerks on a bureaucratic assembly line. No one will give officials responsibility, however, unless they can be accountable if they abuse it. Distrust is the main hurdle to reforming civil service. Personnel decisions require judgment, not objective proof. How do you prove who doesn’t work hard, or isn’t cooperative with co-workers, or is mean-spirited? Someone must make those decisions, and Trump’s appointees are unlikely to be trusted. Union officials defend current procedures as being “just a matter of due process.” But due process is an impenetrable barrier because it puts the burden on the supervisor. Can you prove that this person is so much worse than anyone else? In a public service that aspires to A’s, due process protects people who get D’s and F’s. Our quandary is this: No president until Trump has been willing to take on public unions, but Trump lacks the trust to achieve the bold civil service overhaul that’s needed. How do we square this circle?)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that since 1997, when I 49 years old, I have not been able to get a paid job that is appropriate for someone with my education, work experience, professional certifications, and professional license.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/06/03/unemployment-can-go-lower/664879002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But first, before you get too excited, some perspective. A big reason unemployment dropped last month is the portion of Americans working or looking for jobs dipped to 62.7%. That share, known as the labor force participation rate, generally has been falling for years as Baby Boomers retire. Also, many men ages 25 to 54 remain outside the workforce as a result of the opioid crisis and the loss of manufacturing and construction jobs during and after the recession of 2007-09. In other words, many people aren’t officially considered unemployed because they’re not actively looking, although they really would like jobs. “You’re able to pull (the unemployment rate) down because you don’t have as many people participating,” says Diane Swonk, chief economist of Grant Thornton.)
