https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200210/together-under-the-big-top-the-theme-of-first-naper-pride-fest–
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Through the city’s Special Events and Cultural Amenities Fund, supported by a citywide food and beverage tax, Naper Pride is receiving $83,536 to offset festival costs. Eva-Genevieve Scarborough thanked city council members for their support during a meeting last week, saying now is the time for the city’s LGBTQ residents to become more outspoken. “For a long time, we have, of necessity, kept a low profile because who we are by nature was considered too controversial,” Scarborough said.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Facebook settles class action, Google is sued – JOHN PLETZ (DIERSEN: Have you ever been a member of a class in a class action lawsuit? I was. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. The members of the class were GAO employees who were White, male, and over age 40. The lawsuit failed because instead of uniting, class members “cut deals” with their Democrat superiors “under the table” to keep their jobs. Class members agreed to help their Democrat superiors get rid of other class members. I should write a book about the class members in GAO’s Chicago office who did everything that they could to get rid of me to keep their jobs. They kept me off audits of IRS. They gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They did not promote me beyond GS-13. They stressed the following to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me: a) I was conservative, b) I was Republican, c) I had avoided the draft, d) I was baptized, raised and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, e) I was 100% German American, f) I lived in Crete 1948-1972, g) I had lived in Wheaton since 1978, h) my wife had a good job and we had retirement savings, i) my wife and I had given up trying to have children, j) we did not adopt, k) we did not become foster parents, l) I had owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car since 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car since 1994, m) my ancestors had been in America since 1844, n) etc. And then, in 1997, when I was 49 years old, they helped my GAO superiors force me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. They do everything that they can to destroy the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party.)

— Andrew Yang blames Facebook for ‘disintegration’ of democracy, proposes making fake political ads illegal (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents have always demanded that I “take responsibility” for what others have posted on their websites, that is, that I should NOT include links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles unless my critics/opponents wrote those articles or bless those articles. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Rather than attacking the authors of articles that they do not like, my critics/opponents attack me. My critics/opponents treat me like they know that no one will come to my defense. My critics/opponents see many examples in which those who could and should have come to my defense, including Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) leaders, but did not. My critics/opponent stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, MTRO webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. My critics/opponents stress those who could and should have come to my defense, but did not.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The fact that they don’t take responsibility for the truth of political ads on their network is beyond me,” said Mr. Yang.)

That, of course, because I am Republican, White, male, non-veteran, and forced to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO as a GS-9 Step 10 in 1980 when I was 31 years old, resulted in their wasting my career and getting rid of me.)

They have lived a “sheltered life.” Few, if any of them have ever worked for hardcore Democrats, worked with hardcore Democrats, or supervised hardcore Democrats like I did 1964-1997. Because of the aforesaid, they fail/refuse to understand/acknowledge that hardcore Democrats use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the aforesaid to destroy Republicans, and especially to destroy Republicans who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— House Republicans Unveil Plan to Boost Merit Pay and Slash Pensions Proposals would help rein in a “swamp monster” of a runaway bureaucracy, lawmakers say. – ERIC KATZ (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use the subjectivity in merit pay a) to retain and promote their employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40.)
https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2020/02/house-republicans-unveil-plan-boost-merit-pay-and-slash-pensions/162948/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: group consisting of three-quarters of House Republicans on Thursday released a new blueprint to overhaul the civil service, calling for easier firing, more merit-based bonuses and cuts to automatic pay raises. The Republican Study Committee and its 146 members praised the federal workforce overall, but said in its Government Efficiency, Accountability and Reform Task Force report that civil servants’ overall compensation is too high. The report repeated a long-running complaint that good applicants are too hard to hire and bad workers are too hard to fire, suggesting that some feds are intentionally undermining the Trump administration. At an event at the Capitol to unveil the reform plan, which featured several members of the committee as well as a man in a “swamp monster” costume, lawmakers said it would serve as a “playbook” for legislative changes once Republicans retake control of Congress.)

— Hatred will reelect Trump – RONALD L. TROWBRIDGE
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/481431-hatred-will-reelect-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The House impeachment hearings have enabled the same rise in public support of Trump. His poll ratings of late have reached the highest level of support in his tenure as president. Polls vary, but his favorable ratings now run anywhere between 46 to 50 percent. This owes to the intense hatred of him by the media and House Democrats. Look at his presidential rallies since the poundings against him in the House: tens of thousands of supporters are showing up, many coming the night before and sleeping on the ground. The hatred has awakened the giant. I don’t much care for Donald Trump’s character because his ego is larger than the Empire State Building. But I will vote for him because I very much like his many achievements as president. Haters don’t want to acknowledge these achievements. They want to focus on what’s wrong with a dream rather than what’s right about it. If you show them a sheet of paper with dots on it, they will focus on the dots rather than on the otherwise full sheet of paper.)

What if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish ancestry? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

DETROIT FREE PRESS
— Man who paid $3M for the first 2020 Corvette Stingray says he’ll never drive it – Jamie L. LaReau
https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2020/01/23/first-corvette-auction-rick-hendrick/4531737002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corvettes have been good to car dealer and racing legend Rick Hendrick. He had his first date with his wife in one nearly half a century ago. Then, in 1976, he sold that same Corvette to pay for his first car dealership in South Carolina. Today, he owns 94 dealerships, 15 of which are Chevrolet stores, from the Carolinas to California (none in Michigan). But the Corvette that Hendrick, 70, bought on Saturday is in a different league. It’s the one of his boyhood dreams. It is the first mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray. “I’ve been going to those auctions for 25 to 30 years and I’ve bought a lot of No.1s at auction for charity,” Hendrick told the Free Press this week. “But nothing like this car. This had bidders from all over the world. It was so much drama. When you have the CEO of General Motors on the stage, that’s a big deal.” Hendrick happens to own one of the largest private collections of Corvettes in the world, including several with VIN number 0001. He is a member of the Corvette Hall of Fame Class of 2015. So it’s fitting that the mid-engine Corvette with VIN number 0001 would wind up in Hendrick’s garage, even at an eye-popping $3 million. The money is donated to the Detroit Children’s Fund.)

The Secretary of State’s failure to competently administer the Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) process in Illinois compromises the integrity of our entire election system. Mistakes are made, but when it comes to voting, it simply is inexcusable that non-citizens voted in Illinois and potentially affected the outcome of elections across the state. Those in the Secretary of State’s Office who allowed this to happen should be terminated from their employment with the State. Public hearings in the General Assembly should commence immediately, and the AVR program should be temporarily suspended until we get answers. Voting is a right and a privilege reserved only for U.S. citizens. The American people need to know that their government is upholding, not undermining, that right.”)

— Illinois State Board of Elections Confirms Non-Citizens Voted in 2018 – JOHN BINDER (ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider statement: “The recent reports of non-citizens voting in Illinois is simply unacceptable. The Secretary of State’s failure to competently administer the Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) process in Illinois compromises the integrity of our entire election system. Mistakes are made, but when it comes to voting, it simply is inexcusable that non-citizens voted in Illinois and potentially affected the outcome of elections across the state. Those in the Secretary of State’s Office who allowed this to happen should be terminated from their employment with the State. Public hearings in the General Assembly should commence immediately, and the AVR program should be temporarily suspended until we get answers. Voting is a right and a privilege reserved only for U.S. citizens. The American people need to know that their government is upholding, not undermining, that right.”)

— Shocker: ‘Nonpartisan’ GAO’s Union Overwhelmingly Supports Dems – Joseph Vazquez (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors and the adverse actions that they took against me. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on past and present members of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter. I would focus on past and present employees of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/joseph-vazquez/2020/01/20/shocker-nonpartisan-gaos-union-overwhelmingly-supports-dems
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) said Jan. 16 that President Donald Trump broke the law when he withheld aid from Ukraine. The union for that “independent, nonpartisan” agency naturally supports Democrats. Just don’t expect the media to tell you about it. The GAO calls itself an “independent, nonpartisan” congressional agency. Liberal outlets, continuing the media-driven impeachment crusade, gave full credence to the GAO’s self-proclaimed “nonpartisan” status. The GAO Employees Organization and its bureaucrats are currently represented by the International Federation of Professionals and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), AFL-CIO & CLC, a labor union that represents workers in both the U.S. and Canada. Here’s the problem: IFPTE’s political action committee gave 100 percent of its political contributions ($36,250) to Democratic candidates in 2016, 89 percent of its political contributions ($61,950) to Democratic candidates in 2018, and currently 75 percent of its political contributions ($26,900) to Democratic candidates for the 2020 electoral cycle. The GAO Employees Organization, “the union and professional association” of GAO bureaucrats, stated in its website that it “is an affiliate of IFPTE, designated as IFPTE Local 1921, named after the year GAO was created.” If your credibility as an agency hinges on you being “independent, nonpartisan,” why do your bureaucrats choose to be represented by a union that’s overtly partisan? Moreover, why are liberal media outlets ignoring this? The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page assistant editor James Freeman wrote a Jan. 17 op-ed acknowledging the IFPTE donations in 2016, and said this raises a “reasonable question about the use of the term ‘nonpartisan’” when referencing the GAO. No kidding? The Los Angeles Times editorial board published an entire puff piece Jan. 17, headlined: “Editorial: Unlike Lev Parnas, the GAO has no credibility problem. It also says Trump broke the law.” In the piece, The LA Times Editorial Board called the agency “resolutely nonpartisan.” No mention of the GAO-IFPTE connection, nor the latter’s apparent political bias was found in the piece. But The LA Times wasn’t the only outlet to ignore this connection. The New York Times, in its Jan. 16 report on the GAO’s assessment of the Trump-Ukraine issue, also touted that “The accountability office is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress.” No mention of the GAO-IFPTE connection in The Times piece. Politico also, in a Jan. 16 report, referred to the GAO as “an independent nonpartisan government watchdog that responds to congressional requests,” without mentioning it’s union’s affiliation with the IFPTE or the IFPTE PAC’s history of giving vastly disproportionate amounts of cash to Democrats. The Washington Post published a piece on Jan. 16, where they were sure to note the GAO’s independence in a sub-headline: “The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office severely undermines a core Trump impeachment defense” [emphasis added]. No mention of the GAO-IFPTE connection in that Post piece, however. Pleading for the president’s impeachment is all that matters at this point for the liberal media. And if haphazardly saying the partisanly-suspect GAO is “independent” and “nonpartisan” does the trick, c’est la vie.)
