Are you a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? How soon, if not already, will the anti-Trumps in your precinct demand a town hall meeting with you?  What will they accuse you of doing to help elect Trump?  211 voted for Clinton in my precinct and only 137 voted for Trump.  Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps threaten violence.)

Roskam’s office cancels ACA meeting when reporter shows up – Linda Girardi  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps threaten violence.  Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.  What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes say to your congressman about you?  From the beginning, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always badmouthed me to Roskam.  They hint/imply/argue/shout that if Roskam did not have such a low opinion of me, I would still be 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, etc.  Certain of my nastiest critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that they have tremendous influence over Roskam.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group of 16 constituents that arranged to meet with staff members at the West Chicago district office of U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Wheaton) Wednesday about their concerns with a repeal of the Affordable Care Act were abruptly told they would have to reschedule after staff realized a member of the press was present. Sandra Alexander said she scheduled the meeting weeks ago and was stunned that they were turned away. “We are going to be respectful and see if they will change their minds,” Alexander said. After several minutes, no one returned to speak with the group. The constituents decided to hold the meeting in the lobby without the presence of Roskam’s staff. “I am stunned at what happened,” Alexander said. After several minutes, no one returned to speak with the group. The constituents decided to hold the meeting in the lobby without the presence of Roskam’s staff. “I am stunned at what happened,” Alexander said. Alexander, of Glen Ellyn, said she arranged to meet with Roskam’s district director Lee Campuzano and outreach coordinator Eddie Corrigan. Corrigan told The Beacon-News reporter before the group had arrived that the press is not allowed in private meetings with constituents. “It is a meeting with constituents — we are not shutting down the press,” Corrigan said. Corrigan said the meeting was planned between constituents and high level staff. When the group arrived, another staff member behind a sliding glass window criticized the group for having invited the press and said that there was only to be about eight people at the meeting. “We will reschedule the meeting,” he told the group. Alexander said she was not informed of any conditions of the meeting. She acknowledged that she did inform the congressman’s office that there would be about eight constituents present. Alexander said by Wednesday, she didn’t know how many people to expect and that she did prepare the group that it was likely not everyone would be invited into the meeting. Alexander told the staff member that the reporter did not have to come into the meeting. The staffer walked away, and no one returned to provide any other explanation. “He just ran off,” Alexander said. “They never told me that the media could not be here, and the reporter was willing to leave so that we could have our meeting,” she said. “I am flabbergasted that Peter Roskam and his staff would turn us away,” the constituent said. “They didn’t have the courtesy to listen to us. We are a peaceful group.” “I told him nobody communicated to me that the media could not come. I also told him that the press was willing to leave. This is Freedom of the Press — the media has a right to be here and we have the right to talk with the media. I really don’t understand what happened here today. Shame on Peter Roskam. It is very sad that this is how he feels about his constituents,” Alexander said.)

— Bill proposes elimination of DuPage Election Commission pay – ANDREA EARNEST
http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2017/01/31/bill-proposes-elimination-of-dupage-election-commission-pay/ao1ua53/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Reps. David Olsen, R-Downers Grove, and Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, have sponsored a bill that would amend the Election Code so that election commissioners will serve in an unpaid capacity. This bill would eliminate the $27,500 annual salary paid to the DuPage County Election Commission. Olsen said the initiative was actually brought forward by a constituent in DuPage County. The constituent thought the pay was disproportionate compared to other elected boards. “I thought it would be worthwhile to put that idea forward and include it in the conversation,” he said. “I want to make sure the Election Commission is as responsive as possible to the people of DuPage County.” He said he wanted people to serve on the Election Commission because they care about elections in DuPage County being conducted fairly. “Ultimately, we are trying to ensure that people are on this board for the right reasons,” Olsen said.)

— Things to know about Black History Month – AP (DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs have always used Black History Month to paint Republicans as being racists. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a Black in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a Black in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted Blacks in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a Black in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a Black in 1986, and g) that GAO should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a Black could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34407388/things-to-know-about-black-history-month
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Every president since Gerald R. Ford through Barack Obama has issued a statement honoring the spirit of Black History Month. Ford first honored Black History Week in 1975, calling the recognition “most appropriate,” as the country developed “a healthy awareness on the part of all of us of achievements that have too long been obscured and unsung.” The next year, in 1976, Ford issued the first Black History Month commemoration, saying with the celebration “we can seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” President Jimmy Carter added in 1978 that the celebration “provides for all Americans a chance to rejoice and express pride in a heritage that adds so much to our way of life,” with President Ronald Reagan saying in 1981 that “understanding the history of black Americans is a key to understanding the strength of our nation.” The White House said Trump also plans an official proclamation as well as other events. “President Trump is excited to honor the contributions, culture and rich history of African-Americans in our country,” Trump spokeswoman Omarosa Manigault said.)

Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), all of Lebanese descent, support Trump’s executive order. “I am proud of my heritage and appreciate the contributions of our forefathers, but the future greatness of the United States depends upon the safety and security of Americans today,” Graves said in a statement Monday. LaHood, son of former GOP congressman and secretary of transportation Ray LaHood, said the travel ban “should be viewed as protecting our homeland and its citizens.” “The United States will continue to be a beacon of hope and opportunity for those looking to immigrate to a better way of life, but first and foremost, national security for our American citizens and our homeland must be priority No. 1,” he said in a statement Monday. Neither Graves nor LaHood agreed to be interviewed for this article.)

— Older workers feel on track for retirement. Are they? – Paul Davidson
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/01/31/older-workers-feel-track-retirement-they/97162652/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of that has taken a toll. Twenty-seven percent of the 45- to 65-year-olds surveyed have no retirement savings or investments and another 22% have less than $100,000. About 14% have at least $500,000 and 5% have $1 million or more. By contrast, nearly 50% believe they’ll need at least $500,000 to be comfortable and about a quarter say they’ll need at least $1 million. Rheaume says there’s no one-size-fits-all benchmark for a retirement fund — despite the oft-cited $1 million standard — adding it depends on the retiree’s lifestyle and spending patterns. Still, he says, the number of aging Americans with less than $100,000 “is very concerning.” Not surprisingly, there’s a stark contrast between lower- and higher-income workers.

— Don’t Blame Ivanka and Jared, They Were Observing Shabbat – Margaret Hartmann  (DIERSEN: What do you say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who demonize me, who denigrate me, and who condemn me for putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out on weekends?)
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/01/ivanka-and-jared-dont-blame-us-we-were-observing-shabbat.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But now sources close to the First Couple, Jr. are claiming that they had nothing to do with the discriminatory travel ban or its chaotic rollout – and they even have an alibi. President Trump announced his executive order minutes before the sun set on Friday night, and Vanity Fair reports that Ivanka and Jared were initially unaware of the uproar because they were observing Shabbat. The couple, who are both orthodox Jews, do not use technology or do work from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. Kushner is often portrayed as a moderating force, both on his father-in-law and between the different factions in his orbit. One source suggested that’s why both Saturdays of the Trump administration were especially tumultuous. “He wasn’t rolling calls on Saturday when this happened,” a source said of the day after the inauguration. “To me, that’s not a coincidence.”  Sources tell Vanity Fair that Kushner can’t really be blamed for the other six days of the week either, because his influence over his father-in-law is already waning.)

FEDERAL TIMES
— Forget the hiring freeze, OMB plan could alter the workforce – Carten Cordell (DIERSEN: Republicans downsized GAO during all the almost 18 years that I worked for the agency 1980-1997. Because of that, the Democrats who ran the agency focused on wasting the careers of and getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.federaltimes.com/articles/forget-the-hiring-freeze-omb-plan-could-alter-the-workforce
(FROM THE ARTCLE: The more important thing is the Phase 2, which is the creation of the downsizing plan,” said Don Kettl, a professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “What kind of plan will it be in trying to reduce the size of the federal government through attrition? That really raises two questions: First, does the size of the federal workforce need to be reduced. And the second is, if you are going to reduce it, does it make sense to do it through attrition?” By using attrition as a tool to whittle down the workforce, the Trump administration would be trying to leverage the increasing number of federal employees eligible for retirement to achieve its goals. Some estimates have pegged the eligible number of retirees at 40 percent of the total workforce by 2020, which would accomplish the Trump administration’s goal, but runs the risk leaving a very large skills gap. “The one thing we know about doing it through attrition is that you are never going to end up with the kind of workforce that you need because the people that are leaving aren’t necessarily the jobs you need to replace,” Kettl said. “And the jobs you need to replace aren’t necessarily matched by the people who are leaving.”)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Lawmakers say new agency communications policies violate whistleblower laws – Nicole Ogrysko  (DIERSEN: All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, I blew the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.  In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.  My Democrat GAO superiors retaliated by forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, by not promoting me beyond GS-13, by keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and by 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, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.  If I had not blown any whistles, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.)

— Playing the Trump card in Bolingbrook mayoral race – Mark Brown  (DIERSEN: Who are anti-Trumps punishing the most in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/brown-playing-the-trump-card-in-bolingbrook-mayoral-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Longtime Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar hosted a big fundraiser for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump last fall at the fancy village-owned golf clubhouse known locally as the “Rog Mahal.”  Barely a month later, residents of the southwest suburban village voted 66 percent for Hillary Clinton to 27 percent for Trump. Will County board member Jackie Traynere, a Democrat, hopes to use that apparent political disconnect between Claar and his constituents to bring an end to his sometimes controversial 30 years in office. Since announcing her intention to run against Claar in the April 4 municipal elections, Traynere has sought to make the race in part a referendum on Claar’s support for the new president. “Trump isn’t the reason Roger should go. It really is his management of the village,” Traynere, 54, told me recently in a phone interview from Leavenworth, Kansas, where she was traveling on business in her role as a union organizer for the American Federation of Government Employees. But she adds: “The Trump support really pushed people over the edge.” Claar, just back from Trump’s inauguration, argued Tuesday that traditional party politics don’t belong in municipal elections and that he will gladly run on the record that has made him one of the longest serving mayors in the Chicago area. “I think people are generally pretty happy with what’s going on in Bolingbrook,” said the 71-year-old Claar, who aggressively steered the village’s growth from a population of about 33,000 when he took over to more than 75,000 today. Indeed, it’s a tricky business to inject national politics into a municipal election. Candidates don’t even run under party labels. And voter turnout is usually only a small fraction of what it is in a presidential election. But the fact is that Bolingbrook, an increasingly diverse community in every sense of the word, has been trending Democratic in statewide and national elections for the past decade. That suggests an opening for a Democrat mounting a serious campaign, and Traynere seems to be doing just that. She has hired a professional campaign manager and claims the endorsements of Sen. Dick Durbin and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle among others. Traynere was just re-elected to her third term on the Will County Board and served last year as a Bernie Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Claar starts the election season with a campaign fund of more than $500,000, barely half of what he once kept on hand, but says he has what he needs. “This whole thing is about power. They see this as an opportunity to take over. They want to be in charge of Bolingbrook,” said Claar, who vowed that he will not seek endorsements from any Republicans, including Trump. That doesn’t mean Claar is backing down from his support for Trump, whom he describes as a “breath of fresh air” on the political scene. “He called it like it is. That’s kind of the way I operate,” said Claar. Claar operates as a full-time mayor and pays himself commensurately with a salary of $140,102, not including a $6,000 car allowance. He emphasizes that’s less than Bolingbrook paid the village administrator whose job he eliminated. Claar also is collecting two public pensions: $55,757 from his previous life as a school administrator and $4,532 from his tenure on the Illinois Tollway Authority. His total annual taxpayer compensation of $200,000 looms as a potential campaign issue. Claar resigned from the tollway board in 2000 after the Sun-Times reported he was raising campaign funds from tollway vendors. That was just one of many minor scandals that have dogged Claar through the years, but nothing that has turned the voters of Bolingbrook against him. “I have been vetted on numerous occasions over false accusations,” Claar declared. He predicts Traynere’s emphasis on Trump could backfire. I predict it will make for a more interesting than usual municipal election season.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170124/news/170129496/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A proposal for new digital literacy curriculum and resources has one Elgin school board member concerned about students being indoctrinated. The Elgin Area School District U-46 school board Monday night voted 5-2 to approve curriculum for prekindergarten through 12th grades. One school board member voting against, Jeanette Ward, objected to some of the materials that are part of the digital curriculum. “I will be voting ‘no’ on any curriculum proposal that relies on any text or resource that glorifies communism and denigrates capitalism, deliberately misrepresents Israel’s history and right to live in its own land, presents the pseudoscience of climate change as established scientific fact, or celebrates Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger as a champion for women when, in fact, she was a racist who believed in eugenics, more specifically in killing as many unborn African-American babies as possible,” Ward said.)

More impressive still, the pair has accomplished all of this without any funding, through the use of FOIA requests, pro se litigation, and comments at public government meetings. Due to their exemplary achievements, Allen and Kraft won the State Policy Network’s 2016 Unsung Hero Award, a cash prize of $25,000 that is sponsored by the Vernon K. Krieble Foundation. The award is part of the foundation’s citizenship program, “Lens of Liberty,” which encourages citizens to defend their rights and freedom.)

 

THE HILL
— Trump clamps down on federal agencies – JORDAN FABIAN  (DIERSEN: During the 1980s and 1990s, Newt Gingrich clamped down viciously on GAO and on other legislative branch agencies.  If Gingrich had not done that, the Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 would not have forced me to retire on September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old, and they would not have taken other adverse actions against me before that.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— An idea for $60 billion per year in federal savings – Bob Fitzhenry  (DIERSEN: Does Fitzhenry approve or disapprove of the federal government’s wasting my career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old?  Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH the federal government’s wasting my career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/01/an_idea_60_billion_per_year_in_federal_savings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I dusted off an old idea of mine because of President Trump’s freeze on federal hiring, his tasking to create an attrition plan, and a statistic I read yesterday in a Washington Post article by Juliet Eilperin.  Eilperin reported that in the federal workforce, “there are nearly three times as many employees over age 60 as under age 30.”  Yikes.  That’s no way to run a railroad. The idea I’d roughed out gave a way to cut back the federal workforce by tempting people to retire or move on earlier than they would otherwise.  Depending on whom I’d run the idea past, I’d hear that it’s fantasy, fantastic, or the best sense of fantastical. The cliché to address what I’d like to see happen is, “You’ve got to spend money to make money.”  What if we spent a bunch of money offering departure incentives high enough to entice 750,000 feds to resign or retire?  Then, how about filling one third of the vacated positions with veterans, graduates, and the un- and underemployed?  We’d be spending billions to save billions more every year, and to get 250,000 people into careers they and the country need them to have.)

FED SMITH
— I Do Solemnly Swear That I Will… – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the Constitution of the United States required them to get rid of federal employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. It is called Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2017/01/18/i-do-solemnly-swear-that-i-will/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: People in the private sector do not take an oath of office when they get a job. They get an offer, report to work, and that’s it. For federal employees it is different. Reading so many articles about the inauguration that refer to the president-elect taking the oath of office on the 20th of January got me thinking about oaths and what they mean. I have taken that oath of office as a civil service employee. Raising your right hand and swearing to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” is not something most people take lightly. It is a solemn oath and it means something to most people who take it.)

http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/donald-trumps-childhood-home-heads-to-auction/641550673
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The home has previously been listed on the market for as much as $1.65 million. The 2,500-square foot house is located in Jamaica Estates, a wealthy neighborhood in Queens. It has four full bathrooms, a library, finished basement and a two-car garage. To participate in the auction, potential bidders must pay $20 for due diligence information that includes a title report, the terms of sale, and a copy of the purchase and sale agreement. According to Misha Haghani, owner of Paramount Realty USA, the home was built by Trump’s father. “A property as prominent as this has intangible value that goes beyond just the real estate — it’s like art and that’s why an auction is the perfect platform in which to sell it,” he said in the December press release. In September, The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon asked the then-presidential nominee about the home being sold. “That is where I was born,” Trump said when Fallon showed him a photo of the home. “I had a really good childhood; oh that’s sad to look at that, I want to buy it.”)

— Trump team says ethics official too ‘political’ – AP  (DIERSEN: Government is nasty.  Politics is nasty.  Democrats are nasty. Democrats are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.  If you are a Republican, sooner or later, Democrats will hint/imply/argue/shout that you are unethical.  During the 1970s, my Democrat IRS superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my education deductions and my partial day per diem claims were unethical.  During the 1960s, my Democrat Post Office superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my sick leave requests were unethical.)

— Trump’s feud with John Lewis echoes a long, difficult relationship with African Americans – Janell Ross and Vanessa Williams  (DIERSEN: Democrats continue to be furious that they lost the Civil War.  Ever since the Civil War, Democrats have shouted at Blacks that Republicans have caused all the problems that Blacks have had, that Republicans are causing all the problems that Blacks have, and that Republicans will forever cause all the problems that Blacks will have.  Democrats want Blacks to hate Republicans.  Lewis is a product of the aforesaid.)

John Lewis’s books sell out following his attack on Donald Trump.  If you want to make lots of money from members of the following groups, you attack 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, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.
