KANKAKEE TIMES
— How much do public servants get paid in Kankakee County? (DIERSEN: When did you first start earning more that $100,000/year in today’s dollars? In 1988, when I was 40 years old, GAO paid me $100,917 (GS-13 Step 3) in today’s dollars. I had worked for GAO for almost 9 years. Before that, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned a master degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN NEWS
— WHY THE PRIVATE SECTOR DOES A BETTER JOB THAN THE GOVERNMENT – Kent Kellar (DIERSEN: At least since the 1960s, the federal government’s top priority has been to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, and/or younger. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. 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.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Trump call to cut Congress’ perks an about-time moment – Cheryl K. Chumley (DIERSEN: Many millions 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 the aforesaid.)

— Campus Political Fights Come Home for the Summer – DANA GOLDSTEIN (DIERSEN: When you were earning your bachelor’s degree, did your Democrat professors succeed in turning you into a “good little Democrat?” Mine did not. I majored in business at UIC 1966-1968 an at NIU 1969-1970. I commuted to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete 1966-1968. I came home weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969 to work at the Park Forest Post Office. I worked full-time at the Park Forest Post Office during the summer of 1969 like I had done the summers of 1967 and 1968. My Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign at end of the summer of 1969. My father died suddenly in October 1969.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Excess At the Top The CEO Pay Machine – Philip Delves Broughton (DIERSEN: Trump’s lousy $400,000 salary is only 3.25 times what my $122,991 GS-13 Step 10 pay is in today’s dollars.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-better-way-to-reward-ceos-1501542185
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1978 the average chief executive at a large company was paid 26 times more than the average worker. By 2014, depending on your method of calculation, he was paid 300 to 700 times more. It has become standard for a CEO to make more than $10 million a year, and a few make more than $100 million. These aren’t founders or major shareholders but hired guns, managers playing with house money. It is not like this everywhere. In the U.K., the fifth largest economy in the world, the pay ratio of CEO to average worker is 84 to 1. In Japan, the third largest, it’s 16 to 1.)

MADISON
— Reince Priebus brought it on himself – John Nichols (DIERSEN: The federal government would have promoted into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 a) if I had been a Democrat, b) if I had painted myself a being a yes-man, c) if I had helped my superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, d) if I had not complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, reverse discrimination, or retaliation, and e) if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged the federal government with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Millennials want their dream home now – not in 20 years – Angus Raine (DIERSEN: Where are you on the “property ladder?” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been are filled with envy. They are furious a) that I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 in 1972, that I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago when I was 25, and that I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago when I was 27 and b) that my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton when I was 29 and that we had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton when I was 35.)
http://moneymag.com.au/millennials-dream-home/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I bought my first home in the late 1980s, I didn’t care that it was ramshackle, I just wanted to get my foot on the property ladder. Now you hardly ever hear the term ‘property ladder’, and millennials want their dream family home now – not in 20 years. But that’s how long it took me to progress through a series of houses until I bought my current family home. I’m calling for a cultural shift: we need to return to viewing property ownership as a long-term, gradual strategy. So, if you’re a first-home buyer, just how do you climb the property ladder? First, you might need to rethink your expectations of a first home. Buying in the best location you can afford is more important than getting the perfect home immediately. And while many people think that the next logical step is to buy a bigger house, you are better off moving to progressively better locations. That will build value faster than graduating to bigger homes in the same suburb and will take you to the next rung on your journey up the property ladder.)

— Adam Andrzejewski’s commitment to transparency doesn’t extend to his own biography – Kim Janssen (DIERSEN: Based on this, the Chicago Tribune wants me to provide even more details on why I am no longer 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, a GAO employee, an IRS employee, etc.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-100k-forbes-0728-chicago-inc-20170727-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He’ll surely be happy, then, to clear up any confusion over his 2010 Republican primary campaign, which he describes in his biography on his organization’s website as ending in “a close loss on Election Day.” Andrzejewski came in fifth, out of six declared candidates, with 14 percent of the vote. “It was a very credible campaign,” he told Inc. “I only lost by 40,000 votes.” Technically, it was 44,497.

Who would have come to my defense – a) Republicans who have represented me in the U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate, Illinois General Assembly, Illinois Senate, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, my precinct and/or b) the Republican Party, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), my representative on the IRP State Central Committee, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee? Provably none of the aforesaid because they overwhelmingly reject the Rutan decision (http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html) and they promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— What Illinois stands to gain from losing huge Foxconn factory- GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What did I “gain” by taking my Democrat GAO superiors’ early retirement “offer” on September 30, 1997 when I was 49 years old? ANSWER: No longer having to come to work and enduring their tremendous efforts to get rid of me. QUESTION: What did I lose? First, the difference between my salary ($122,991/year in today’s dollars) an my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $50,856/year) or $72,135/year in today’s dollars until I would taken regular retirement and then the difference between what my CSRS pension would have been (much more than $50,856/year) and $50,856/year for the rest of my life. So far, during the last 238 months, I have lost $1,430,856 in today’s dollars, that is, what my salary would have been ($2,439,500) minus the CSRS pension payments that I have received ($1,008,644). But the lost money is nothing compared to the ammunition that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. They use my being forced to take early retirement to hint/imply/argue/shout that I must be a racist, a sexist, a bigot, or even far worse things.)

DAILY CALLER
— IRS Continues To Hire Employees With Performance Problems – Chuck Ross (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage.

To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors a) got rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, b) disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974 (SEE: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866), c) did not promote me beyond GS-12, and d) disallowed my education deductions in 1978. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates dismissed/belittled the fact that a) I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980.)

But that was a) because my father had died suddenly at age 47 in October of 1969, b) because my mother had never attended high school and she had never earned income, c) because I had applied for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support them, and d) because the job that I had gotten working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights did not pay that much. In June of 1971, I started working for IRS at the GS-7 level (currently $44,853/year), and in June of 1972, IRS promoted me to GS-9 (currently $54,864/year).)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170722/dupage-county-board-member-appointed-to-state-senate-vacancy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under state election law, a new member of the Republican party must be appointed to the DuPage County Board within 60 days of Curran’s resignation, which he plans to officially submit Monday, he said. Residents of District 3, which includes parts of Downers Grove, Westmont, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, Woodridge, Clarendon Hills, Darien and Willowbrook, can apply to at Dupageco.org/countyboard/dist3map. The newly appointed board member will serve the remainder of Curran’s term, which expires Nov. 30, 2018. County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said in a news release Saturday that he will fill Curran’s vacancy until an appointment is made. “While we will truly miss his work and his dedication to DuPage County, we are happy to see him moving on to bigger challenges,” Cronin said. “I’m confident Springfield is gaining an asset who will fight to protect residents of Illinois.” Anyone seeking appointment to the county board should email Cronin at Dan.Cronin@dupageco.org with a resume and letter, not exceeding 300 words, outlining their interest.)

— DREAM Act divisive, elitist – RUBEN NAVARRETTE JR. (DIERSEN: From what I see, to curry favor with Democrats, employers want to gloat that they hire illegals, and that to make way for them, they do not hire citizens of America and that they get rid of citizens of America.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: What bothered her was the insistence on going to college. What about those kids who go to vocational school or go straight to work? They didn’t deserve legal status? Someone in Washington was playing God again, deciding who stayed and who went according to a narrow definition of positive behavior. Why stop at attending college? Why not demand that beneficiaries of the DREAM Act not accept any public assistance, or abstain from smoking, or never fall into debt or not be unemployed for more than six months at any point in their lives? The new bill from Graham and Durbin is a slight improvement because it covers those who “work lawfully for at least three years.” But it also has a new requirement that recipients speak English and know U.S. history. Great idea. But shouldn’t we start by demanding those things from native-born U.S. citizens? These moral judgments are all subjective and awfully condescending. They’re all about what Graham, Durbin, and the other senators who will eventually support their bill require to make them feel comfortable with overlooking the fact that these young people are in the country illegally. Welcome to this week’s episode of the game show: “Good Immigrant, Bad Immigrant.” If Graham and Durbin want to make themselves useful in the immigration debate, they should stop treating immigrants like they’re some kind of social science experiment. Instead, they should draft a bill that would eventually legalize most of the 11 million people who are in the country illegally — whether or not they went to college or speak English. It’s no wonder that so many DREAMers experience a version of “survivor’s guilt” because they were tossed a life preserver while their parents and siblings are left to drown. All this talk about how the Trump administration is dividing families. You know what really divides families? The DREAM Act.)

— Democrats struggle with whether to woo back whites or broaden coalition – Joe Garofoli (DIERSEN: I predict that to get elected, Democrats will strengthen their promise that if elected, they will use government rid of once and for all individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

THE NATIONAL
— Abrupt resignation of Trump’s press secretary a ‘symptom of an administration in crisis’ – Rob Crilly (DIERSEN: My abrupt forced retirement from GAO in 1997 when I was 49 years old was a symptom of a government that puts above all else a) hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, and/or younger and b) getting rid of its employees who are Republican, and especially Republicans who are White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Bernie Sanders to speak Aug. 30 in Aurora about teen-focused book – Marie Wilson (DIERSEN: What does Sanders think of you and think of what you did when you were young? From what I see, Sanders would demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being selfish and undeservedly rich because I bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, a new Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 and I paid for all my college expenses and graduated debt-free in 1970 with money that I earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers 1962-1964; washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; and working on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970.)

— Kudos to Kellogg’s – Editorial (DIERSEN: I lived in Crete 1948-1972. If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, their dupes would hint/imply/argue/shout that during those years, Crete was full of rich racists, rich sexists, rich bigots, and rich even worse things. They would stress that during those years, very few depended on government, on charity, or on welfare and that Crete was overwhelmingly White, German-American, Lutheran, conservative, and Republican.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20170722/the-soapbox-daily-herald-editors-offer-brief-thoughts-on-suburban-topics-in-the-news
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Each week the Northern Illinois Food Bank feeds more than 71,500 people in 13 counties. It relies on hundreds of people, including volunteers. This week about 250 people from Kellogg’s pitched in to pack food. Kellogg’s also donated $10,000 toward hunger relief programs. Yet another ray of sunshine keeps the food bank thriving. I should write a book about the leading Crete-haters in Wheaton and in Glen Ellyn.)

ANSWER: They would stress that they 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.)

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).)

— Rauner Sending A Message With Staff Shakeup – SEAN CRAWFORD (DIERSEN: Since the 1960s, the Democrats who run the federal government have used their hiring, retention, and promotion policies to send a message, namely, that if you are not a Democrat, a minority, a female, or young, do not seek a federal job or try to hold on to a federal job. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. 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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “President Trump’s Twitter account has become an important source of news and information about the government, and an important public forum for speech by, to, and about the president,” the lawsuit reads. “In an effort to suppress dissent in this forum, defendants have excluded — blocked — Twitter users who have criticized the president or his policies. This practice is unconstitutional, and this suit seeks to end it.”)

— DeSantis introduces bill to provide greater transparency over govt. pensions – Bryan Renbaum (DIERSEN: Andrzejewski wants to know for federal retires like me: “Who is retired, where they worked, who they are, how much they got, how long they worked, how much they paid into the system.” Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension. Since 1997, when I was 49 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me for collecting a $50,856 CSRS pension in today’s dollars. While I worked part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969, for IRS 1971-1980, and for GAO 1980-1997, I paid into the CSRS $70,932 in yesterday’s dollars (7% of my salary). In today’s dollars, my ending GAO salary was $122,991. So far, in today’s dollars, CSRS has paid me $1,008,644 (238 months X $4,238). Andrzejewski should acknowledge that if my Democrat GAO superiors had not been allowed/encouraged to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I might still be working for GAO, still paying 7% of my salary into the CSRS, and CSRS would not have paid me anything. I should write a book about those who allowed/encouraged my Democrats GAO superiors to force me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997. They certainly did not side with me in Diersen v. GAO.)
http://www.talkmedianews.com/featured/2017/07/12/desantis-introduces-bill-provide-greater-transparency-govt-pensions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) told TMN Wednesday that today he will formally introduce legislation aimed at providing greater transparency over government-funded pensions. “Let’s open the books on the federal pension data. Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent and let’s just put that information out there for public consumption,” DeSantis said. “It’s very difficult, I think, to be opposed to that concept and so I think we’ll probably get pretty strong support,” he added. The Taxpayer-Funded Pension Disclosure Act of 2017 will be reviewed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Adam Andrzejewski, founder and CEO of the Illinois-based nonprofit taxpayer watchdog group Open the Books, spoke alongside DeSantis and said his organization worked with the congressman’s office for three months to help craft the legislation. Andrzejewski said passage of the measure would constitute a landmark victory for transparency advocates. “For the first time it would make subject to the Freedom of Information Act the release of: Who is retired, where they worked, who they are, how much they got, how long they worked, how much they paid into the system – so we can finally bring hard data to the issues of pensions,” he explained. Andrzejewski said research by Moodys suggests that taxpayers on average foot the bill for about $150 billion per year in federal pension funds and that the number increases to about $3.5 trillion when unfunded liabilities are considered. “The amount of money that goes out in terms of retirement annuities each year dwarfs the budget of the state of Texas or dwarfs the budget in the state of Florida each year,” he explained.)

Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) hate cars, and especially cars made by General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, b) hate those who own/owned cars made by General Motors, Ford, or Chrysler, and c) hate unions and past, present, and future union members.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-township-lawsuit-dismissed-st-0630-20170628-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois Appellate Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Naperville Township supervisor and two board trustees by the now-former highway commissioner over their decision to slash his budget. The suit was filed in 2016 by then-Highway Commissioner Stan Wojtasiak against then-Supervisor Rachel Ossyra and then-trustees Janice Anderson and Kerry Malm, charging their 2016 action to cut his budget by 21 percent — $540,000 — was retaliatory and politically motivated. In their decision, appellate Justices Kathryn Zenoff and Joseph Birkett ruled Wojtasiak’s case was moot because all of the officials named in the complaint are out of office and the township’s 2016-17 fiscal year concluded March 31. Anderson was elected to the DuPage County Board, and Wojtasiak, Ossyra and Malm lost their seats to Democratic candidates in the spring primary. A 2017-18 budget was adopted recently by the new board.)

— The Republicaid Party? Some GOP Senators are shrinking from entitlement reform. – Editorial
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-republicaid-party-1498690805
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the Senate health-care bill delayed for now, the conservative and more centrist GOP wings need to bridge a philosophical gap to succeed. The outcome of this debate will define what the Republican Party stands for—and whether the problems of America’s entitlement state can ever be solved. The biggest policy divide concerns the future of Medicaid, and here the problem is the moderates who are acting like liberals. Despite their campaign rhetoric, some Senators now want to ratify ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion as an unrepealable and unreformable welfare program. Most of the Affordable Care Act’s insurance coverage gains have come from opening Medicaid eligibility beyond its original goal of helping the poor and disabled to include prime-age, able-bodied adults. The federal-state program has become the world’s single largest insurer by enrollment, covering more people than Medicare or the British National Health Service. Total spending grew 18% in 2015 and 17% in 2016 in the 29 states that expanded, and the nearby chart shows the growth of overall federal Medicaid spending under current law and without reform.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-pride-parade-preview-20170618-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Los Angeles, the city’s decades-old pride parade was replaced with a “resist march,” and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., led chants to impeach the president. “There are so many issues on the front burner right now, and I think you’ll see that reflected,” said Richard Pfeiffer, Chicago’s Pride Parade coordinator. “Since the change in Washington in November, LGBT people and others have been marginalized verbally and in other ways. There’s anger over that.” Pfeiffer said more than 250,000 people are expected along the parade route, and nearly 1 million could move in and out of the area surrounding the parade throughout the day.)
