— Facebook and Twitter are smart enough to know they’d be terrible at fact-checking political ads – Megan Mcardle (DIERSEN: What qualifications do my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have to be fact checkers? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $98,198-$127,654, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,279-$93,592. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

DAILY HERALD
— Panel: Legal pot won’t affect workplace impairment policies – Richard Klicki (DIERSEN: Of course, pot pushers will file lawsuits for stoners, that is, for impaired employees, against employers. Pot pushers will argue that stoners, that is, impaired employees, have the “right” to be stoned. I should write a book about my GAO superiors and supervisors and their “three-martini lunches.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-martini_lunch They focused on destroying their employees like me who opposed their “three-martini lunches.”) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20191106/panel-legal-pot-wont-affect-workplace-impairment-policies
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Though the new law decriminalizes casual use of marijuana, the panel noted employers can still maintain policies that prohibit use of marijuana or other substances to maintain job and workplace safety, and companies that deal with federal contracts can still adopt no-tolerance policies since the federal government classifies marijuana as a top-level narcotic. Attorney Ross Molho, a partner with Clingen Callow & McLean LLC in Lisle, stressed that while employers cannot restrict marijuana use outside of work, they still have the right to maintain safe workplaces, which includes establishing policies that prohibit impairment at work. “Employees have the right to use this substance, but they don’t have the right to come to work impaired from this substance,” Molho said. “In some sense, we need to think about it like tobacco or alcohol.”)

— Views differ on getting things done under ethics cloud – Bernard Schoenburg (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Have you been put under an ethics cloud? In 1974, when I was a 25 year old GS-11 (currently $68,897/year) IRS employee, I was one of an extremely few IRS employees who was not a Democrat, minority, female, veteran, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. My IRS superiors were under tremendous pressure a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. To get rid of me, and to retaliate against me for complaining about political affiliation discrimination and reverse discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors put me under an ethics cloud. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my travel vouchers were fraudulent. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/463866 Of course, that ended whatever IRS career that I might have had. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: In Virginia Suburbs, Republicans Sound a Lot Like Democrats The off-year state legislative elections next Tuesday will test whether Republicans can appeal to anti-Trump voters by running on issues that Democrats usually espouse. – Reid J. Epstein (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. If you do not defend/advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/us/politics/virginia-elections-republicans.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Glenn Davis seeks a fourth term in Virginia’s House of Delegates, he is going door to door with campaign literature touting his role in expanding Medicaid, his efforts to address gun violence and his support for L.G.B.T.Q. anti-discrimination legislation. There’s a photo of him with the state’s Democratic governor, Ralph Northam. Yet Mr. Davis is a Republican. He voted with his party to adjourn a special legislative session on gun control that Mr. Northam called this summer — 90 minutes after it began. When he campaigned for lieutenant governor in 2017, he said he was “running to do exactly what Donald Trump did in Washington.” Now, he is among a coterie of Republicans who are campaigning on issues long identified with Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s elections for the Virginia legislature, shifting away from a Republican base that in the age of Trump can no longer win suburban elections on its own. “We have a little bit of a messaging issue, we do,” Mr. Davis said in an interview this week.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/business/economy/long-term-unemployed.html
— Americans Trust Local News. That Belief Is Being Exploited. A growth in impostor local news that promotes ideological agendas. – Brendan Nyhan (DIERSEN: Diersen fully discloses everything about him and about his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Of course, Diersen’s critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use that information against Diersen and against his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Diersen should write a book about his critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Diersen should focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.) 
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/upshot/fake-local-news.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of them originate with a company called Locality Labs L.L.C., which created similar networks of questionable local websites in Illinois and Maryland, and state and local business and legal sites around the country. There’s little information about these sites. They typically lack mastheads, local addresses and clear disclosure of their ownership or revenue sources. Voters could easily become confused about the origins of information from these seemingly innocuous local-sounding outlets. In 2016, for example, websites in the Illinois network interviewed Republican candidates favored by a conservative state political committee, which then paid to mail print newspaper versions of the sites to voters without identifying them as political advertising.)

DAILY HERALD
— It wasn’t democracy that forced dangerous pot option on communities – Barbara Shafer (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, if you are an activist, candidate, elected official, party leader, major donor, political consultant, religious leader, education leader, medical leader, etc. who claims to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, you should be doing everything that you can to stop the sale of pot in your municipality and in the unincorporated areas of your county.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20191030/it-wasnt-democracy-that-forced-dangerous-pot-option-on-communities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Heather Steans couldn’t be more wrong, answering the question (re: cannabis legalization HB1438) “Is democracy a bad thing?” by stating the bill’s co-authors “don’t think so.” It wasn’t democracy. It was representation gone awry with 104 Illinois legislators speaking on behalf of 12.8 million Illinoisans. With 60 out of 104 legislators having received a total of $630,000 in marijuana lobbyist money in 2017 and 45 voting yes, is it interesting? Yes. Comped? Maybe. Democracy? No. Negotiation and compromise were missing, too, with a 600-page amendment appearing in an unrelated shell bill two days before the General Assembly’s end of session. No public debate. No referendum. No transparency. No democracy. Question: Was HB1438 a bad thing? The real question is “Who ends up paying the price: you, your kids, businesses, communities, teachers, or law enforcement?” Other states teach us the answer: All of the above. The co-authors claim, “Our intent was not to impose cannabis dispensaries on every community.” Will it end up that way? Washington State began with mandated medical, offered opt-out recreational, but finally allocated retail licenses to communities.)

How rich were your parents when you were young? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma.

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?

https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/10/29/social-security-wep-fairness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Social Security Administration released its analysis of the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act of 2019 (H.R. 141) at the end of September. The legislation would provide a break to older Americans (and their spouses) from the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) which reduces the size of the checks coming from Social Security when a person collects a pension from a job not covered by Social Security. The actuaries at the Social Security Administration estimate that this relief will cost the general taxpayer $33 billion over the next 10 years.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 2016, then-candidate Trump was virtually run out of Chi-Town in the wake of a highly touted campaign event. Trump was set to appear before 10,000-strong at a “Make America Great Again” rally at the UIC Pavilion on the near West Side. Inside, the stadium was packed with rowdy masses of supporters inside. Uber-angry masses of protestors marched outside to decry what they viewed as a racist, xenophobic and misogynist campaign. Shortly before Trump’s scheduled appearance, his campaign cancelled, citing safety concerns. Fraidy cat.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Former White House chief of staff John Kelly says he warned Trump on impeachment – AP (DIERSEN: No one has ever accused me of being a yes-man. If I had been a yes-man, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. Yes-men help the federal government get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-bc-us–trump-kelly-20191027-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump ‘s former chief of staff, John Kelly , says he advised the president not to fill the job with someone who wouldn’t be honest with him and provide a check on his impulses because he would end up being impeached. “That was almost 11 months ago, and I have an awful lot of, to say the least, second thoughts about leaving,” Kelly told the Washington Examiner. “It pains me to see what’s going on because I believe if I was still there or someone like me was there, he would not be kind of, all over the place.” “I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘yes man,’ someone who won’t tell you the truth — don’t do that. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached,” Kelly recalled in an interview at the Sea Island Summit, a political conference hosted by the Examiner. Kelly said he does not believe the president would be in his current predicament if he had stayed as chief of staff. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement of her own Saturday: “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President.” Trump pushed back on Kelly’s comments in a statement: “John Kelly never said that, he never said anything like that. If he would have said that, I would have thrown him out of the office. He just wants to come back into the action like everybody else does.”)

http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/173406
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In August 2019, the Economic Policy Institute reported that, in 2018, the average pay of CEOs at America’s 350 top firms hit $17.2 million―an increase, when adjusted for inflation, of 1,007.5 percent since 1978. By contrast, the typical worker’s wage, adjusted for inflation, grew by only 11.9 percent over this 40-year period. In 1965, the ratio of CEO-to-worker’s pay stood at 20-to-1; by 2018 (when CEOs received another hefty pay raise and workers received a 0.2 percent pay cut), it had reached 278-to-1. An AFL-CIO study, released in June 2019, had similar findings. Examining compensation at Standard & Poors 500 companies, the labor federation reported that average CEO pay in 2018 had increased by $5.2 million over the preceding 10 years. This resulted in an average CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 287-to-1. These figures, of course, are only averages, and at numerous major corporations, the economic gap between boss and worker is much greater. According to the AFL-CIO, the CEO-to-worker pay ratio at Walmart (America’s largest private employer) is 1,076 to 1, at Walt Disney Company 1,424-to-1, at McDonald’s 2,124-to-1, and at Gap 3,566-to-1. At 49 S&P 500 firms, noted an Institute for Policy Studies report, half the work force―that is, 3.7 million employees―received wages below the official U.S. poverty line for a family of four.)

DAILY HERALD
— As Trump comes to town, which suburban Republicans will join the bandwagon? – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191026/as-trump-comes-to-town-which-suburban-republicans-will-join-the-bandwagon
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some normally easy-to-reach Republican state representatives and senators didn’t return calls asking if they endorse Trump’s reelection or were buying tickets for the fundraising luncheon Monday starting at $2,800 a person. But Sen. Dan McConchie, a conservative Hawthorn Woods Republican, said he would be in Springfield during Trump’s Chicago visit. When asked if he supported Trump’s reelection, McConchie said, “No comment.” Rep. Allen Skillicorn of East Dundee, however, was all in. “Most politicians make promises with no intention to actually fulfill them,” Skillicorn said. “President Donald Trump is different. He has delivered on most of his promises. I’m confident his popularity has gone up in the suburbs versus 2016.” State Sen. Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove said he supports Trump’s reelection but is not attending Monday’s events. . .”If they’re looking at a general election in a swing district, people need to be really careful how they embrace (Trump),” former Illinois Republican Senate Leader Christine Radogno said. Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider of Bartlett, who will be attending on Monday, was optimistic local Republicans “will support the president at almost a 95 percent rate.” Conservative state Rep. David McSweeney of Barrington Hills intends to back the president over any possible Democratic nominee, but he won’t be at Monday’s Trump events. “I agree with President Trump on cutting taxes and deregulation. I don’t agree with him on everything. For example, I have some disagreements with him on trade and foreign policy,” McSweeney said, clarifying he opposes the president’s abrupt decision to pull troops from the Kurdish occupied area of Syria. Typically when presidents visit, they’re surrounded by top party officials such as governors, senators and congressional representatives. That won’t happen this week with Illinois’ Democratic governor, U.S. senators and suburban House members, although former state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton hopes to change some of that party balance. Republican Ives, of Wheaton, who is running in the 6th Congressional District against first-term U.S. Rep. Sean Casten, supports Trump’s reelection but has no plans to go to his events on Monday. Asked about grading his job so far, “it depends on the policy or issue,” said Ives, who ran for governor in 2018. Trump might not be the only choice for Illinois voters in the March primary. Former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh of Mundelein is running for the Republican nomination, although with just $115,000 in his coffers it’s a long shot, said Republican strategist Aaron Del Mar. The Palatine Township Republican committeeman, a friend of Walsh’s, is not only solidly in the Trump camp, but he’s selling tickets for the fundraiser. “I’m not a 100 percent for everything the president says,” Del Mar said.)

Yes-men help the federal government get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)

FORBES
— The Bitter Truth About Why People Fail To Succeed In Their Jobs – Terina Allen (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents falsely deny that while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, that virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My critics/opponents falsely deny that while I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency was almost always under promotion freezes, that it shrank from about 6,000 employees to about 3,000 employees, and that it suffered tremendous budget cuts during the mid-1990s. My critics/opponents falsely argue that my superiors in the federal government were never under pressure from Democrat politicians a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females or b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. My critics/opponents falsely dent that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. My critics/opponents falsely argue that my Democrat superiors in the federal government did not take adverse actions against me a) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation or b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/terinaallen/2019/10/26/the-bitter-truth-about-why-people-fail-to-succeed-in-their-jobs/#185436294c46
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I asked the group of about 200 to share the “real” reasons that they either fired, refused to promote or downgraded a performance review on an employee within the prior two years. This is an aggregate list (in order of number of responses) for what they provided. Employees were fired, not promoted or rated poorly because they 1. didn’t seem to fit with the team, or they didn’t “mesh” in with the organizational culture.)

I should write a book about the aforesaid website owners. I would focus on those who state that they operate their website to make a profit, but in fact, they operate their website to promote the Democrat, Libertarian, and/or Green political parties.) 
https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/342220/publishers-decry-facebooks-power-as-social-networ.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Benioff, who also is CEO of software firm Salesforce, likened Facebook to cigarettes for having addictive powers and harmful effects on kids. “Facebook is addictive, it’s not good for you, they’re after your kids, they’re running political ads that aren’t true … and they’re also acquiring other companies and co-mingling data those companies have on their users into theirs for more power,” he said in an interview with CNN. Benioff isn’t the only media executive who has criticized Facebook. Rupert Murdoch, the News Corp. CEO whose political affiliations are the opposite of Benioff’s, also wants to rein in Facebook. Murdoch is dependent on the social network’s power to drive web traffic. His Fox News website generated more Facebook “engagements” than any other publisher during the third quarter, according to analytics firm NewsWhip. Those engagements keep people glued to Facebook, which is problematic for publishers that want to monetize their own audiences. Facebook reportedly is addressing this issue by offering cash payments to publishers whose articles appear in its news section, but it remains to be seen how lucrative that source of revenue will be.)

Mike Son said the responding officer was told a bottle of liquid was thrown from a white Lexus sedan at the four protesters near Jackson and Webster about 6:50 p.m. The vehicle then returned several minutes later, Son said, and someone in the car threw another plastic bottle at the group. This time a sticky liquid landed on two people, he said.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Donald Trump’s Chicago fundraiser and his expected speech at the International Association of Chiefs of Police at McCormick Place will draw thousands of protesters — and maybe some MAGA supporters — to downtown Chicago on Monday. Couple that with thousands more striking teachers just trained in civil disobedience, and we’ve got the makings of a massive political demonstration. It might be a crowd size that even Trump wouldn’t have to exaggerate. Dozens of political organizations and interest groups are urging their supporters to gather at 11:30 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Wacker and Wabash streets, which looks at Trump Tower from across the Chicago river. The protesters are expected to include immigration groups, gun control activists and women’s organizations. “We will be out in full force to protest Trump’s gleeful bashing of our city, his ridiculing of the very real violence promoted by his pro-gun policies, and his attempts to thwart us and all Sanctuary Cities as we protect our immigrant neighbors,” Marj Halperin of Indivisible Chicago told Playbook. Striking teachers are also expected to be part of the protest, hundreds of whom participated Thursday in civil disobedience training. In an email encouraging teachers to take part, CTU said the training was for members “who are ready to step it up a notch… We will learn from the tactics that ended Jim Crow and the Vietnam War.” During the training, they were “coached on blocking traffic and shutting down building lobbies,” according to the Sun-Times. No surprise that they will join Trump protesters. “It’s a target-rich opportunity,” a CTU organizer told Playbook. Attendees at Trump’s noon fundraiser may hear the chanting or see the protest signs but they otherwise won’t notice the blockade way across the river. Trump’s scheduled speech to the police chiefs convention is a few miles south of his hotel. His presidential entourage will avoid protesters by taking a two-and-a-half-mile tunneled access route that’s only used by the mayor, the Cook County Board president, and certain tour buses with security clearance. Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel liked to call it the Bat Cave. At the police chiefs convention at McCormick Place, Trump will hold court over a friendly crowd. Last year, at the group’s gathering in Orlando, he criticized Chicago’s handling of crime. It’s no wonder Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said he’ll boycott Monday’s speech. He might consider wandering over to the Illinois Institute of Technology campus to watch crews preparing for the Obama Foundation Summit that starts Tuesday. Oh yeah, the Obamas are expected to be in town Monday, too. – Shia Kapos

— Biden: Trump has ‘no idea’ about working-class struggles – AP (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast how Biden got his 1967 Corvette with how I got my 1972 Corvette. Biden’s father gave him his Corvette as a wedding gift. SEE: https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/21/joe-biden-gets-rare-permission-to-drive-his-67-corvette-proceeds-to-burns-rubber.html My father died suddenly in 1969 2 years before I bought my Corvette in 1971. I paid for my Corvette with an insurance settlement that I got for my stolen 1969 Dodge Charger SE and with money that I a) earned working full-time for IRS starting in 1971, b) working full-time for Firestone Stores 1970-1971, and c) working part-time for Firestone Stores 1971-1972. The money to pay for the Charger and for previous cars came from what 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 assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden drew contrasts between Trump’s experience as the son of a wealthy New York developer and Biden’s working-class upbringing in Scranton and Delaware.)

The IRP should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on statewide government and political issues. Republican county party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on countywide government and political issues. Republican township/ward party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that focus on township/ward government and political issues. However, I acknowledge that paying people to do the aforesaid would cost a tremendous amount of money.

DAILY HERALD
— Why Intel is going to share gender, racial pay data most companies conceal – Bloomberg (DIERSEN: If the federal government shared such pay data, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS, including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing, and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS, the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

COLORADO POLITICS
— Colorado politicos launch new site for conservatives – Joey Bunch (DIERSEN: How many conservatives are there in your neighborhood, precinct, municipality, township/ward, and county? Who speaks for them? Whose emails do they read?)
https://www.coloradopolitics.com/news/colorado-politicos-launch-new-site-for-conservatives/article_1f0733a0-f133-11e9-aa6f-8fd1f41644c8.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I pulled up a map for a friend of mine to illustrate how many conservatives were in his neighborhood; he had no idea,” Knoedler said. “He then told me that if only he’d known he was not alone on his street, he would have felt emboldened to put a candidate’s yard sign in front of his house.” Fuller said, “Conservatives are naturally less vocal about our political views, but having a community where we can encourage each other and organize to get involved in our communities will help members feel less alone.” Colorado is a launching group, but Fuller and Knoedler hope to expand to a national site.)

I had almost 9 years of experience working for IRS. I had 3 job-related master’s degrees and a job-related bachelor’s degree. I had 6 job-related professional certifications. I had a job-related professional license.)
