Further, when I was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease ).)

REPRESENTATIVE ERIC SWALWELL, [D-CA-15]
— H.R.1684 – Journalist Protection Act (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who hint/imply/argue/shout that I am not a journalist.)
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1684/text
(FROM THE BILL: “(2) JOURNALIST.—The term ‘journalist’ means an individual who— “(A) is an employee, independent contractor, or agent of an entity or service that disseminates news or information— “(i) by means of a newspaper, nonfiction book, wire service, news agency, news website, mobile application or other news or information service (whether distributed digitally or otherwise), news program, magazine, or other periodical (whether in print, electronic, or other format); or “(ii) through a television broadcast, radio broadcast, multichannel video programming distributor (as defined in section 602 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 522)), or motion picture for public showing; and “(B) engages in newsgathering with the primary intent to investigate an event or procure material in order to disseminate to the public news or information concerning a local, national, or international event or other matter of public interest. “(3) NEWSGATHERING.—The term ‘newsgathering’ means engaging in regular gathering, preparation, collection, photographing, recording, writing, editing, reporting, or publishing concerning a local, national, or international event or other matter of public interest.)

LADDERS
— What NOT to talk about in a job interview (political affiliation) – Christina Brennan (DIERSEN: If I had been active in Republican politics a) the Post Office would NOT have offered me a job in 1966, b) IRS would NOT have offered me a job in 1971 or promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, and c) GAO would NOT have offered me a job in 1980 or promoted me in 1986. Further, because they view me as being “too conservative” and as NOT being a yes-man, when Republicans ran Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, they would NOT have offered me a job either.) 
https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/what-not-to-talk-about-in-a-job-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political affiliation Being politically engaged is very important. Unless you’re in politics or your primary volunteer experience is related, stay away from discussing your beliefs or affiliations. If you do have professional or volunteer experience, be sure to focus on the outcomes and lessons you learned that can be applied in the role you’re interviewing for, rather than advocating for a politician, party or issue.)
— What NOT to talk about in a job interview (family plans) – Christina Brennan (DIERSEN: Government is nasty, politics is nasty, Democrats are nasty. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates knew from Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on my wife and I that we planned to have children. After my wife and I gave up trying to have children, after we did not adopt, and after we did not become foster parents, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had lied about our family plans and that I should be punished severely for that. While virtually all of my coworkers viewed travel assignments positively and requested travel assignments, I had not requested travel assignments because my wife and I were trying to start a family. In 1989, to punish me for giving up trying to start a family, my Democrat GAO superiors threw me off audits of IRS and assigned me a 6-month travel assignment in Rock Island.) 
https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/what-not-to-talk-about-in-a-job-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Family plans While pregnancy or parenthood discrimination is illegal and interviewers can’t ask if you’re in a relationship or have kids, you may still find yourself weaving these personal details into a story or talking about your future. Unfortunately, expressing future family plans can still create red flags, especially for women.)

DAILY MAIL
— AUGUST 20, 2018 FLASHBACK: Chinese scholar proposes ‘no child tax’ on childless citizens to encourage couples to have more babies – KELSEY CHENG (DIERSEN: Virtually all my Democrat superiors in the federal government were married and a) had children and/or b) had a spouse who had little or no income. Virtually all of them were anti-DINK (dual income, no kids). Prior to 1978 when I got married, they were furious that I did not have a spouse or children to support like they did. After 1978, they were even more furious that my wife had a good job, we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Appeasement of bullies ‘will not work’ A pro-family activist who works to expose the truth about homosexuality says the fast-food giant is making a huge mistake by appeasing radical LGBT bullies. LaBarbera, Peter “Already the homosexual lobby is demanding that Chick-fil-A establish a non-discrimination policy at its company,” says Peter LaBarbera, founder and president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. “They’re going to demand that Chick-fil-A sign onto the HRC Corporate Equality Index with its radical agenda for corporations. They’re not going to let go of Chick-fil-A; they are the political bullies of the century. “They’re going to demand more concessions and they’re going to continue to call Chick-fil-A hateful,” he emphasizes. “This appeasement strategy will not work.”)

INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS JOURNAL
— Let’s do better finding candidates for next election – Adrianne Slash (DIERSEN: Are you a potential candidate? What do the following think of you and think of those who share your demographics: those who run your municipality, your township/ward, your county, Illinois, America, your township/ward political organization, your county political organization, your representative on your political party’s State Central Committee, your state political party, and those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your municipality, township/ward, county, state, and America? The proof is in the pudding. The proof is who the aforesaid a) encourage to run for offices and b) discourage from running. Ever-increasingly, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, and in America, the more of the following that you are, the more that the majority of the aforesaid discourage you from running: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) 
https://www.ibj.com/articles/slash-lets-do-better-finding-candidates-for-next-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Balance should not be just an idea, it ought to be a priority goal for all. Elections always have consequences and one consequence we should look into after the 2019 municipal election is a lack of balance on the local front. Less than 25% of Marion County voters participated in an election that sets the leadership that hits closest to home for the next four years. These results are what we get when the community is not so into the election. All the issues that rise to the top are likewise the priorities of the 25% who were interested. We can do better, but it starts long before Election Day, long before the primary, long before slating conventions. It happens as candidates are identified. Communities deserve candidates who reflect the community, as it exists at the time of the election, not reflective of a line started long ago that lets the next one simply get called up. Communities deserve the right candidate for right now—candidates who are inspired, who have been working, who are in it for the people, who understand the current needs and bring with them the expertise required to get the work done. I am convinced that our low turnout is tied to a lack of inspiration and interest in the processes, and whom we have running. If you look at the Indianapolis City-County Council races, the candidates who have personal ties to their districts have been able to draw their support systems, networks and, ultimately, neighbors to the polls. These communities had higher turnout. Imagine a year in which the candidate pool is representative of the people and chosen for the candidates’ community-level work and for the good of the people, not for commitment to party. Consider what it would look like to have an election cycle with full community buy-in—one in which candidates entered with excitement and fresh community-driven ideas.)

CAPE COD TIMES
— Only by lawless logic would we include illegal aliens in Census – Adam Lange, Vice Chairman, Brewster Republican Town Committee
https://www.capecodtimes.com/opinion/20191123/only-by-lawless-logic-would-we-include-illegal-aliens-in-census
(FROM THE LETTER: I attended the 2020 Census event at Barnstable Town Hall on Nov. 13. It confirmed how misguided our state government has grown, and reminded me how Donald Trump got elected in 2016. Secretary of State William Galvin told a packed room about his efforts to count everyone in next year’s census. He highlighted that illegal aliens should be included in the count, since their information cannot be shared with other government agencies (aka law enforcement). The U.S. Census determines who receives a finite amount of federal funding and apportions congressional seats. When Massachusetts government officials scheme to inflate their numbers by including the estimated 270,000 illegal aliens for whom they have created a sanctuary, it siphons off money and representation from real Americans in law-abiding states. When congressional seats and Electoral College votes are unfairly distributed, the 14th Amendment’s “one person, one vote” standard is violated. This lawless logic promoted by liberal state officials puts Americans last, and most likely will result in President Trump’s reelection in 2020.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: City Clerk Devon Reid spoke during public comment after the mayor denied his request to address the public from the dais. Instead of addressing aldermen, he picked up the microphone and turned toward the overflow crowd. “The decision that has been made regarding Kevin Brown doesn’t reflect our principals, nor does it reflect our rules, and that is the concern that I have,” Reid said. “We have seen a pattern, in this city, of racial inequity. We’ve seen a pattern of folks who speak out about racism and call out the city being systemically, systematically fired and terminated, and I think we have a duty to address this.”)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Facebook Weighs Steps to Curb Narrowly Targeted Political Ads Tech firms are reversing a yearslong trend of offering ever-more precise tools that in some cases facilitated the spread of misinformation – Emily Glazer (DIERSEN: What can be inferred about you from your browsing and search histories? The following can be inferred about me: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, married, homeowner, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, retired federal employee, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, raised in Crete, etc. Obviously, the more of your demographics that your critics/opponents despise/hate, the more that your critics/opponents despise/hate you. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who despise/hate me the most. I would focus on those in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. Of course, the aforesaid falsely deny that they despise/hate anyone because of their demographics.) 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-discussing-potential-changes-to-political-ad-policy-11574352887
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook Inc. is discussing increasing the minimum number of people who can be targeted in political ads on its platform from 100 to a few thousand, according to people familiar with the matter. The potential move is part of an effort to make it less easy for advertisers to microtarget, which has been criticized as enabling political actors to single out groups for misleading or false ads that aren’t seen by the broader public. Alphabet Inc. ’s Google said on Wednesday that advertisers would no longer be able to target political messages based on users’ interests inferred from their browsing or search histories. And last month, Twitter Inc. said it would stop accepting most political ads.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jewish groups, too, are calling for Miller’s resignation, which is significant because after the Southern Poverty Law Center reported on the emails last week, White House officials said that criticism of Miller, who is Jewish, amounted to anti-Semitism. “Mr. Miller condemns racism and bigotry in all forms, while those defaming him are trying to deny his Jewish identity which is a pernicious form of anti-Semitism and this outrageous smear dishonors the memories of Jewish victims of anti-Semitic persecution across the globe,” White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told Yahoo News)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Officer_Personnel_Management_Act
(FROM THE POSTING: DOPMA created stable and predictable career paths, institutionalized relatively short careers compared to private industry, and mandated the military adopt an “up or out” personnel management strategy (requiring officers who failed selection for promotion to be removed from the service). Although DOPMA accomplished many of its intended goals, many provisions and consequences of the legislation remain controversial. . .The DOPMA “system” generally provides two opportunities to advance to the next rank. Officers typically will go before selection boards in cohorts based on the year they were commissioned. The majority of officers are promoted “in zone” (or “primary zone”); officers not selected will go before the next board (“above zone”), typically held a year later. Officers who are not selected “above zone” (twice fail promotion) are required to separate from the service, retire if eligible, or by exception may continue to serve until retirement in their current grade (but will never again be considered for promotion). At the discretion of the services a small number of promotions may go to exceptional officers (“below zone”) who are promoted one or two years ahead of their cohort. Congress desired “due course” officers (those selected in the primary zone) to be promoted within set windows based on time served in the current grade and cumulative years of service. While not specified in DOPMA, Department of Defense policy established targets for selection to the next grade, as a percentage from the surviving cohort. Desired promotion rates and reporting requirements of service board results are regularly published by DoD. Current promotion guidelines are as follows:)

— Congress Should Hire More Staff, Task Force Says – MARK TAPSCOTT (DIERSEN: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency a) was almost always under hiring and promotion freezes and b) shrank in either absolute or relative terms.)
https://www.theepochtimes.com/congress-should-hire-more-staff-task-force-says_3152598.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Congress today is overwhelmed,” TFPCR stated. That’s due to “decades of self-imposed disinvestment in expertise and staffing.” “Congress today employs fewer staff aides than it did in the 1980s and early 1990s. Declines in staffing have been largest on committee staffs and at support agencies such as the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress’s principal repositories of policy expertise,” the report stated. “Given the complexity and size of the national government—and the informational resources held by the executive branch and interest groups—members of Congress simply require [more] extensive staff support in order to perform their jobs.”)

Sean Casten is only leaning Dem and the 12th District seat held by Rep. Mike Bost is only leaning Republican. The 15th District seat that’s opened up with Republican Rep. John Shimkus’ retirement after 2020 is still rated “solid Republican.” – Shia Kapos

Will LGBTQ-promoters, that is, Democrats, succeed in getting your municipality, your township/ward, your county, Illinois, America, and the world to officially banish Christians?

https://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2019/11/20/how-to-disunite-america-n2556749
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our First Amendment culture is endangered when local governments are given the capacity to block businesses from operating, not on the basis of business discrimination but on the viewpoint of the company’s founders alone. That’s precisely what’s happening here. If giving to Christian charities now bars you from opening a restaurant at the airport, our culture is beyond the point of no return. But there’s something even more troubling going on here. In a free country, of course we get to choose which businesses to patronize. But is it good for the culture for us to segregate our business based on examining the politics of those who own our companies? Do we really want a country where we shop based on political affiliation? Where every decision, every day, is rooted in partisanship? America’s social fabric is already fraying. Politics has invaded everything from education to sports, from movies to fashion. Should politics now determine where we buy a chicken sandwich? A country that punishes restaurants because its founders don’t openly celebrate same-sex marriage is a country destined to bifurcate. And that’s pretty fowl.)

— My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.
— My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

In your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, in America, and in the world, who takes the lead in dumping Christians?) 
https://illinoisfamily.org/faith/chick-fil-a/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a stunning act of betrayal, Chick-fil-A’s charitable foundation, the Chick-fil-A Foundation, has announced it will no longer donate to the Salvation Army, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), or Paul Anderson Youth Home (PAYH). Though Chick-fil-A has not publicly acknowledged the reason for its betrayal, everyone knows what it is. Chick-fil-A is attempting to curry favor with the “LGBTQ+” community that is shredding our social fabric. This policy shift constitutes a cowardly betrayal of Chick-fil-A’s Christian ethos and its Christian customers who have stood by Chick-fil-A through all its trials at the hands of legions of supporters of sexual deviance. Broods of vipers identifying as apostles of justice, equality, tolerance, diversity, inclusivity, and compassion have been protesting and maligning Chick-fil-A since 2012 when Dan Truett Cathy, chairman and chief executive officer, made some public statements in an interview with the Baptist Press supporting true marriage and opposing the legal recognition of homosexual unions as marriages. After homosexuals got wind of Cathy’s theologically orthodox and unremarkable statements, some part of hell broke loose and raged against Chick-fil-A. Fortunately for Cathy and Chick-fil-A, Christians turned out en masse all across the country to show their support with their time and money for Cathy’s stand for truth. And this is how Cathy and Chick-fil-A repay them.)

— Trump’s aides eye moving impeachment witnesses out of White House jobs – Kevin Liptak and Pamela Brown (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my Democrat superiors in the federal government, the adverse actions that they took against me, and why they took those adverse actions against me. I should write a book about TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter leaders, the adverse actions that they took against me, and why they took those adverse actions against me.)
https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/18/politics/donald-trump-never-trump-white-house-staff/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s one of the persistent anomalies of the impeachment inquiry: most of the witnesses airing concerns at Trump’s approach to Ukraine remain employed by him, despite his claims they are “Never Trumpers” and his overt suggestions they’ve already been fired. None, for now, have been explicitly fired by Trump, even as he and his allies suggest otherwise. It’s created an odd and uncomfortable situation for staffers, who say they are unclear on their colleagues’ futures in the administration. Over the weekend, a GOP talking point emerged that Trump was well within his rights to choose his own team, a response to Yovanovitch public recounting of the smear campaign orchestrated by Trump’s allies to push her from her post in Kiev. “America hired @realDonaldTrump to fire people like the first three witnesses we’ve seen,” the President’s son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted as Yovanovitch began her testimony. “Career government bureaucrats and nothing more.” A day later, Trump himself suggested on Twitter he’d already fired the three State Department employees who have appeared in public impeachment hearings, quoting the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.)

— How local ‘fake news’ websites spread ‘conservative propaganda’ in the US Locality Labs, a company operating scores of sites that purports to be a local news organization, is facing criticism it is part of a rightwing lobbying effort – Adam Gabbatt (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all government and political news and commentary is fake except for the government and political news that they put out or bless. Because I refuse to serve as an operative or as a dupe for my critics/opponents, they do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. I would focus on those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who blame all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000 on me, on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, and on what I did as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member.)
