Those politicians a) reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, b) promote patronage, c) promote political affiliation discrimination, d) promote reverse discrimination, e) promote age discrimination, and f) promote retaliation.

FORBES
— In Love With Donald: What Trump Can Teach Us About Belonging – Benjamin Vaughan (DIERSEN: What discourages you from “belonging” to a candidate, to an elected official, to a party leader, to a political organization? For me, it is their failure/refusal to defend/advance the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platform, and especially the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in those platforms.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— 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.)
— Lots of Job Hunting, but No Job, Despite Low Unemployment Even with the strongest labor market in half a century, getting work after losing a job can still be a challenge. – Patricia Cohen (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who hint/imply/argue/shout that the following took adverse actions against me because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things: my Democrat superiors in the federal government and the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc. Better yet, I should sue them.) 
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.)
— Ready. Set. Write a Book. – J. D. Biersdorfer (DIERSEN: What are you qualified to write books on? I am qualified to write books on the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, and IRS. I have been a member of the MTRCC, DCRCC, and IRP for almost 20 years. I have lived in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County for more than 41 years. I have lived in Illinois for more than 71 years. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years. Further, I am qualified to write books on early retirement. I have been retired for more than 22 years. Further, I am qualified to write books about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf Further, I am qualified to write books about publishing online newsletters. I have been putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out since 2000. Since 2004, they have gone out each and every morning, and since 2015, each and every evening too. Since 2004, they have included links to more than 349,300 articles and information on many upcoming events.)

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. In 1971 when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

GAO was under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— WARNING! COMING TO A REPUBLICAN DISTRICT NEAR YOU! (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are disciples of Saul Alinsky. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/10/warning-coming-to-a-republican-district-near-you.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The template for their activity is one being tested in other Republican districts across the nation by organizations with different names but similar goals. These efforts are modeled after the “Rules for Radicals” framework established by the original “community organizer,” Saul Alinsky. They are dark-money funded indirectly by leftists like George Soros and his ultra-wealthy “Archenemies of Liberty,” including Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, and Jeff Bezos. That leftist club, and its Democrat Party collective of congressional socialists, has been busy with a visible campaign to rig electoral demographics state by state, dispensing with the Electoral College in order to guarantee the perpetuity of leftist rule. But the Left is also engaged in a much more subversive strategy to transform our constitutional republic into a permanent populist democracy: a district-by-district strategy.)

— After criticizing Chicago from afar, President Donald Trump gets his chance to do it in person today – RICK PEARSON and BILL RUTHHART (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Chicago voters elect politicians who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, 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 for a long time.)

— New marijuana store licenses: Residents of 681 Illinois census tracts can get a leg up on applications. Are you eligible? Here’s which areas qualify, and why. – Ally Marotti (DIERSEN: Pot pushers want all of Illinois to be designated a “Disproportionately Impacted Area (DIA).” I fear that the pot pushers in Springfield will vote to force the sale of pot in DIAs even if the municipality or county had voted to ban the sale there. Where pot is sold, it brings down everything and everyone around it. How close is a DIA to where you live or work? Illinois Democrats want pot shops to open up in DIAs to revitalize those areas. Wheaton is the DuPage County Seat. The Democrats who run the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (IDCEO) have outrageously designated western Wheaton (Census Tract 8426.04) as being a DIA, that is, an area that has high rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration related to cannabis as well as poverty and unemployment. Needless-to-say, that must be a mistake. SEE: on https://censusreporter.org/profiles/14000US17043842604-census-tract-842604-dupage-il/ and https://www.chicagocityscape.com/maps/index.php?place=censustract-17043842604 While Wheaton has banned the sale of pot, the Democrats who run Illinois may very well vote to allow pot shops in DIAs thereby overriding Wheaton’s ban. I ask the following and everyone else who has an interest in Wheaton to ask the IDCEO to immediately rescind its western Wheaton DIA designation: Wheaton Mayor and City Council members, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township officers and trustees, DuPage County Board Chairman and County Board members, and federal and Illinois officials who represent or seek to represent any part of Wheaton.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Applications for licenses to operate 75 marijuana stores are now available, offering the first path into the industry for those who don’t already operate a cannabis business in Illinois. A map the state released identifying areas hit hardest by the war on drugs could play a vital role for some applicants. More than 2 million people live in the hard-hit areas identified on the map. A qualified resident of those areas who applies to grow and sell recreational marijuana will get an additional 50 points on the application, which has a maximum score of 250 points. . .To create the map, officials broke the state down by U.S. Census tracts. To qualify, an area had to have an average annual rate of at least 30 marijuana-related arrests per 10,000 residents or at least one marijuana-related parole per 10,000 residents. Roughly 10 years of arrest and parole data was analyzed, said Michael Negron, assistant director of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The data reflects the addresses of people with marijuana arrests or paroles, not where the incidents occurred. Additionally, an area either must have a poverty rate above 20%, more than 20% of households in the area must receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, also known as food stamps, or the area’s average unemployment rate over the past two years must have been at least 20% higher than the national average. “The data is intended to be objective while still keeping in mind where we think the impact of the war on drugs is,” Negron said. “That means the data really sets the map.” Here’s a look at the poverty and SNAP participation rates of some census tracts identified on the map: . . . Wheaton — Poverty rate of 9%, SNAP participation 8.2%, average annual marijuana-related arrest rate of 9.1 per 10,000 residents. This tract qualified as underserved based on its unemployment rate of 5.7%, which was more than 20% higher than the national average in 2017 and 2018. It is west of downtown Wheaton and includes a western chunk of Milton Township.)

Additionally, employers will qualify if the majority of their workforce meets those criteria. Some social equity applicants can also qualify for waivers from the state to cover half of their application fees. To qualify for a loan from Good Tree, applicants must fill out a form online to confirm they meet the qualifications before Nov. 1.)

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. Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted in 1971 saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

In 1989, I was extremely qualified to work for GAO on audits of IRS. I had worked for GAO on audits of IRS for the prior 3 years at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $98,198-$104,744.

To retain myself, I took evening and weekend courses at IIT and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. But then, even more wastefully, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/341090
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Having some minimum requirements combined with previous hiring data is a great place to start. However, employers should go beyond that, and focus on hiring the right culture fit. . .cultural fit is essential. An organizational culture is a system of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs that govern how people behave in a company. These shared values have a strong influence on the people in the organization, and dictate how they act and perform. Unfortunately, many hires struggle due to culture misfit, where they do not fit in with the team, they are not aligned with the values and goals pre-established, or their personality and workstyle is not compatible with what the company offers. A great way for employers to start seriously considering culture fit when hiring is to, firstly, define their organization’s culture, and make sure that it is visible and communicated regularly. Some employers do this by developing a strong online employer brand that can be viewed by potential job applicants. By announcing their organizational culture to potential applicants, it is more likely that employers will receive candidates who truly share their core values and principles and are able to smoothly assimilate.)

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.)

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.)

(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.

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.)

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

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Trump Impeachment Inquiry: Latest Updates (DIERSEN: Have you ever been “under investigation?” To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors had me “under investigation” 1974-1977. SEE GAO DECISION: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866 During the 1970s, IRS purposely kept its definition of “commuting area” vague so that it could use it to punish or to reward its employees. When my IRS Democrat superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, they used a narrow definition of “commuting area” to disallow my partial day per diem claims. They hinted/implied/argued that my partial day per diem claims were fraudulent. Needless-to-say, that ended my IRS career. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
