DAILY CALLER
— Anti-Trump Nutjob Arrested For Murder Of GOP Committeeman Neighbor – RYAN SAAVEDRA  (DIERSEN: What does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain have to say about this?  From what I see, the more of the following that your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain is, the more danger that he/she is in: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and ancestors have been in America for a long time. Further, the fewer votes that Trump got and the more votes that Clinton got in his/her precinct, the more danger your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain is in.  Trump got only 137 votes in my precinct and Clinton got 211.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/10/anti-trump-nutjob-arrested-for-murder-of-gop-committeeman-neighbor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A man described by neighbors as “quarrelsome” and who placed large anti-Trump signs in his yard is in police custody for the murder of his next-door neighbor – a GOP committeeman. Police in West Goshen Township, PA, charged Clayton Carter, 51, in the shooting death of his next-door neighbor, G. Brooks Jennings in the early morning hours on Tuesday, according to ABC Philadelphia. The conflict began on Monday evening when police officers responded to a dispute between Carter and Jennings that involved cursing and video recording in one of their backyards. Police de-escalated the conflict around 8 p.m. and left. Shortly after midnight, police say another conflict erupted between the two neighbors as Carter claims that Jennings shined a light into his eyes. Carter purportedly told police that he then drove his car onto his lawn and shined the car’s high beams towards Jennings. Investigators say it was at this point when Carter went into his home and grabbed a .380 semi-automatic pistol and confronted Jennings. Carter allegedly shot Jennings in the head, knocking him to the ground, and then stood over his body and shot him in the head again. Police say the victim Carter shot Jennings on Jennings property. One neighbor described Jennings, a GOP committeeman, as “the nicest, best guy I’ve ever met in my whole life.” Those same neighbors described Carter, who apparently had a history of conflict with multiple neighbors — including pulling a gun on Jennings in the past — as someone they avoided because of his volatile behavior. “We steered clear of him. We were frightened of him [Carter] because he’s so unpredictable,” another neighbor said speaking about Carter. Neighbors described his front yard as being crowded with cars and anti-Trump signs that he made himself. Many of the conflicts between Carter and his neighbors were apparently not political, but personal. Police charged Carter with multiple crimes including first-degree murder which makes him ineligible for bail in the state of Pennsylvania.)

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.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-james-damore-fired-googler-20170808-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But unlike government employees, who have some free speech protections, private employees in the U.S. have little legal recourse if companies choose to retaliate for things they say at work or at home. In fact, most non-union private sector employees can be fired for almost any reason — or no reason at all. “Any claim that [Damore] brings will have only a negligible chance at success,” said law professor Paul Secunda, who directs the labor and employment law program at Marquette University. What’s more, firing Damore may have kept Google on the right side of the law, if the company or its employees felt that the memo had created a work environment that was hostile to women. Adam Galinsky, chair of management at Columbia Business School, said companies may have a legitimate reason for firing someone for expressing views that disrupt the professional environment. “I think that the firing was the appropriate response here,” Galinsky said. “I think if they didn’t fire the employee it would have created a lot of internal unrest among the women who work at Google.” In his defense, Damore could claim under the Civil Rights Act that he was fired for being male or for speaking out against anti-male discrimination, but Google could counter that it actually fired him for the attitudes he expressed about women, which aren’t protected. “He would have to show that if a woman had made similar comments about women’s superiority for jobs, that woman in a similar situation would not have been terminated,” , said Shannon Farmer, a partner at Ballard Spahr who represents employers. “That’s probably a hard thing to prove.” On Monday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a note to employees that said portions of Damore’s memo “violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.” He didn’t say if the company was taking action against the employee. A Google representative, asked about the dismissal, referred to Pichai’s memo.)

Pope Francis calls it “terrible” that children are taught they can choose their gender.

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. Further, non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, a) the longer that you are a federal employee, the less likely that private sector employers will hire you, b) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 ($94,610) by age 25, GS-14 ($111,801) by age 30, GS-15 ($131,508) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($161,900) by age 40, c) you will be expected to help your superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, and d) virtually everyone despises if not hates federal employees, former federal employees, and federal retirees.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Chicago Trib Demagogue Who “Identifies” as Reporter, Goes After State Rep. Ives – Laurie Higgins  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Chicago Tribune promotes gender confusion and LGBTQ activity.)
https://illinoisfamily.org/education/chicago-trib-demagogue-identifies-reporter-goes-state-rep-ives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I thought my view of the Chicago Tribune couldn’t get lower and then I read a piece by Mr. Kim Janssen on State Representative Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton), one of the most courageous, ethical lawmakers in Springfield. Last week, Rep. Ives posted a link to my article titled “Christians Must Exit Government Schools” on her Facebook page. Subsequently, Janssen wrote an article titled “Lawmaker compares teachers who support transgender rights to ‘dirty old men,” ostensibly about Rep. Ives, which was published online Friday night. As I predicted, the Trib waited to publish it in their Sunday print edition rather than publishing it in the slim and little-read Saturday edition. It seems that the Trib powers-that-be want to use my politically incorrect writing to do as much political damage to Rep. Ives as possible. Clarification for the Trib: Lawmaker Ives did not compare teachers who support alleged “transgender rights” to dirty old men. I compared teachers who expose children to obscene material to dirty old men. Further clarification: Gender-dysphoric persons have no ethical or moral “right” to use opposite sex restrooms and locker rooms. In an email to Rep. Ives after his article was published, Janssen doubled-down on the absurd claim that objectively male and objectively female persons have a “right” to access opposite-sex private spaces, accusing Rep. Ives of having a “history of opposition to transgender rights.” Janssen’s assertion reveals his ideological bias. “Trans”-identifying persons have no more ethical “right” to use opposite-sex facilities than do I or Mr. Janssen. The current manifestation of the sexual revolution is not a fight for equal rights or a fight to gain rights that have been denied to some group. Artificially feminized men and artificially virilized women are declaring that they deserve special, a-historical privileges. They have decided that while all other humans must use private spaces that correspond to their objective, immutable biological sex, they—that is, “trans”-identifying persons—may use private spaces that do not correspond to their objective, immutable biological sex. They are demanding to be treated differently from most humans. Perhaps a better way to define what gender-pretenders are doing is to say they have arrogated the unilateral authority to declare that all spaces in which humans undress or engage in bodily functions will no longer correspond to objective, immutable sex but, rather, will correspond to subjective, internal feelings about one’s sex. “Trans”-identifying persons, however, have no authority or right to decide that feelings trump objective sex when it comes to accessing private spaces. In his “news” article about Rep. Ives—really an article about my article—Janssen cites the ethically impoverished Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which labels IFI a “hate group” based on our views of volitional homoerotic activity, marriage, and the “trans” ideology, views with which the SPLC disagrees. The only way IFI, which holds orthodox theological views, can be deemed a “hate group” is by redefining hatred.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Draining the swamp: Now what? – Mike Causey  (DIERSEN: Just kidding, but Trump should nominate me to head OPM.  My bachelor’s degree from NIU in personnel management.  Personnel management was my area of concentration for my MBA.  I have almost 30 years experience working for the federal government, almost 3 years experience working for the Post Office, almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which as a GS-12 Step 1-5, currently $79,563-$90,173, almost 18 years working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10, currently $94,610-$122,991. Since 1989, GAO has used Nesterczuk’s “banding” to get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://federalnewsradio.com/federal-report/2017/08/draining-the-swamp-now-what/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The surprise decision of George Nesterczuk to withdraw as a candidate to head the Office of Personnel Management cheered federal unions and some, maybe many, feds who remember the Reagan years as a nervous time to be a fed. But his withdrawal from consideration can also be viewed as a blow to the administration’s promise/threat to shake, rattle and roll the federal bureaucracy, making it skinnier and more responsive. And less fireproof. Or not. It is equally possible that the next OPM director, when nominated and confirmed, could come in with an even tougher agenda, but with less knowledge of how the civil service systems function. Nesterczuk’s departure — five months after he was nominated — is also an example of the problems many agencies are facing because so many key political jobs are either vacant or held by appointees from the Obama administration. The rudderless OPM has been without a confirmed director since 2015. Although the agency is little known outside of government and outside of Washington, it plays a critical role in the work lives of civil servants and retirees. Nesterczuk’s first federal job was as an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. After leaving government, he was active in Republican politics in Maryland and ran Ronald Reagan’s campaign in the state. He was later appointed as associate director for executive personnel at OPM under its controversial director Donald Devine. During the Reagan years, many federal workers — and especially federal and postal unions — felt unloved, at best, and under attack at worst. Nesterczuk drew additional union fire for helping set up a Bush administration initiative called the National Security Personnel System. It was a Defense Department program the administration hoped to expand to other agencies. Under it, managers would have the ability to set employee pay within bands (rather than the traditional 15 grades) based on their performance. Unions balked at it, and complained that they had little input. As a result, the 200,000 workers put under the NSPS were all from outside union bargaining units. Pay raises for many exceeded the regular annual federal pay raises. This being Washington, each side had a conspiracy theory with each claiming both success and the moral high ground. The Bush administration said it was proof that when motivated and given more opportunities, workers rose to the challenge. Unions said the same thing, in reverse. They claimed that political appointees at the Pentagon gave NSPS workers bigger raises to prove that the new system worked, And possibly stick it to unions too. In any case, the Democratic Congress unraveled it and the 200,000 feds who had been under the NSPS were blended back into their previous grades, but often at higher pay. For critics of the Reagan administration’s approach to the federal workforce, Nesterczuk is credited/blamed for working under and closely with Devine during what some people refer to as the “Devine Years.” One former congressional staffer-turned lobbyist who followed the federal-postal beat said: “Remembering that the demise of the CSRS retirement plan occurred as a result of the bipartisan agreement between Democrat Tip O’Neill and Republican Ronald Reagan to bail out Social Security by forcing new federal employees into that program, Mr. Nesterczuk’s previous tenure at OPM was marked by no significant lasting cuts in employee benefits, the congressional establishment of the successful Federal Employees Retirement System (over the objections of Nesterczuk and his old boss [Devine] who wanted only a “super IRA” for feds), and the start of significant membership growth by at least two civil service unions that have sustained their efforts to this very day. The unions may cheer Nesterczuk’s withdrawal, but it is useful to remember that his past record is one of ineffectiveness. Now President Trump has a chance to nominate someone who can really do some damage.”)

Because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week or $198 less each day to spend.)

(DIERSEN HEADLINE: Retrograde Analysis is an approach that uses reversed methodology. Think of it as a new tool; it has the benefit of providing perspectives that most linear thinkers would normally not consider. RA is not new or even unique as a general concept. It is likely many have used it without giving it much thought, let alone a name. In our everyday lives, we have problems occur that require we take an opposite and sometimes uncomfortable point of view to resolve. That is the essence of RA.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-arrupe-college-loyola-university-met-20170805-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Loyola University Chicago was Blanca Rodriguez’s dream school. The Jesuit institution’s $21,000 tuition was out of the question for her family, but Rodriguez soon will be a Loyola graduate anyway thanks to a program for low-income students designed to get them halfway to a bachelor’s degree with little or no debt. Rodriguez is in the first graduating class of Arrupe College, a two-year program run by Loyola at its Water Tower Campus in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Established in 2015, Arrupe offers three types of associate degrees, mostly fulfilling general education requirements that will enable students to segue into bachelor’s programs at other schools. Arrupe’s students are among the city’s most vulnerable — and not just because they often cannot afford tuition. Many students or their parents are living in the U.S. illegally and face a threat of deportation. Some experience homelessness or food insecurity. Others are young parents. Many live in crime-plagued neighborhoods, have lost close relatives to gun violence and avoid taking late-day classes because they are scared to use public transportation at night.)

— Why some employers are becoming more generous with retirement savings plans – Gail MarksJarvis  (DIERSEN: From the beginning of time, government employees and government retirees have been viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned. Because of that, to hire and to retain employees, governments have had to pay higher salaries and offer better retirement and other benefits. 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.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/ct-companies-give-employees-more-401k-money-marksjarvis-column-0807-biz-20170803-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an effort to recruit employees in competitive fields and help motivate older workers to leave the workplace when they hit retirement age, companies are becoming more generous with their retirement savings plans. After pulling back on the extras during the recession, companies are devoting more to 401(k) matches, the free money they give employees who participate in company retirement savings plans.)

— Rauner Names New Lead for DC Team – Mary Ann Ahern  (DIERSEN: If you taught a course, how would your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes anonymously rate you?  What do you base your knowledge of the federal government on?  I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. While I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently, $94,610-$122,991, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators for almost 9 years, audits of many other federal agencies for almost 6 years, and audits of IRS for 3 years. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently, $79,563-$90,173.  The aforesaid experience helped me become a Certified Government Financial Manager.)
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Rauner-Names-New-Lead-for-DC-Team-438623933.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner announced Friday he’s chosen Sam Pfister to lead his Washington DC team. Pfister replaces Kathy Lydon, who had served Illinois in DC for years dating back to Sen. Charles Percy. Lydon quit three weeks ago as the governor overhauled his staff and more than two dozen of his inner circle were either fired or quit in protest. Pfister will be paid $75,000. Pfister’ most event job is four years as the associate director of state outreach for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The think tank was founded by Richard Fink, who heads the Koch Industries lobbying group in Washington, DC. Charles Koch is also a board member of the Center. The Wall Street Journal has called the Mercatus Center “the most important think tank you’ve never head of.” The Koch brothers have given more than 100 million to conservative and libertarian policy and advocacy groups. Rauner has also hired a deputy director of communications Beth Tomev. She started earlier this week, but no announcement was made. She will be paid $117,000. Tomev has been a public affairs consultant, worked at Fox News Chicago, as Walter Jacobson’s producer, and taught communications and journalism classes at Columbia College and Loyola University. “I did not know what I was getting into when I took Tomev’s class,” according to a review of Tomev on Rate My Professor. “Her lectures are nonsensical, she takes up class time with irrelevant stories, grades unreasonably tough without providing clear expectations for assignments, and has purposely ambiguous exam questions that can tank your grade. All for an intro course. Would not recommend to anyone.”)

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.)

— Trump set to embark on 1st vacation since inauguration – AP  (DIERSEN: Vacations are expensive. Your GOPUSA Illinois Editor and his wife are not planning any kind of vacation.

I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week or $198 less each day to spend on vacations because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/08/02/ann-coulter-says-marijuana-is-making-people-retarded/23062212/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter says marijuana is destroying the country. She was speaking at Politicon, a nonpartisan political event over the weekend. Coulter, who has a history of making very controversial — and some might say offensive remarks went off when she was asked whether or not weed should be legal. “You can legalize all the drugs you want when there isn’t a welfare state. No marijuana makes people retarded, especially when they’re young.” he debate started when Coulter’s fellow panelist, Ana Kasparian brought up the racial differences between blacks and whites when it comes to marijuana charges. Coulter pointed to a study that revealed black people are more likely to lie about their weed use than other races. However, she didn’t say who did the study or any information about the study to back up her claim. Meanwhile, Kasparian said no one should be prosecuted for marijuana possession calling it a waste of our resources.)

ANSWER: He will shout at Blacks that Republicans have caused, are causing, and will forever cause all the problems that Blacks have had, are having, and will have.  Sanders will especially demonize, denigrate, and condemn Republicans who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— New White House chief of staff Kelly called Sessions to assure him his job was safe – JOSH DAWSEY and JOSH GERSTEIN  (DIERSEN: Is/was your job safe?  Prior to September of 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors MISSLED me to believe that my job was safe, that is, that they would let me work until I was eligible for regular retirement when I would be 55 in September of 2003. They could hint/imply/argue/shout that I should have “seen the writing on the wall.” They had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they had not promoted me beyond GS-13, they had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, they had gotten rid of the GAO manager who had hired me, who had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who had promoted me to GS-13 in 1986, and they had forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— How would you handle a forced retirement? – Michelle Singletary  (DIERSEN:  My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  One way that I have handled that forced retirement is to spend less money.  I spend less money a) because I spend 10+ hours in my home each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) because I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week  or $198 less each day to spend because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  My GAO salary in today’s dollars was $122,991 a year, but my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $50,856 or $72,135 (59%) less a year.)

— No going back: Anthony Scaramucci’s White House job could cost him $7.5 million – Gregory Korte
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/03/anthony-scaramuccis-white-house-job-could-cost-him-7-million/531376001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Anthony Scaramucci took no salary during his short tenure as White House communication director — yet his 10-day career detour could end up costing him more than $7.5 million. That’s because the New York hedge fund founder left the White House before he could obtain a “certificate of divestiture” giving him the special tax treatment available to federal employees who give up assets in order to avoid conflicts of interest. Without that certificate, the sale of Scaramucci’s Skybridge Capital to a Chinese holding company will be taxed at the capital gains rate of 15%. According to Scaramucci’s financial disclosure report, his 43.8% share of the sale is worth at least $50 million; other estimates put that number even higher. The Office of Government Ethics would not comment on whether Scaramucci’s application for that special tax treatment. But granted certificates are a matter of public record, and no such certificate has been granted to Scaramucci. And under OGE regulations, an application must come from a current employee of the executive branch.)

https://www.fool.com/retirement/2017/08/03/3-common-retirement-mistakes-that-can-put-a-crack.aspx
(FRTOM THE ARTICLE: 1. Underestimating health-related expenses  Healthcare is expensive, and you’re more likely to suffer illnesses and injuries as you age. Health problems such as Alzheimer’s and hip fractures from falls are far more common in older adults, and they’re also incredibly expensive to treat. (The average cost to care for a person with Alzheimer’s during the patient’s last five years of life is about $287,000, and the average hospital visit after a fall costs about $30,000.) Medicare will help cover some of the costs of health problems, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have to pay anything out of pocket. You’ll still be responsible for your deductible, coinsurance, and copays, and Medicare doesn’t cover long-term care, eye exams, most dental care, or hearing aids.)
