— JULY 31, 2020 FLASHBACK: Largest indoor car mural located in Naperville basement garage – SUZANNE BAKER

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The world’s largest indoor automobile mural is located in the basement garage beneath one the buildings in the Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville. The 10,000-square-foot mural titled “Auto-mobility On the Shoulders of Giants” not only is a brief journey through history but depicts the iconic cars of the world and the men who built them. The idea for the grand mural came from Iron Gate developer and founder Tom Burgess, who wanted something to fill the empty concrete walls in the storage garage under the 5 O’Clock Tower, aptly named because the clock always is set to 5 o’clock. Instead of dull gray, Burgess said he wanted to create a colorful and lasting piece for future owners to understand the passion behind the construction of Iron Gate.)

POLITICO
— Anti-Facebook agitators see their moment under Biden. Joe Biden has said he’s no fan of Facebook. Now he has an opportunity to show it as he assumes landmark policy and legal battles against the company. – STEVEN OVERLY
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs work together to get Facebook to do more to get rid of those who voted for Trump once and for all. 2,446,891 voted for Trump in Illinois. 193,611 voted for Trump in DuPage County. 20,080 voted for Trump in Milton Township. 157 voted for Trump in my precinct.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/26/anti-facebook-agitators-biden-era-450347
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump era opened the floodgates for Facebook detractors, who accused the world’s largest social network of silencing conservatives on one side, and abetting disinformation about the U.S. election on the other. Now, under Biden, the company’s critics see a prime opportunity to finally tame Facebook — for the sake of election integrity, privacy and fair play in the digital era. Democrats widely accuse Facebook leaders of permitting misinformation to appease Trump and his Republican allies. Biden’s campaign representatives have also lambasted Facebook for choosing not to remove Trump’s misleading claims from their pages and for broadly halting political advertising in the days immediately before and after the Nov. 3 election.)

WASHINGTON POST
— JANUARY 27, 2015 FLASHBACK: DIERSEN HEADLINE: A car-hater says “The myth of the American love affair with cars.” Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives and their dupes hate cars. They see cars as being things that voters use to flee Democrat cities. They see cars as being things that those who have more money than they have buy. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who were furious when I bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, 1972 Chevy Corvette in 1971, 1962 Chevy BelAir in 1971, 1974 Dodge Dart in 1973, 1978 Chevy Chevette in 1978, 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale in 1978, 1962 Chevy Impala SS in 1989, 1990 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1989, 1993 Ford Thunderbird in 1993, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 1n 1994, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1995, 1997 Chevy Cavalier 1996, 2005 Chevy Corvette in 2005, 2003 Chevy Cavalier LS in 2010, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max in 2012, 2016 Ford Mustang in 2016, and 2019 Ford Escape Titanium in 2019.)

— Why We Can’t Stop Longing for the Good Old Days. Neurology and nostalgia help explain why people have always worried that the world is going downhill. – Johan Norberg
(DIERSEN: When were your Good Old Days? My Good Old Days include 1972, 1973, and 1974 when my GAO mentor promoted me to GS-9 (currently $58,672/year), GS-11 (currently $70,987/year), and GS-12 (currently $85,084/year). But then, my Democrat IRS superiors got rid of my mentor and everything went downhill from there. My Good Old Days include 1986, 1987, and 1988 when my GAO mentor got me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13 (currently $101,176/year). But then, my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of my mentor and everything went downhill from there. My Good Old Days include 1970 when I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, 1976 when I earned an MBA from Loyola, 1980 when I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and 1997 when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. My Good Old Days include 1979 when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and 1981 when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA. My Good Old Days include 1972, 1974, and 1976 when I bought real estate and 1978 and 1984 when my wife and I bought real estate. My Good Old Days include 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. when I bought news cars and 1989 and 1994 when bought collector cars. My Good Old Days include every day since I got married in 1978.)

TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT
— Look to the future with healthy optimism – Mark A. Mahoney
(DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. What makes it hard for you to be optimistic about the future? For me, it is the ever-increasing success that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs are having in driving Republicans out of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the harder that they work to drive you out. The more of the following that you are, the harder that they work to drive you out: Trump supporter, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, non-veteran, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— A Closer Look at the ‘Good Old Days’ – Kevin Williams
(DIERSEN: According to Democrats, the Good Old Days were good only for White males. I should write a book about minorities and females who IRS and GAO promoted over me who had less work experience, less education, and/or fewer professional certifications/licenses than I had. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

SUBURBAN CHICAGOLAND
— The courage of standing up for our Police. A student athlete at the University of Illinois stood tall and proud recently while all of her teammates and coaches took a knee during the singing of the National Anthem. That student, who I know but won’t identify, has true courage and is the symbol of what true justice is in the fight against racism and bigotry. Fighting crime is fighting racism. – Ray Hanania
https://suburbanchicagoland.com/2020/12/25/the-courage-of-standing-up-for-our-police/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A friend recently sent me a photo of a young female athlete at a basketball game at the University of Illinois standing up during the playing of the National Anthem while all of her teammates were on one knee. Although bending one knee is being defended as a symbol of protesting against “police violence,” it really has become more than that symbolizing extremist agendas including “defunding” the police. In the photo, this one junior is standing with her hand on her heart while her teammates and coaches all take one knee before the start of the game. I know who the girl is, but I won’t identify her because she could easily become the target of a growing movement of fanaticism that opposes the Police.)

— Congress May Tear Apart A Law That Launched The Internet – BRIAN DEAGON
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents want to abolish Section 230 so that they can sue me for including links in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to articles that they do not like. Of course, my critics/opponents have always been able to sue the authors of those articles, but they never have. Because Section 230 stops them from suing me, they take adverse actions against me.

https://www.investors.com/news/technology/section-230-law-launched-internet-in-danger-fb-googl-twtr/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A law considered by some to be “the 26 words that created the internet,” Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, now sits in the crosshairs of a Congress that is upset over its broad protections for web behemoths. Its fate could have a massive impact on the internet’s future and tech stocks in particular. The law guards web publishers from liability over third-party content. But both Republicans and Democrats seek sweeping changes to Section 230 in hopes they can rein in web giants like Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR), Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL)-owned Google. As Facebook and others increasingly take down content they deem inaccurate or objectionable, lawmakers also wonder whether the protections afforded by Section 230 are too broad for tech stocks. They want to hold social media and other web companies more responsible in managing their content.)

Even if your current paycheck is great and you see yourself evolving at your company, if you spend your days dreading Mondays and avoiding your colleagues, you should consider looking for an employer that fosters collaboration, transparency, and healthy work relationships at the office—even if that office is at home.)

— The Future of the Illinois Republican Party – Mike Flannery
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform is conservative. Anti-conservatives, that is, anti-Republicans, want the IRP to dump the following planks in the Republican Party platform: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Any state that promotes LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, and/or race or gender based preference giving is headed for bankruptcy.)

Researchers from the center, a NATO-accredited research group based in Riga, Latvia, paid three Russian companies 300 euros ($368) to buy 337,768 fake likes, views and shares of posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok, including content from verified accounts of Sens.

— New York Is Ousting Older Judges to Save Money. They’re Fighting Back. Dozens of judges are being forced to retire to close a pandemic budget gap. They have sued New York State, charging age discrimination. – Benjamin Weiser
(DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They have always wanted the federal government to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40.) Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Further, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want to oust conservative White male Republicans who are over 40 years old. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they ousted me as a GAO employee. In 2004, when I was 56 years old, they ousted me as a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. In 2007, when I was 59 years old, they ousted me as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member. In 2010, when I was 62 years old, they again ousted me as a MTRO webmaster. In 2011, when I was 63 years old, they ousted me as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member. In 2012, when I was 64 years old, they ousted me as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman.)

In Diersen v. GAO, I entered into the court record all the performance appraisals that GAO gave me 1980-1997.)

— Increasing Performance Value in Reduction-in-Force (RIF) – Ralph R. Smith
(DIERSEN: To deal with Republican-led budget cuts during the 1980s and 1990s, the Democrats who ran GAO got rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees made the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Further, to keep GAO employees who were liberal/moderate, poor, LGBTQ, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, the Democrats who ran GAO got rid of their employees who were conservative, non-poor, heterosexual, married, Christian, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2020/12/20/increasing-performance-value-in-reduction-in-force-rif/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The proposed regulations alter existing regulations regarding RIF procedures by modifying the order of retention, increasing the value of performance, and reducing the value of an employee’s length of service. This ranking procedure determines which employees will be retained—and which ones will not be retained—when an agency implements a RIF. Current RIF regulations place an employee’s performance as the last factor to consider when listing which employees will remain and which ones will go. The initial factors to consider in a RIF under current regulations are the “tenure of employment” followed by veterans preference and length of an employee’s federal service.)

I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

Now comes the question: What if where we work no longer had anything to do with where we live? (DIERSEN: I worked in the Loop in 1971 and then 1973-1997 and my wife worked in the Loop 1968-1992. I took classes in downtown Chicago 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 and my wife took classes in the Loop 1978-1986. In 1984, we paid a big premium for the lot that we had our built on in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the Wheaton train station. In 1978 we paid a big premium for a home in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the College Avenue train station. In 1974 and 1976, I paid premiums for condos in downtown Chicago because I could walk to/from work and classes. In 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park in part because it was a relatively easy commute to my job in Harvey.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— As White House Steps Up Schedule F Implementation, ‘Lawmakers Don’t Get It’ Recent moves by OPM are stoking fear that the Trump administration is accelerating plans to politicize federal jobs as the window closes on Congress’ ability to block the move. – ERICH WAGNER (DIERSEN: Are/were you a policy maker? In Diersen v. GAO, GAO constructively argued that I was a policy maker, and therefore, that GAO could terminate me because I opposed GAO’s policies of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and up-or-out. My Democrat GAO superiors never promoted me to GS-14. Only GS-14s and higher made hiring decisions, determined job assignments, made pay-for-performance decisions, made promotion decisions, etc.)
