That, of course, because I am Republican, White, male, non-veteran, and forced to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO as a GS-9 Step 10 in 1980 when I was 31 years old, resulted in their wasting my career and getting rid of me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the state level, former Democratic state Sen. Martin Sandoval first took his seat in Springfield thanks to the remap following the 2000 census and Madigan’s political clout. The speaker was seeking support from Hispanic political leaders for his daughter’s run for Illinois attorney general, so he ensured Sandoval faced no opponents in the 2002 Democratic primary for the newly drawn 12th Senate district on Chicago’s Southwest Side.)

— House Republicans Unveil Plan to Boost Merit Pay and Slash Pensions Proposals would help rein in a “swamp monster” of a runaway bureaucracy, lawmakers say. – ERIC KATZ (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use the subjectivity in merit pay a) to retain and promote their employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote 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.)
https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2020/02/house-republicans-unveil-plan-boost-merit-pay-and-slash-pensions/162948/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: group consisting of three-quarters of House Republicans on Thursday released a new blueprint to overhaul the civil service, calling for easier firing, more merit-based bonuses and cuts to automatic pay raises. The Republican Study Committee and its 146 members praised the federal workforce overall, but said in its Government Efficiency, Accountability and Reform Task Force report that civil servants’ overall compensation is too high. The report repeated a long-running complaint that good applicants are too hard to hire and bad workers are too hard to fire, suggesting that some feds are intentionally undermining the Trump administration. At an event at the Capitol to unveil the reform plan, which featured several members of the committee as well as a man in a “swamp monster” costume, lawmakers said it would serve as a “playbook” for legislative changes once Republicans retake control of Congress.)

And, even then, he did not say he would vote yes on articles of impeachment until December. – BGA (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What qualifications do I have to be a fact checker? ANSWER: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

— Illinois should lead off presidential primaries – Editorial (DIERSEN: Pritzker argues that Illinois is “diverse.” I disagree. Based on how Illinois’ citizens have voted, Illinois is overwhelmingly 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 anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Stories Of The Enslaved In Illinois – TARA MCCLELLAN MCANDREW (DIERSEN: When did your ancestors come to Illinois? Mine came to Chicago in 1844. Sooner or later, if not already, the longer that your ancestors have been in Illinois, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs will demand that you pay more reparations, that is, that you pay more of the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. Further, the more of the following that you are, that more reparations that they will demand you to pay: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and draft avoider.) 
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/stories-enslaved-illinois#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Contrary to what we’ve been told and taught, Illinois was not a free state. Slavery and indentured servitude —slavery by another name — were legal here from the early 1700s until 1863. Blacks (and Native Americans early on) were bought, sold, auctioned, kidnapped, indentured, punished, controlled, gifted and taxed as property in the Land of Lincoln.)

FOX NEWS
— Can Mitt Romney actually be expelled from the Republican Party? – Tyler Olson (DIERSEN: In Illinois, the more planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform that you support, the more likely that Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO party leaders will expel you.) 
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/can-mitt-romney-actually-be-expelled-from-the-republican-party
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. political system may be run by two major parties, but compared with other countries, those parties have very little control over the positions espoused and votes cast by their members. The Republican National Committee has nothing in its rules about expelling an individual member from the party. In fact, while it is active as a campaign arm of the GOP and provides guidance to state parties and individual members on the general direction of the party, the RNC typically only has full control over the national party convention it hosts every four years. Most of its rules have to do with filling various party offices, delegate selection for the national convention and the procedure by which its convention runs. The only rule the RNC has regarding support for individual candidates bans it from supporting candidates in contested primaries and stipulates that someone running for another party’s nomination cannot be recognized as the GOP nominee. The Utah Republican Party does have a provision for expelling candidates from party membership, but it would not apply to Romney. A rule in the Utah GOP’s by-laws mandates that candidates running for office as a Republican have to sign an agreement saying they support the state party’s platform with a list of any platform stances they disagree with. Candidates who do not sign the agreement “will automatically forfeit their Party membership two days following the State designated candidate filing-period deadline.”)

— Republicans take action against Nancy Pelosi for tearing up speech at State of the Union “Nobody is above the law.

I should write a book about those who have constructively torn up my speeches.) 
https://www.theblaze.com/news/republicans-take-action-against-pelosi
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) tweeted that he had filed an ethics complaint against the Democratic leader. “Her conduct was beneath the dignity of the House, and a potential violation of law (18 USC 2071),” he tweeted. “Nobody is above the law. She must be held accountable.” And he wasn’t the only one. Rep. Kay Granger (R-Tex.) also introduced a resolution criticizing Pelosi for her act. “Speaker Pelosi’s actions last night were appalling and shameful,” read a statement from Granger. “Regardless of her personal feelings, she had a responsibility to conduct herself with civility as the presiding officer representing the House of Representatives. She is not the Speaker of the Democrats, but of the People’s House.” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) tweeted that he introduced a resolution to censure Pelosi.)

Since 2004, those emails have provided links to more than 356,100 articles and information on many upcoming Republican political events.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20200130/an-opportunity-for-you-to-help-strengthen-protections-a-newspaper-provides
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Efforts by these groups and others have documented direct connections between the loss of local newspapers and increased taxes, increased government costs and decreased interest in local government, including fewer options in races for local leadership offices. “When important stories are not told, community members lack the information they need to participate in the political process and hold government and powerful private actors accountable,” writes Clara Hendrickson, a Brookings research analyst in a November 2019 essay titled “Why America Must Revive Its Local Newsrooms.” A newspaper is more than the printed pages you hold in your hand or scroll on your computer or smartphone. It is a team made up of editors, photographers, artists, reporters and more who keep watch on local affairs and seek out the information that readers use to manage their government and enhance their quality of life.)

I should write a book about those who have worked the hardest to drive me out. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican.

I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
