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.)

DAILY HERALD
— It’s now even easier to fire U.S. workers for what they say – Josh Eidelson and Hassan Kanu (DIERSEN: Have you been fired? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors fired me, that is, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” They fired me because I had become an active member of a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They fired me because I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about those who claim to be conservative and/or Republican, but who side with my Democrat GAO superiors. I would focus on past U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators. I would focus on present and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. All of the aforesaid talk and/or act like they reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. All of the aforesaid pander to minorities and pander to women, and especially to minorities and to women who are younger.)

— Equity in Illinois higher education: ‘We are failing our African American students.’ – Raymon Troncoso (DIERSEN: What limited your educational achievements? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. While I attended high school, I did yard work, delivered newspapers, and washed dishes. The summer after high school, I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline. While I earned my bachelor’s degree, I delivered mail and worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard. While I earned my master’s degrees, I pumped gasoline, collected delinquent taxes, and audited federal agencies.)

— Illinois district includes students of color in groups with first chance at in-person learning. ‘There was a pandemic before this,’ superintendent says. ‘That was inequity and racism’ – Sam Dorman (DIERSEN: To give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. To give preference to those who are minority, female, LGBTQ, younger, not married, product of a non-traditional family, non-Christian, non-Italian American, non-German American, non-veteran, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, in America illegally, those who have less money than others, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time IS TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE White, male, heterosexual, older, married, product of a traditional family, Christian, Italian America, German American, veteran, Republican, conservative, citizen of America, those who have more money than others, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.foxnews.com/us/illinois-schools-black-brown-students-in-person-learning
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Because District 65, which includes students from Evanston and Skokie, won’t force teachers to work on-site, school buildings may not be able to accommodate all students who would like to come back to their classrooms. In that event, Superintendent Devon Horton reportedly said, the district would give priority to “Black and Brown students,” and others it considered to be “marginalized” or “oppressed.” “This decision aligns directly to the guidance released by the Illinois State Board of Education on June 23 in using an equity lens to implement and transition into blended learning. This was also a top idea recommended by our Community-based Task Force,” school district spokeswoman Melissa Messinger told Fox News. “As a community deeply committed to educational equity, we will continue to root our decisionmaking on how to best serve our most vulnerable student populations.”)

Ludlow (DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans, and especially to get rid of Republicans who are Trump supporters, conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, non-poor, draft avoiders, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/08/human_resources_and_cancel_culture.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Current human resource (HR) policies deliberately misuse terms such as diversity and equity to achieve political ends. That isn’t news. But the process by which those terms were twisted into their current shapes is worth a look. Likewise, it is important to see how their current usage is grounded in economic ignorance and unsound ethics. Sadly, the resultant HR policies — including microaggression training and gender-and-race training — feed a growth industry of diversity hucksters. These quick-buck artists subvert productive corporate meritocracies and replace them with systems that enshrine mediocrity, manufacture complaints, and generate resentment – not to mention whining and pearl clutching. Even worse, the dismal results of these programs only seem to validate those who started them! The dysfunctional corporate cultures they create give politically motivated HR staff an opportunity to “referee” disputes among their newly infantilized employees. Meanwhile, adults who just want to do their jobs well, get paid, and go home are marginalized or driven off – as in the case of Google engineer James Damore; scores of editors, journalists, and columnists; and university professors in the U.S. and Canada.)

— A lesson in contrasts: How the GOP purged its leader amid corruption allegations – Editorial
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-corruption-madigan-comed-lee-daniels-20200807-3q6u23z34ncvrii6mlctw2ydwy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June 2002, then-Illinois Republican Party Chairman Lee Daniels abruptly announced his resignation from that party post as pressure mounted, including from the GOP state attorney general, to remove unwanted “distractions” in an election year. Daniels and his chief of staff had fallen under the radar of federal prosecutors who were investigating whether GOP staff members did campaign work on state time. “The party deserves to serve its purpose without unwarranted distractions,” Daniels, who as House minority leader was House Speaker Michael Madigan’s counterpart, said in announcing he would step down as party chair. “For that reason, it is best that I refocus my energy and encourage others to refocus theirs.” Not long after, the House Republican caucus voted 33-18 to install a new House leader, Rep. Tom Cross, after Daniels lost support among his colleagues in that role too. Daniels had not been charged and was only peripherally linked to a time sheet scandal, but the whiff of a federal corruption probe pushed his members to force him out of leadership. Three years later, Daniels’ chief of staff, Michael Tristano, formally was indicted and later pleaded guilty to a fraud charge as part of a probe into state workers’ diverting taxpayer resources to campaigns. Tristano also was accused of working out a deal with a real estate group to put a Republican candidate on its payroll. In exchange, the real estate group’s project received more than $1 million in state funds, prosecutors said. Other statehouse insiders, including Madigan, then-Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka and Senate President Emil Jones, also had been asked to turn over records as part of a state-resources-to-campaigns scandal. Shortly after Tristano’s indictment in 2005, Daniels announced he would retire from his remaining position as a state representative. Daniels was not implicated in Tristano’s indictment, and he was never charged with wrongdoing. But he left anyway. A top GOP party and policy leader in the state who once held three positions of power was gone, pushed out by his own members and a nudge from the previous GOP attorney general, Jim Ryan, who had forwarded corruption allegations to federal investigators. Under the lens of compare and contrast, then and now, one takeaway is this state’s breathtaking tolerance for corruption. It has settled into the system of governance and politics as its own permanent institution. Corruption is an expected byproduct of serving in public office, like wind makes waves.)

— Impugning faith has long been in Trump’s playbook, but Biden won’t let it slide – James Hohmann (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have impugned my faith. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who promote booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. They stress that unlike them, I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. They stress that on Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings, instead of attending church services like they do, I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out. I would focus on those who hate Missouri Synod Lutherans (MSL). I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a MSL. My outstanding parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with MSL.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mryan said she was particularly troubled by a comment made on social media about the Hinsdale Black Lives Matter group. “They said that Hinsdale is a utopia, so why would we want this here,” she said. “If it’s going to be a utopia, hearing these stories is very important.” Mryan said all submissions of experiences are anonymous, a decision the group made after consideration. “It was about weighing the possibility of someone making up a story that is told versus the possibility of someone with a story not telling it,” she said. “I have faith in the people who are sharing their stories.” The Hinsdale Black Lives Matter group attracted about 500 people to its June 6 demonstration. Mryan said the demonstration was organized in the wake of the May 25 death of George, but added that there is more to it than that incident.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The resolution calls for several remedies. Among them, changing the second Monday in October from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day; including Juneteenth on district calendars as a holiday; seeking out other groups represented in the community to ensure other important cultural holidays are noted on district calendars; developing curriculum and policies that are racially and culturally relevant; considering offering College African-American History as a general education course rather than an elective; examining art and imagery in district buildings and removing any that is deemed offensive; additional training for employees; aggressive recruitment of teachers and staff that reflect the racial makeup of the student body and community. Additionally, the board directed the superintendent to prepare an annual report on the academic achievement and discipline of minority students as a group, including educational outcomes, while protecting privacy rights, a report on successes inside and outside the classroom, and to track complaints of racial bias from employees, students and parents, including the resolutions. The discipline policies will be reviewed and updated with input from students and school resource officers and that will accompany the annual review of the contract with the school resource officers as the board considers their role.)

ELMHURST PATCH
— DuPage Officials Get Facts Wrong In Heated Debate Over Raises The sheriff cited attacks at Oak Brook mall, but there were none. A board member said she had heard of no looting, despite media reports. – David Giuliani
https://patch.com/illinois/elmhurst/dupage-officials-get-facts-wrong-heated-debate-over-raises
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a heated June 9 finance committee meeting, DuPage County board member Ashley Selmon, D-Addison, accused Sheriff James Mendrick, a Republican, of “irresponsible rhetoric” about “looting and sledgehammers” that led Elmhurst and Addison to board up businesses amid a wave of Black Lives Matter protests across the county and around the country. Mendrick took exception, saying the sledgehammers and looting were facts, not rhetoric. “It’s an insult that you say that there were just peaceful demonstrations,” he told Selmon. “I am sorry, but they were not. We were being attacked at Oak Brook Mall. That’s just a fact. I was there. My staff was there. Don’t belittle what we just did for this county.” The exchange happened during a debate about “equity” raises — possibly as high as $25,000 — for sheriff’s department employees, and Patch found that neither Selmon nor Mendrick was entirely correct. According to police reports, there was no attack on officers or anybody else at Oak Brook Center mall on May 31 or in the days following, only minor property damage. According to Oak Brook police, a brick was thrown at a Neiman Marcus store window around 11 a.m. that day, causing a dozen punctures to the glass. A witness saw six men involved in the incident, but they sped away, according to police. In one case, police did report seeing a sledgehammer in plain view in a car’s back seat, according to a sheriff’s department after-action report. According to the report, officers tried to stop a number of cars at the mall that night, with some passengers mocking or swearing at officers and others fleeing from police. In an interview, sheriff’s department spokesman Justin Kmitch said when the sheriff mentioned “attacks,” he was referring to a number of instances in the days leading up to the committee meeting. “There were no physical assaults of officers at Oak Brook,” Kmitch said. “Protecting the mall was everyone’s priority out there.” He noted the sheriff set up a command center at the mall, which he called the “crown jewel of the DuPage County economy.” At the committee meeting, Selmon said she and other county board members had received regular reports of the protests around DuPage County from the county’s homeland security department. “Unless I’m illiterate, we did not get a single report of anything categorized as looting in this county,” she said. While she may not have received a report, it’s also inaccurate to say there were no cases of looting in the county. About a week before the meeting, more than 30 stores were looted and 11 people arrested in Naperville, according to police and media reports. The looting started around 9 p.m., following a peaceful Black Lives Matter demonstration that had been held earlier in the day, according to Naperville Police Chief Robert Marshall. The sheriff’s department report on the incident said “large explosive devices” were thrown at police officers, and at least one bystander was stabbed while trying to help police, according to Marshall. About the same time, stores in Downers Grove and Aurora were also looted, according to media reports. According to the sheriff’s after-action report, officers in a number of instances also found people with weapons near protests. In Roselle, for instance, a car stopped near a demonstration contained two rifles, six handguns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, the report said. And in Elmhurst, police took into custody a man who was seen arriving at a June 1 protest with a rifle, bag, helmet and body armor, according to police. In an email, Selmon said that after the June 9 committee meeting, she and others were able to get more complete information both from the state’s attorney and the sheriff’s office. “As I said, the Homeland Security reports did not indicate those events, but the further information we received did elaborate and confirm a more complete picture, including some incidents of looting/theft/burglary, as was seen in other communities and nationally,” Selmon said. “Similarly, the events were, and thankfully continue to be, overwhelmingly peaceful.” The county board approved the raises for the sheriff’s department employees. Selmon and fellow Democrat Liz Chaplin, whose district includes Elmhurst, dissented.)
