Instead, they took adverse actions against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

Given the honor of commanding drivers to start their engines, Trump made a grand entrance before the start of the race. He gave thousands of fans a flyover of Air Force One and then rode onto the track in the presidential motorcade as the audience roared with delight. The motorcade took roughly a quarter lap before pulling aside in an infield staging area. The president’s visit was widely welcomed by NASCAR fans. Trump 2020 flags flooded the infield, and some fans wore them as capes in the garage area.)

Needless-to-say, the worst national origin to have is German. What if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish ancestry? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me as well as the fact that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran and I lived in Crete 1948-1972. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

I worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year. I worked on audits of federal financial institution regulators for almost 9 years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and on audits of many other federal agencies, including Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Defense, U.S. Postal Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Immigration and Naturalization Service, General Service Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Department of Labor, Federal Aviation Administration, Veteran Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Health and Human Services, for almost 6 years. I worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. I worked for the Post Office as a part time carrier/clerk for almost 3 years at the GS-4 Step 1-3 levels, currently $16.64-$17.75/hour. I learned a lot about federal court procedures as an active member in a class action lawsuit and as the plaintiff in two lawsuits. I learned a lot about arbitration procedures as a grievant four grievances and as a Financial Regulatory Authority arbitrator since 1998).

— Volusia Republican dominance: Gap between GOP, Democrats growing – Mark Harper (DIERSEN: What percent of the voters in your precinct, municipal district, municipality, township, and county a) unethically cast Republican primary ballots to do whatever damage that they can to the Republican Party and b) vote for Democrats in general elections?)
https://www.news-journalonline.com/news/20200211/volusia-republican-dominance-gap-between-gop-democrats-growing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The gap between Republicans and Democrats in Volusia County is now more than 7,000 and growing, as the GOP’s ground game and the demographics of who’s moving to the Daytona Beach area are contributing factors to a reddening county. But for Sunshine State voters who want a say, there is a significant deadline approaching. They must be registered as a Democrat or a Republican by next Tuesday, Feb. 18, in order to vote on March 17. Florida remains a closed-primary state. For presidential preference primaries, NPAs have no say. In Volusia County, more than 3 in 10 registered voters are ineligible to vote for President Trump, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg or anyone else in March. That’s in large part because considerably more and more Floridians are not signing up with the parties.)

Ives said her campaign includes eight paid staff members and is “blessed to have over 300 self-identified volunteers.” She is involved in day-to-day decisions about data collection, fundraising, communications and strategy.)

— Trump Says Vindman Ousted Because He Was ‘Insubordinate’ And ‘Had Problems With Judgement’ – DAVID KRAYDEN (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress a) that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) that after they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” I sued them for political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

THE HILL
— Democrats ramp up attacks on opponents in final pitch before New Hampshire – REBECCA KLAR (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty. I should write a book those who have attacked me and their attacks.)

— ‘Not just chilling but frightening’: Inside Vindman’s ouster amid fears of further retaliation by Trump – David Nakamura and Greg Miller (DIERSEN: The way that employers treat their employees sends strong messages to everyone. I should write a book about the way that GAO, IRS, and the Post Office treated those who shared my demographics. The way that organizations treat their members sends strong messages to everyone. I should write a book about the way that Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC), and American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) treat those who share my demographics and the way that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) treated those who shared my demographics. The way that governments treat their residents sends strong messages to everyone. I should write a book about the way that Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois treat those who share my demographics. I would focus on the adverse actions that GAO, IRS, Post Office, MTRO, DCRCC, IRP, WCC, AAPC, TAPROOT, and ICRC have taken against those who share my demographics. Those adverse actions drive people who share my demographics away from the aforesaid employers, organizations, and governments.)

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
— What Is Conformity? (DIERSEN: I should write a book about what it takes to be accepted. I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Organizations (MTRO) meetings and fundraisers since 1999. I was a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, GAO employee 1980-1997, Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee member 1983-1996, IRS employee 1971-1980, Firestone Stores employee 1970-1972, Post Office Employee 1966-1969, etc.) 
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/conformity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conformity is typically motivated by a person’s identification with a specific group. In theory, to be truly accepted as a member, an individual must adopt the norms and rules that govern the group’s behavior. . .That usually means copying the actions of others, looking to the group when deciding how to think or behave, or doing what is “expected” based on widely accepted (if often unspoken) social norms.)

ROLLING STONE
— Trump ‘Is Not a Racist’ Because the ‘People Who Wash Dishes’ at Mar-a-Lago ‘Love Him,’ Says Ben Carson – PETER WADE (DIERSEN: I washed dishes 1964-1966 for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. My understanding is a) that I was the only White to hold that job, b) that I was the only male to hold that job, and c) that I held that job longer than anyone else.)

RAW STORY
— Trump sets the stage to blame Mitt Romney for possible loss of Republican-controlled Senate in 2020 election – Tom Boggioni (DIERSEN: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois, and especially in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I should write a book about my critics/opponents.)
