PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE
– How to think about (white) privilege Many in this country are privileged, and get a head start, but it’s not about whiteness – GRAHAM HILLARD (DIERSEN: Who demonizes, denigrates, and condemns you as being privileged? Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that anti-Trumps demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being privileged: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/Op-Ed/2018/09/05/How-to-think-about-white-privilege/stories/201809050052
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some years ago, a friend of mine who was employed by a state indoctrination center (all right, a public school) was made to participate in a faculty-development exercise whose ideological preoccupations are by now familiar. Facing each other in a circle, the assembled teachers were directed to take a step backward whenever they could claim one of the “advantages” read from an administrator’s list. Born in the United States? Take a step. Raised in a two-parent home? Step again. Fortunate enough to attend college? Step once more. Perhaps because my friend was forced to back nearly out of the building, he intuited quickly enough the activity’s message. His middle-class life was no longer to be understood as a product of his (and his parents’) diligence and sacrifice but as something undeserved, ugly, even oppressive.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— Technological Advice for Older Job Seekers These six actions will increase job search success. – Peter A. Gudmundsson (DIERSEN: All those who have worked against me, are working against me, and will work against me promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. I should write a book about those who have worked against me the hardest, are working against me the hardest, and will work against me the hardest.)
https://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/articles/2018-09-07/technological-advice-for-older-job-seekers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since one of the more common justifications for age discrimination in hiring is the assumption that older workers are unskilled at using common technology, experienced job seekers must pay careful attention to their technological footprint and personal brand. By attending to how they appear electronically and virtually, older job seekers will reduce the unfair assumptions that hiring managers might otherwise make about their suitability.)

 

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Trump Administration Fights for Federal Retirees at Supreme Court – Eric Katz (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have demonstrated that they are unable or unwilling to be an employee for any length of time, b) have never been qualified to be a federal employee, c) are filled with hatred against federal retirees, d) are not earning credits toward a pension or getting a pension, and/or e) are not getting or will not get a health insurance subsidy.)
https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2018/09/trump-administration-fights-federal-retirees-supreme-court/151098/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration is standing up for federal retirees in a case before the Supreme Court, arguing they should not face disparate tax treatment compared to their state counterparts. The case involves a precedent known as intergovernmental tax immunity and the 1939 Public Salary Tax Act, which dictates how states can tax government workers. In Dawson v. Steager, a U.S. Marshals Service retiree is suing the state of West Virginia for making the annuities of certain state law enforcement officers tax free, but not granting him the same benefit. The Justice Department this week filed an amicus curiae, or friend of the court brief, in support of James Dawson, the former U.S. Marshals Service employee. Federal law, members of the solicitor general’s office and other department attorneys wrote, prohibits West Virginia from providing tax exemptions for its own employees without also extending them to federal workers.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Our party is united, up and down the ticket,” Pritzker said. “Everywhere we go, local Democratic officials come.” He then took a swipe at his opponent, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. “On the Republican side here in Illinois, Gov. Rauner just barely won his own primary. His primary opponent still has not endorsed him,” Pritzker said, referring to state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton. “There are an awful lot of other Republicans that have not joined together with him. “I think we’re seeing that Democrats are fired up. Democrats are ready to go.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE: Workers at Lincoln Park seniors home stole $600,000 from 97-year-old resident with dementia, public guardian’s suit alleges – Elyssa Cherney and Christy Gutowski (DIERSEN: Since 2009, I have had power of attorney for property and for health for my outstanding aunt who will soon be 88 years old and has a debilitating diagnosis of dementia. She never attended college, she never married, she worked as a low-paid keypunch operator, she lived frugally, and she saved about $600,000 for her retirement. Since 2010, she has lived in an assisted living facility that is currently charging her $239 a day or $87,235 a year. She still has about $470,000 of the about $600,000 that she saved. I can account for all of her income and for all of her expenses since 2009. Of course, I have not charged her anything for the many hours that I have spent managing her financial and health matters. She was one of those who taught me how to drive a car.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-symphony-nursing-home-lawsuit-20180906-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With no living relatives and a debilitating diagnosis of dementia, Grace Watanabe had nowhere else to turn. The 97-year-old needed help with her finances and looked for guidance at Symphony Residences of Lincoln Park, a senior facility where she had been staying since 2010. Watanabe, who was forced to live at a Japanese internment camp during World War II, had built up a life savings of $600,000 over a lengthy career as a federal government employee. But instead of helping Watanabe, a group of workers at the home are accused of draining her assets in a yearlong scheme that included cashing checks, making ATM withdrawals and transferring money online without her consent, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by acting Cook County Public Guardian Charles Golbert. Virtually all of her life savings are gone, the lawsuit said. “I’ve never seen this level of corruption from the very highest levels to the very lowest levels,” Golbert said. “These Symphony employees were paid to assist the residents with the care they needed. Instead, they took advantage of Ms. Watanabe’s vulnerabilities to access her money.”)

In today’s dollars, in 1997, when I was 49 years old, GAO paid me $125,325/year or $60.25/hour. I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO and almost 9 years of experience working for IRS.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Trumpism is taking a toll on Republican races in Illinois, though GOP leaders are optimistic the president’s behavior won’t hurt candidates too much. “His behavior hurts Republicans. You can’t engage in that kind of conduct, those kinds of tweets, and come to a conclusion that it doesn’t hurt Republicans,” said Pat Brady, the former state GOP chair. “But people have been able to differentiate between Trump’s persona and his policies” of tax cuts and deregulation. “People make the distinction.” Recent polls may be showing otherwise. Last night, the New York Times conducted a so-called live poll in suburban Chicago’s 6th Congressional District. Incumbent Rep. Peter Roskam (R) took 45 percent to Sean Casten (D)’s 44 percent—with 11 percent undecided. Respondents also were asked whether they approve or disapprove of Trump’s job performance—57 percent disapproved, compared to 36 percent who approved. That’s quite a drag on Roskam. It’s one of the reasons that, earlier this week, POLITICO’s inaugural congressional race ratings categorized Roskam v. Casten as “lean Republican,” a designation suggesting the incumbent only has a narrow edge. Three other Republican-controlled Illinois House races showed up on the list as “lean Republican”: Rep. Mike Bost (R) v. Brendan Kelly (D) in the 12th District; Rep. Rodney Davis (R) v. Betsy Dirksen Londrigan (D) in the 13th District; and Rep. Randy Hultgren (R) v. Lauren Underwood (D) in the 14th District. – Shia Kapos

However, they should acknowledge that if I was still working for GAO at the GS-13 Step 10 level, I would have paid $182,039 more into the CSRS in today’s dollars and the CSRS would have paid me nothing.)

FED SMITH
— Would You Recommend the Government as an Employer? – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn past, present, and future federal employees. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible compared to big private sector employers, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible compared to big private sector employers, 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. 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 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) 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.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/09/06/recommend-government-employer/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why the Government is Not a Good Employer Bureaucracy There are rules for the rules. Bureaucratic hurdles can be maddening to folks who are trying to get work done. While there may be good reasons for some of the red tape, much of it is the variety that no one in the private sector would impose. Inflexible Pay About three quarters of the workforce is covered by the General Schedule or a GS-derived pay plan. Once an employee is hired, pay raises follow rigid rules that do not take into account how well or poorly the employee performs. Entry level pay for high demand jobs may not be competitive, and bonuses for most workers are insignificant. There are no stock options or other pay incentives, and an employee who saves millions of dollars may get a bonus that is trivial. Slow Promotions Great employees whose performance is exceptional can typically be promoted no more than once per year. That unnecessary restriction can drive great employees away, or cause great candidates to decline a federal job. Politics The biggest problem may be our toxic political system. Federal workers have been the targets of opportunistic politicians for years. A great example is those on the right and left calling federal law enforcement officers “jackbooted thugs” at different times in the past 20 years and more recent complaints about Transportation Security Officers calling them “government gropers.” Internal Revenue Service employees are criticized for doing their jobs, and every ten years Census Bureau enumerators are physically attacked while they are carry out a constitutional duty. Then there are the complaints about government workers calling them lazy, incompetent or unable to find “real jobs.”)

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE
— Congress must grow to check the administrative state – James C. Capretta (DIERSEN: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the agency shrank in either absolute or relative terms. The agency is just a shell of what it once was.)
http://www.aei.org/publication/congress-must-grow-to-check-the-administrative-state/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congress could begin to reassert itself by building stronger institutional support for the development of specific legislative responses to emerging issues and problems. The existing congressional support agencies — the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Congressional Research Service (CRS), and the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (Medpac) — have real strengths and expertise. They provide regular, highly valuable reports to Congress, and, in the cases of GAO and Medpac, make relevant recommendations for legislation to Congress. But because these agencies are designed to provide nonpartisan support to Congress, neither party relies on them heavily to develop new policy initiatives that could serve as the basis for legislation. When Republicans and Democrats write bills to address emerging issues, they want ideas that are technically sound, of course, but they also want to champion changes that conform to their philosophical approaches to governing. Congress shouldn’t breach the political independence of the traditional support agencies; they provide objective analysis and should be above the partisan fray. Instead, Congress should look to expand support for their legislative efforts by building new pockets of institutional support that combine technical expertise in key issue areas with a policy development mission.)

There was what amounted to an attempted hijack of the funeral of an authentic war hero and prominent senator, to convert it into an expression of anger and of contempt for the absent president. This campaign was torqued up all week by the Trump-hating media, who then gave maximum play to the gratuitous shots of Obama and Meghan McCain.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— More Americans are delaying retirement. But finding jobs when older isn’t so easy – LORI WEISBERG and MIKE FREEMAN (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, age discrimination has never existed, does not exist, and will never exist. According to my critics/opponents, if you have employment problems or other problems in life, those problems are never caused by age discrimination or by your complaining about age discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if you have employment problems or other problems in life, it is because you are stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against because I am stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things.

Should I sue my critics/opponents?)
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-older-workers-20180903-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a master’s degree in computer science and 30 years of experience working for technology companies, Tom Middleton had little doubt he would soon find new employment after losing his job a decade ago as a software engineering manager at Kyocera in San Diego. How wrong he was. After two years of submitting more than 300 applications for tech jobs and scoring only an occasional face-to-face interview, the then-59-year-old Middleton became convinced his age was a hindrance. He would hear feedback like “You’re overqualified” and “We can’t pay you what you’re used to.” As money grew tighter, house payments were missed and 401(k) savings were exhausted, he took minimum-wage jobs at Target and Walmart and tried his hand at income tax preparation. On a whim, he applied for a job as a bus driver — and was hired, now earning less than half his former six-figure salary. “I had some days where I just wanted to crawl in a hole,” Middleton, now 66, said of his job search. “I thought I’d be a bargain to someone, but they didn’t see it that way.” A growing share of baby boomers is opting to work well into what traditionally would be their retirement years, but the challenges of remaining employed or reentering the workforce at an older age, even in today’s tight labor market, haven’t necessarily eased. And even as Labor Department data show more people 55 and older are employed than ever before and have a lower jobless rate — 3.1%, compared with 3.9% for all workers — they remain out of work longer than their younger peers when they lose a job. On average, they’re jobless for about 37 weeks, compared with 25 weeks for workers ages 35 to 44, according to 2017 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Their hourly pay also starts to decline as they enter their 60s, regardless of how much education they have.)

He was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never worked outside our home until my father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. She never attended high school. I would have gotten nowhere in life if I had not earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

— Labor Day fun mixes with politics at Chicago area parades, festivals – Michelle Gallardo and Craig Wall (DIERSEN: Republicans who participated in the parade included Mr. & Mrs. Rauner, Mr. & Mrs. Roskam, Sanguinetti, Connelly, Oberweis, Olsen, Senger, Wehrli, Anderson, Boltz, Cantore, Carlyle, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Gustin, Hogan, Keller, Lowe, MacKay, Mendrick, Monino, Prater, Rash, Ruhl, and Smith.)
https://abc7chicago.com/politics/labor-day-fun-mixes-with-politics-at-parades-festivals-/4137452/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The sound of music from marching bands filled the air in Naperville as thousands of people lined the streets to wave flags and cheer as they say their unofficial goodbye to summer. But with the drums of the November election beating louder every day, politicians were shifting gears into their busy season. Governor Rauner was shaking hands, and shaking off any talk of him not being for Illinois workers. “We’ve lost a lot of good paying jobs in this state for decades, we’ve been one of the slowest growing states and now the state’s around us are growing their union jobs and all their good paying jobs much faster than Illinois. We’ve got to be pro-worker by being pro-growth, pro-investment and pro-job creation,” Rauner said. JB Pritzker, Rauner’s rival, attacked the governor for his anti-union efforts at a labor picnic in Rock Island. “He’s about getting rid of unions, he’s about lowering the standard of living of people across the state of Illinois. We’ve got to create jobs in the state there’s no doubt about it, but if we don’t preserve our labor unions while we’re creating jobs we’re doing it wrong,” Pritzker said. In the 6th District Congressional race, which Democrats nationally have targeted to flip, Sean Casten was apologizing for comments that surfaced last week where he was heard comparing President Trump to Osama Bin Laden – but he was not apologizing for the underlying message. “We should be very afraid of a President who uses the tool that demagogues throughout history have used to say, if you are afraid, if you are disempowered, your problem is someone who doesn’t look like you and I’ll fix that,” Casten said. Incumbent Peter Roskam, who championed the President’s tax cut earlier this year, said he was not taking this race for granted. “But I think my opponent has a lot to answer for comparing the President to Osama Bin Laden and advocating nearly every tax hike conceivable,” Roskam said.)

https://willcountygazette.com/stories/511548567-crete-monee-community-unit-school-district-201u-students-suspended-1-815-times-in-a-single-school-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Monee Community Unit School District 201U reported 1,815 suspensions for 2016-17, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education. The district transferred six students to another program instead of suspending or expelling them. According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 1,815 students during the year. That equates to 37 percent of the 4,910 students enrolled. Of the 1,108 in-school suspensions, 774 were given to boys and 334 were given to girls, including 781 elementary or middle schoolers and 327 high schoolers. The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons. The category includes 1,092 incidents. There were six incidents of tobacco. For 924 incidents, students were suspended for a day or less. Of the 707 out-of-school suspensions, 504 were given to boys and 203 were given to girls, including 456 elementary or middle schoolers and 251 high schoolers. The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons. The category includes 672 incidents. There were 17 incidents of drugs. For 325 incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.)

DAILY CALLER
— THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HOLD MORE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ACCOUNTABLE FOR MISCONDUCT – Rep. Louie Gohmert, Texas 1st District (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. While my Democrat superiors in the federal government never charged me with “misconduct” or “ineptitude” or being a “bad actor,” my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that misconduct and ineptitude and being a bad actor were the reasons why they took adverse actions against me, and a) NOT because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) NOT because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/03/more-federal-employees-accountable-for-misconduct/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In our current system, the process for removing these bad actors is nearly impossible. According to data obtained by FedScope, only 0.5 percent of federal employees have been fired in recent years for poor performance or misconduct. Meanwhile, a 2015 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report revealed that once a decision is made to fire a federal employee, removing them from office can take between six months to a year, if not longer. Draining the swamp is not just fiscally responsible, it is absolutely essential to creating a lasting climate of accountability in our nation’s capital – which is the real battle we are fighting. Washington dysfunction runs deep. True change must uproot systemic injustices and remove those in government who perpetuate them. Meanwhile, all of us in government must begin insisting upon excellence and stop incentivizing ineptitude. This is the essence of the MERIT (Modern Employment Reform, Improvement, and Transformation) Act — a piece of legislation I am proud to co-sponsor. The MERIT Act allows for the expedited removal of federal employees who have either engaged in misconduct or who are failing to perform their duties. It also expedites the appeals process in the event these employees protest their termination.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Mexican flag flies proudly over town where illegal alien killed Mollie Tibbetts – Ed Straker
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/09/mexican_flag_flies_proudly_over_town_where_illegal_alien_killed_mollie_tibbetts.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When an invading army captures a town, they usually run up the flag, to show who’s in charge. But in America, we don’t need an occupying army. We do it to ourselves. Witness the town of Brooklyn, Iowa, where Mollie Tibbetts was murdered by an illegal alien, which proudly flies the flag of Mexico. According to the liberal media, Brooklyn was one big happy multicultural town, until conservatives ruined it by complaining about the illegal alien who murdered Mollie. Really. …police found Tibbetts’s body discarded in a cornfield. They charged Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a local farmhand, with her murder. And they announced that Rivera, who had no prior criminal history, was an undocumented Mexican immigrant. For most people in Brooklyn, though, Rivera’s legal status is a distraction. This time should be about Mollie, they say, not the man accused of killing her. This is the liberal line. On the statistically rare occasions when a white person kills a black, the liberal media can talk about nothing else other than the race of the accused. But when an illegal alien does the killing, they don’t want to talk about perpetrators. They treat it like the weather. It’s just something that happens.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— The Democratic game plan – Robert Knight
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/2/as-democrats-move-left-they-must-replace-the-ameri/
(
FROM THE ARTICLE: The “progressives”’ game plan to re-acquire power in Washington and make it permanent has been shockingly obvious for some time: Import millions of illegal immigrants, hook them on government aid and turn them into voters — legally or illegally. Two Democrats running for Congress in Texas have come out for decriminalizing illegal immigration, along with Beto O’Rourke, who is running for Ted Cruz’s U.S. Senate seat. Virtually all Democratic office holders oppose voter ID laws. In March, Nation magazine writer Sean McElwee called for abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), a demand repeated by “progressives” around the country. The Washington Post has editorialized against adding a question about citizenship to the U.S. Census, saying it looks “suspiciously like an underhanded way to depress Democratic representation in Washington.” Districts with high numbers of illegal aliens who cannot legally vote have an advantage because the Census determines congressional seats and presidential electors based on population. So, the more illegals, the merrier for Democrats. The Dems must replace the American electorate because their plunge into “free” government health care, “free” college tuition, open borders, confiscatory taxes, anti-police rhetoric, activist judges and bizarre sexual politics is alienating more and more “everyday” Americans. The left needs new voting blocs. It’s the only way they’ll stay competitive, especially when the Trump administration has the economy roaring like a Ferrari. Millions of evangelical Christians and moderate-to-conservative Catholics voted for Mr. Trump because they saw him as their best bet against a hostile Deep State and its media allies. Portions of the IRS, the FBI and other federal agencies had been criminally politicized under President Obama, and Hillary Clinton would have finished the job. With state power unchecked since the Reagan years, Uncle Sam has morphed into Nurse Ratched, presiding over a giant sanitarium. That’s the issue ignored by the media: Democrats are at war with normalcy of any kind and want to impose their cracked view of reality on the rest of us.)

Should I sue them?)
https://reason.com/archives/2018/08/28/how-trustworthy-does-facebook-think-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One new tool in Facebook’s bag of anti-“misinformation” tricks definitely ticks the “creep box”: Last week, the Washington Post reported that Facebook has been planning to assign a “trustworthiness score” for users on their platform for around a year. Users who are believed to more accurately flag news stories as valid or not will be given a higher score, while users suspected of flagging stories out of revenge or distaste—and thereby throwing off the algorithm—will be given a goose egg. The scale ranges from 0 to 1, and the system is now reportedly coming online. The new system is framed as a necessary augmentation of Facebook’s previous forays into third party-guided media ranking. In addition to partnering with self-deputized “fact-checkers” like PolitiFact and Snopes.com, Facebook created a button for average users to report when a story was “fake news.” The idea was that human feedback, provided by both “experts” and the wisdom of the crowds, would supplement the brittle fallibility of algorithms, leading to a better overall curation of what is being shared on Facebook.)
