HERALD REVIEW
— Rep. Mitchell, GOP group say no ‘chosen candidate’ for 101st House – RYAN VOYLES  (DIERSEN: Who does the choosing of candidates and who are the chosen candidates in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  Many would argue, that because of his total domination of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), that Bruce Rauner does all the choosing of Republican candidates in Illinois. Of course, that encourages candidates to pander to Rauner, to serve as operatives for Rauner, and to serve as dupes for Rauner. Of course, that encourages candidates to dump those planks in the IRP platform that Rauner has dumped.  Of course, that encourages everyone to dump those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that Rauner has dumped. Of course, that hastens the collapse of the IRP.  According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dues, Rauner has dumped me.  They stress that Rauner does not read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  They hint/imply/argue/shout that no one who Rauner listens to reads GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)

ILLINOIS CHRONICLE
— Sen. Sam McCann: Latest moderate Republican targeted by Rauner  (DIERSEN: Who do you “fall in line” with? Who targets you and why? I should write a book about activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who target me because I do not “fall in line” with them. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
https://theillinoischronicle.com/chronicle-latest-moderate-republican-targeted-by-rauner/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rauner, who has almost exclusively personally funded the Illinois Republican Party, holds considerable leverage over lawmakers who defy him, which has until now led lawmakers to fall in line. He has another $70 million in his personal campaign fund, much of which has come from the Governor himself, that he could also use to target lawmakers who crossed him. In 2016, Rauner invested heavily in the race seeking to oust McCann, but ultimately McCann prevailed. The race was the most expensive primary race in Illinois history, costing $4.2 million. “I’m being attacked because I did what was right for this district,” McCann said at the time.)

I was available to work Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, holidays, and every day that NIU was not in session. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. After 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear that they would not promote me any more. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. After 1986, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would not promote any more. My Democrat GAO superiors always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

— President Trump Said DACA Recipients ‘Have Nothing to Worry About.’ That’s Not Exactly True – Maya Rhodan  (DIERSEN: What have you had to worry about? Because I have always been a Republican, while I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, I always had to worry about what my Democrat superiors would do next to get rid of me. To counter their efforts to get rid of me, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970 when I was 21 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.)

— National Treasury Employees Union launches campaign to remind voters federal employees work for them, not politicians – David Thornton  (DIERSEN: I was a NTEU member 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under pressure from Democrat politicians a) to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who were minority, female, and/or younger and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Escaping retirement change: Can you beat the clock? – Mike Causey  (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is based on my highest three-year average salary. For me, that was 1995, 1996, and 1997.  My salary would have been much higher during those years if my Democrat GAO superiors had not stopped from being promoted beyond GS-13 and had not always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of all the threats that have faced the federal retirement program over many years the one that seems to frighten feds the most is the proposal to change the formula used to compute their future annuities. Under the current system, pensions are based on the employee’s length of service (time in government) and highest three-year average salary. Once again, the administration is talking (key word talking) about changing that formula to use the employee’s highest five-year average salary.)
