IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.

— Why affirmative action could prevent lost talent in economics – HAL WEITZMAN (DIERSEN: Because federal employees and federal retirees are viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned, it was extremely difficult for my Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors to hire and retain qualified minorities, qualified females, qualified younger people, and qualified veterans. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.

According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I had were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

— Supreme Court issues stinging defeat to unions – CARLOS GARCIA (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonstrated their hatred of unions, of former union members, of current union members, and of future union members the most. I would focus on those who stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years of the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government. My Democrat superiors took many adverse actions against me. GAO did not unionize until 2007. I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Had GAO had been unionized, my Democrat GAO superiors might very well have not been able to a) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promote me beyond GS-13, e) get rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) force me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— AARP Applauds U.S. House Vote on Bipartisan Bill to Combat Age Bias. Legislation Restores Longstanding Legal Protections for Older Workers.

They stress that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors did not promote me to GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. They ignore/belittle the fact that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They stress that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They hint/imply/argue/shout that the aforesaid was not because of political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, but because I am an extremely bad person. They ignore/belittle the fact that I 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. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I had the aforesaid degrees, professional certifications, and professional license and IRS and GAO still got rid of me proves that I have always been an extremely bad person. They stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran and that I am 100% German American. In my defense, I have been married since 1978 and I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants 1983-1996.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The Illinois Republican Party feted RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel at the venerable Sangamo Club in Springfield on Monday for a fundraiser with Reps. Rodney Davis and Darin LaHood. The big applause of the event came when McDaniel took a “Fire Pritzker” bumper sticker and told a staffer to make sure to get one for her office. Also spotted: Republican gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine, Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie, and state Reps. Mike Murphy and Dan Caulkins. . .Republican Rep. Deanne Mazzochi (47th) has donated $150,000 to her campaign fund, according to the State Board of Elections. That doesn’t exceed the contribution caps since those limits don’t start until 12 months before an election. And since the 2022 primary is June 28, she’s all clear with the big gift. – SHIA KAPOS

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s no parade this year, and even if there were, my uniform wouldn’t be invited.

New York, Vancouver and Denver followed suit. You can be proud of yourself, but not your badge.)

According to Democrats, if you are a Republican, your forefathers’ biggest sin was immigrating to America and the earlier that they immigrated, the bigger the sin. When did your ancestors immigrate? Mine immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany. In their defense, they always stayed in northeast Illinois.)

If you have more money than your peers, what do your critics/opponents attribute that to? According to my critics/opponents, I have more money than my peers a) because I have had better health than my peers, b) because I avoided the draft, c) because the federal government grossly overpaid me, d) because of my wife’s income, e) because we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, f) because my federal retirement benefits are too generous, g) because I do not give money to a church, h) etc. In my defense, I 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.

What paid parade entries will be in the parade?)

A concept developed by academics in the 1970s has triggered political debate and controversy in everything from school curricula to workforce trainings. – Joshua Jamerson (DIERSEN: Democrats use Critical Race Theory and 1619 to promote hatred against Republicans.

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Koch Network Says Congress Must Make Amnesty for Illegals a Priority – Eric Lendrum (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders should not seek or accept money from major donors who reject planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write a book about Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who talk and/or act like they seek and/or accept lots of money from major donors who reject the aforesaid planks. Of course, those major donors want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Of course, those major donors want the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois to get rid of me. Everyone sees how the aforesaid organizations and governments treat me and treat my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)

CITY OF WHEATON
— Groups Invited to Register for Independence Day Parade The Wheaton Park District’s Independence Day Parade is back! The City of Wheaton is excited to welcome back this community tradition and encourages community groups, churches and businesses to help make this the best parade yet by being a participant. The parade will be at 11 a.m. Sunday, July 4, marching down Main Street and finishing near Memorial Park. Find out more about registration on the Wheaton Park District’s website, and we will see you at the parade! (DIERSEN: Are political organizations and candidates encouraged to have entries? It would be great if the Wheaton Park District (WPD) would publish its sponsorship policy. Are all sponsors banned, or just DuPage Republicans? Will parade entries include bagpipers and the high school bands, and if not, why not? What parade entries have come in so far? How much money does the WPD have available for paid parade entries? Is it just the $10,000 that the City of Wheaton gave the WPD for paid parade entries? What paid parade entries will be in the parade?)
