HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— When Leaders Are Hired for Talent but Fired for Not Fitting In – Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and Clarke Murphy (DIERSEN: How could you have “fit in” better where you worked? I would have fit in better if I a) had become a Democrat, b) had painted myself as being a yes-man, c) had helped my superiors get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, d) had not complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid, and e) had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my employer with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://hbr.org/2017/06/when-leaders-are-hired-for-talent-but-fired-for-not-fitting-in
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Understand their own organizational culture: Knowing a leader’s motives and values is pointless unless organizations are also able to decode their own culture. Sadly, most organizations underestimate the importance of accurately profiling their culture so they end up relying on intuitive and unrealistic ideas that say more about what they would like to be than what they actually are. This is why a large number of companies today describe themselves as “entrepreneurial,” “innovative,” “results-oriented,” or “diverse,” even when their own employees perceive a very different type of culture. Well-designed climate surveys, which crowdsource people’s views and experiences of the organizational culture, are a much better indicator of a company’s true values than the aspirational competencies curated by senior executives.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— 100 House Democrats voice opposition to Trump’s proposed federal retirement cuts – Nicole Ogrysko (DIERSEN: If I sought a government job or a political job, my “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would viciously demonize me, viciously denigrate me, and viciously condemn me as someone who was in line for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension since 1966 when I was 18 and who has been getting a CSRS pension since 1997 when I was 49.)
https://federalnewsradio.com/congress/2017/06/100-house-democrats-voice-opposition-to-trumps-proposed-federal-retirement-cuts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “These are highly skilled and dedicated public servants,” members of Congress wrote. “Taking their pensions away and gutting their pay would have the effect of pushing those skilled people out of the civil service and impairing the recruitment of new talent.” . . . But these proposals are particularly offensive, lawmakers said, because they would impact current and future retirees, not just prospective federal employees. “This breaks a promise to current federal employees and retirees,” they wrote. “We should not alter policies that families have planned their lives around, particularly when it affects current retirees with limited ability to make up for unforeseen reductions in expected income.” Several federal employee unions and organizations have adamantly voiced their own concerns over the president’s retirement proposals. “In exchange for years of hard work over long careers, our government made a commitment to middle-class federal and postal workers in the form of modest federal pensions in retirement,” the coalition said. “Those pensions are not gifts; they were earned. Diminishing their value in any way for current employees and retirees fails to honor the commitments made to our public servants.”)

The longer that I worked for the federal government, the more that I doubted my Democrat superiors’ respect for federal Civil Service laws, rules, and regulations. If they had respected Civil Service laws, rules and regulations, my Democrat GAO superiors would NOT have forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, would NOT have always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, would have promoted me beyond GS-13, would have assigned me to audits of IRS, and would NOT have forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted me beyond GS-12, would NOT have disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they would NOT have disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would NOT have forced me resign in 1969 and would NOT have disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 or 1968.)

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-15/immigration-not-enough-to-halt-exodus-from-biggest-u-s-cities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Immigration to the U.S. has failed to make up for the number of residents leaving New York, Los Angeles and Chicago — the nation’s top three metropolitan areas. Chicago — beset by crime, economic and budgetary woes and high taxes — is the net exodus leader among 100 metro areas tracked by Bloomberg using Census Bureau data for the year through July 1, 2016. An average 245 local residents left the Windy City each day compared with the arrival of 71 foreigners. Census doesn’t inquire about a person’s citizenship status. As Chicago struggles, so does Illinois. Last year, the net number of business establishments in the Prairie State fell by 1,235 from 2015, the worst performance of any state in the union, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show. For the nation’s third most-populous metropolitan area, foreign immigration “is the only offset we’ve got and it would be tragic to lose,” said Diane Swonk, chief executive and founder of DS Economics in Chicago.)

June 12 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Gambling is a vice. Government should not promote any kind of vice. In its Tuesday, June 13, 2017, morning edition tomorrow, GOPUSA ILLINOIS will report on how each of the 18 DuPage County Board Members voted, and how Chairman Dan Cronin voted if necessary to break a tie, to keep or lift DuPage County’s ban on video gambling in unincorporated areas. They will vote at the DuPage County Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, June 13, 2017, at 7:30 AM. Please join Kathy Gilroy, me, and others who will speak at this meeting in favor of keeping the ban. Based on the minutes of the May 23, 2017 DuPage County Board meeting, a motion will be made at this meeting to refer the matter to another committee. If you are in DuPage County, please email DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the 18 DuPage County Board members, and especially, the 3 board members who represent your district (SEE BELOW), to vote to keep the ban. Needless-to-say, before any vote by the full Board is taken to lift the ban, public hearings should be held in each of the county’s six districts. Will 9 vote to keep the ban and 9 vote to left the ban so that Cronin can break the tie? In 2009, I played a major role in getting the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) to unanimously pass a resolution against video gambling throughout DuPage County. Since then, no MTRCC member has done anything to rescind that resolution. – Dave Diersen

— Mr. Trump Goes After the Inspector Generals – Editorial (DIERSEN: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, I has lots of interactions with employees of Inspector General offices in the Chicago area.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/opinion/mr-trump-goes-after-the-inspectors.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just before the inauguration, Michael Horowitz, chairman of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, was at a hockey game when he began getting calls from other inspectors general in federal agencies. The inspectors — independent officials who investigate waste, misconduct, mismanagement and criminal activity — were furious. Trump aides had let them know they might be replaced; for the first time ever, a president might fire them en masse. The administration later backed down. But it has continued to undermine the inspectors’ role by failing to hire for open positions and planning to slash the offices’ budgets, one of the many ways the White House has found to diminish the oversight functions of the federal government. Every major federal agency and program has an inspector general, a nonpartisan, independent official whose staff investigates cases of wasteful spending, criminal activity, employee misconduct and plain bad management. These are watchdogs with real teeth. Mr. Horowitz, who is also the inspector general at the Department of Justice, recently told Congress that in fiscal 2015 alone, the offices identified $26 billion in potential savings and recovered an additional $10 billion through criminal and civil cases. That’s a return of $14 for every dollar in the offices’ budgets. The list of good works is long and impressive.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Convert, Pay, or Die – William L. Gensert
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/06/convert_pay_or_die.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Convert, pay, or die is the set of choices Islam offers infidels. Coincidentally, this is also what today’s progressives and the Democratic Party offer nonbelievers, climate “deniers,” white males, heterosexuals, patriots, blue-collar workers, farmers, miners, people without a college degree, the religiously devout, Republicans, and everybody else choosing not to buy into the party’s version of what America is and what the nation owes both its citizens and the world. Our country has collectively “slipped into madness.” Hatred in the name of diversity and political unity has become a goal in itself – and it is ascendant in modern culture, all compelled by leftist ideology. No matter how many are killed, maimed, or merely terrified in the name of Allah, for progressives, the problem will always be Islamophobia, or an ignorant populace too uneducated to understand the inherent nuance of the “religion of peace.” Those who suggest enhanced screening for immigrants from Islamic nations or even a limited suspension, as President Trump proposed, are greeted with rioting in the streets, for to look askance at a man who expresses an explicit desire to kill in the name of Allah is tantamount to outright racism. Islamic men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years old commit more than 90% of terrorist attacks. Yet singling out people who fit those criteria for extra scrutiny is profiling and therefore implicit racism deserving of nothing less than outright excommunication from polite society – along with, of course, the total dissolution of one’s life, career, and safety.)

ONE NEWS NOW
— Illinois on verge of becoming sanctuary state #4 – Chad Groening (DIERSEN: One could argue that if Rauner signs SB 31, he has become a Democrat and he told Republicans to buzz off. Will that reelect him in 2018?)
https://www.onenewsnow.com/national-security/2017/06/08/illinois-on-verge-of-becoming-sanctuary-state-4
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An immigration border enforcement advocacy organization hopes the Republican governor of Illinois will veto a bill that would give sanctuary to illegal immigrants in the state. On the last day of its legislative session, the Illinois Legislature sent Governor Bruce Rauner a bill that critics say would tie the hands of law enforcement and significantly undermine federal immigration enforcement in the state. The Trust Act (SB 31) significantly restricts immigration officials’ ability to detain and deport illegal aliens, even if convicted of a crime. Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, argues the bill “essentially declares that Illinois is not going to participate in any way in federal immigration enforcement.” “And they are going to make it has difficult as possible for the federal government itself to enforce immigration laws in the state of Illinois,” he adds. SB 31 – if it becomes law – would make Illinois the fourth sanctuary state in the country, joining Oregon, California, and Connecticut. But Mehlman holds out hope that won’t happen, pointing out that Rauner is a Republican. Mehlman, Ira (Federation for American Immigration Reform)”… It’s now going to be up to him to decide whether this dangerous bill should become law or whether, properly, he should veto it,” says Mehlman. “And that may be a good reason why the people of Illinois elected him to kind of serve as a firewall between the public interest and a legislature that seems to be out of control.” Rauner, who is running for re-election, has not spoken on the Trust Act. He has 60 days to decide whether he will sign it.)

Lockport Police Chief Terry Lemming says since pot was legalized in Colorado, traffic deaths have risen. Marijuana related traffic deaths are up 48-percent, overall 28-percent of traffic deaths are marijuana related while hospitalizations are up 22-percent. Lemming sites studies that suggest marijuana negatively impacts the brain’s of developing teens. Taxing marijuana will have little impact in solving Illinois’ budget crisis. In Colorado, Lemming says marijuana sales account for only one-half of one percent of the revenue in Colorado.)

The down payment came from money that I had saved a) working for IRS first in Chicago and then in Harvey since June of 1971, b) working part-time for Firestone Stores in Chicago Heights since April of 1971, and c) working for Firestone Stores in Chicago Heights full-time between August of 1970 and March of 1971.

— Michael Moore Asks Federal Employees to Blow the Whistle on the Trump Administration – Ian Smith (DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, I blew the whistle on patronage, on political affiliation discrimination, on reverse discrimination, on age discrimination, and on retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid. Because I blew the whistle, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, 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.)

Smith (DIERSEN: My Democrat supervisor during the almost 3 years that I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 disapproved of my demographics, and especially that I was a draft avoider, Republican, German-American, Missouri Synod Lutheran, younger, good health, non-poor, college student, and that my ancestors had been in America since the 1840s. He especially disapproved of the 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, the 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and 1969 Dodge Charger SE that I had bought new and that I used to deliver mail. I requested sick days only twice during the almost 3 years that I worked for him, and of course, he disapproved those requests.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Saving $1 Million for Retirement Is Possible Even If You Start at Age 50 – Jennifer Calfas (DIERSEN: So far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors’ success in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old has cost me $1,424,844, that is, lost salary of $2,429,250 ($10,250/month X 237 months) minus pension payments of $1,004,406 ($4,238/month X 237 months).)
http://time.com/money/4798284/retirement-saving-401k/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The chart below from the AAII shows five different scenarios of how much people can accumulate by saving from age 50 to age 70:
You make the maximum 401(k) contribution, including the catch-up contribution allowed for those 50 or older (a total of $24,000 a year). You make the full $18,000 a year 401(k) contribution, but skip the catch-up provision. You save $1,000 a month (setting aside $12,000 a year). You contribute the maximum to an IRA, including a catch-up contribution ($6,500 per year). You make the maximum $5,500 IRA contribution, but skip the catch-up provision. In each case, Charles Rotblut, a vice president at AAII and editor of the AAII Journal, assumed that you would earn 8% a year from a stock and bond portfolio. The 401(k) and IRA contribution limits are based on the rules for 2017.The projected account balance at 70 years old ranges from $1.3 million for a person who maxes out his or her 401(k) including catch-up contributions to $300,000 for a person who saves only to the basic $5,500 annual IRA limit.)

The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. One reason why the Democrats who ran GAO did not get rid of me sooner than they did in 1997 was that the agency was almost always under hiring freezes.

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that I own six cars: 1972 Chevy Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, 2003 Chevy Cavalier LS, 2005 Chevy Corvette, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, and 2016 Ford Mustang. The vehicles that you own say more about you than anything that you can say about yourself.)

http://www.gopusa.com/?p=25325
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe – it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of extremists.

— Putin denies having compromising information on Trump – REBECCA MORIN (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always ascribed bad judgment and evil motive to everything that say or do and to everything that I do not say or do not do. Of course, they hint/imply/argue/shout that the only reason why I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out is to unethically get and spread compromising information on good individuals, on good organizations, on good companies, on good governments, on good activists, on good candidates, on good elected officials, on good party leaders, on good major donors, on good political consultants, on good etc. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors and.or 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.)

WASHINGTON POST
— White House formally backs plan to send 30,000 federal workers to private corporation – Ashley Halsey III and John Wagner

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House on Monday will formally endorse a plan to spin off more than 30,000 federal workers into a private nonprofit corporation, separating the nation’s air traffic controllers and those who work on a $36 billion modernization program from the Federal Aviation Administration. The Trump administration proposal, which will be presented at the White House later Monday, essentially is an endorsement of a plan that failed to gain sufficient traction in Congress last year.)

— As Seats Go Unfilled on Federal Panels, Businesses Face Uncertainty – Brent Kendall (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.

Democrats run IRS. GAO audits IRS. In 1980, after working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173, I transferred to GAO. Needless-to-say, the Democrats who run GAO and who ran IRS did not want me, a Republican, to be assigned to audits of IRS.)

My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy.

— The Diminishing Returns of a College Degree In the mid-1970s, far less than 1% of taxi drivers were graduates. By 2010 more than 15% were. – Richard Vedder and Justin Strehle (DIERSEN: If I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, Firestone Stores would not have offered me a job in 1970 and Oldsmobile and IRS would not have offered me jobs in 1971. If I had not been taking graduate business classes, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. If I had not earned an MBA in 1976, if I had not been taking graduate accounting classes, and if I had not passed the CPA examination in 1979, GAO would not have offered me a job in 1980. If I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, if I had not passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, if I had not become a licensed CPA in 1981, and if I had not earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986 and GAO would have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did.)

FED SMITH
— Federal Employees: You’re Not Going Anywhere This Year – Michael Wald (DIERSEN: This article hints/implies/argues/shouts that if federal employees quit, they can easily get a comparable or better job in the private sector. However, that might be true only if the employee is a Democrat, a minority, a female, younger, and/or a veteran. Just like the federal government, private sector employers have always been under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote those who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. Another words, the more of the following that a federal employee is, the more likely that they are not going anywhere: Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

To transfer, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $71,326. Many, if not most, if not virtually all for my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should have been forced to suffer a $57,808 (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-4 Step 1, currently $32,365. They demonized, denigrated, and condemned a) my IRS work experience and that much of it was similar to what GAO employees do, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc. They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
