NEW YORK TIMES
— Action to Protect Young Immigrants Already Stumbles in Congress – YAMICHE ALCINDORSE (DIERSEN: What has protected you? Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.  But civil service protections did no stop my a) Democrat GAO superiors from forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting 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 forcing me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors from not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974; c) my Democrat Post Office superiors from forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

My outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) 1966-1968 while I attended UIC, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. I graduated debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

When did your ancestors immigrate to America? All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps shout that the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against women and b) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. How soon, if not already, will anti-Trumps call for the deportation of all those whose ancestors a) immigrated to America before the Civil War and/or b) lived anywhere in America where slavery was legal?)

A provision within the bill allows for scholarship eligibility to students in select “focus districts” in the state, including several in DuPage County.)

Because of that, a) 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; b) my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

WASHINGTON POST
— Federal employees’ charitable giving reflects worry; reciting oath on video reflects pride and Trump counterpoint – Joe Davidson  (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Their top priority is to hire, to retain, and to promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, and/or younger. Of course, they are anti-Trump, and their giving more money to ACLU, SPLC, NRDC, Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, and National Park Foundation proves it.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/09/11/feds-charitable-giving-reflects-worry-reciting-oath-on-video-reflects-pride/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oath for Federal Employees: “I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” . . . An analysis of contributions to the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), an umbrella charitable effort for federal employees, demonstrates “federal donors clearly reacted to the election of Trump in 2016, providing several charities with a sizable Anti-Trump bounce in their pledge results,” Marshall Strauss, chief executive of the Workplace Giving Alliance, said in an email Friday to his board of directors. The Alliance is a coalition of CFC organizations and reports on federal employee giving. “For example,” Strauss continued, “the American Civil Liberties Union [Foundation] was up almost 400 percent in comparison with its 2015 CFC results, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) saw its pledge number jump by 345 percent, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) saw its pledge total jump 180 percent.” These organizations have taken principled stands against Trump’s harmful policies: ACLU says Trump wants to “Enshrine a Business Right to Discriminate Into the Constitution.” SPLC President Richard Cohen wrote about “the malignant bigotry at the heart of President Trump’s agenda.” NRDC tracks “Trumps attacks on the environment.” Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club and the National Park Foundation also received significantly more in donations, according to the report.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I have the utmost respect for Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions, but I’m troubled by his Department’s lack of action to fully respond to our request and deliver accountability,” Brady said in a statement. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) was just as peeved, calling the DOJ’s decision a “miscarriage of justice.” This is the second time Lerner has escaped accountability for the Tea Party-targeting scandal. Back in 2015, she was cleared of charges. An investigation found rampant “mismanagement” within the IRS, but no evidence of criminal activity.)

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.”)

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.)

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.)
https://federalnewsradio.com/mike-causey-federal-report/2017/09/escaping-retirement-change-can-you-beat-the-clock/
(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.)

DAILY HERALD
— Governor’s dress code  Hat tip to Democratic state Sen. Cristina Castro of Elgin for noticing a literal costume change on the Senate floor involving Gov. Bruce Rauner during the special session last week, where lawmakers approved education funding.

— Trump tweets reassurance about DACA at Pelosi’s urging – AP  (DIERSEN: What gave you assurance?  For me, because I was a Republican who worked for Democrats, it was civil service protections.  Were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.  But those civil service protections a) did NOT stop my Democrat GAO superiors from forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond GS-13, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) did NOT stop my Democrat IRS superiors from not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) did NOT stop my Democrat Post Office superiors from forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— A dream deferred? For this young architect, the answer could be yes – RAFAEL ROBLES  (DIERSEN: Were your career dreams deferred?  If so, when?  In 1969, when I was 20 years old, my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign saying I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. 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.”)

DAILY CALLER
— Rahm Emmanuel’s Dream Of A ‘Trump-Free Chicago’ Isn’t Going To Happen – Anders Hagstrom  (DIERSEN: Constructively, Emmanuel and Chicago have declared war on America.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/07/rahm-emmanuels-dream-of-a-trump-free-chicago-isnt-going-to-happen/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner rejected Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel’s call for a bill of rights for immigrants Wednesday, claiming that only Congress could pass such a law. Emmanuel called for the bill of rights after declaring Chicago a “Trump-free zone” Tuesday in response to President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the Chicago Tribune reported. While Rauner denied Emmanuel’s request, the governor was not opposed to further protections for illegal immigrants. Instead, he called on Congress to take action. “I do not believe this challenge for these children can be addressed on a state-by-state basis,” Rauner said. “I think that would not be correct, would not be the right solution. We need a comprehensive immigration reform. It should be done on the federal level for the entire nation, and it should be done by Congress.” Rauner signed legislation to make Illinois a “sanctuary state” last week, preventing law enforcement from arresting illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. But after the Trump administration’s DACA repeal announcement, Emmanuel wasn’t satisfied. The mayor filed a resolution with the Chicago City Council Wednesday, calling on Rauner to adopt a bill of rights for “Dreamers.” He made the announcement at Solorio Academy High School, where more than one third of the students are illegal immigrants. “Chicago, our schools, our neighborhoods, our city, as it relates to what President Trump said, will be a Trump-free zone. You have nothing to worry about,” Emanuel said while visiting the high school. “And I want you to know this, and I want your families to know this. And rest assured, I want you to come to school … and pursue your dreams.”)

http://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20170906/bernard-schoenburg-pritzker-called-schaive-about-deplorable-idot-firing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Controversy over past Illinois Department of Transportation hiring — and some dismissals made by Gov. BRUCE RAUNER’s administration in response — got prominent play at a campaign stop in Springfield last week by Democratic governor candidate J.B. PRITZKER. BRAD SCHAIVE, business manager of Laborers Local 477, helped introduce Pritzker when the candidate and his running mate, state Rep. JULIANA STRATTON, D-Chicago, stopped Friday at the local’s headquarters in the capital city as part of a bus tour. While an elected official should have strength and leadership, Schaive said, “it’s hard to have any of those other qualities unless you have compassion.” Schaive recalled that his wife, MELISSA, was among eight people the Rauner administration laid off from IDOT in July. The administration said at the time there was a “lack of work” for those let go, and a spokeswoman also said the action was “cleaning up past hiring mistakes and personnel practices.” Melissa Schaive had been with the state since 2003 and made $73,860 annually as an information technology procurement analyst. She also got a liver transplant last year and still needs a kidney transplant. Lawyers for Teamsters local 916 are working to overturn the termination. Schaive told the 250 people gathered Friday that she “lost her job because she chose to take my last name,” and because in his labor job, he “helps those who collectively speak.”)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— Get ready for the next round in the battle over the Vietnam War – James Reston Jr.  (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who since 1966 have hinted/implied/argued/shouted at everyone that the United States lost the Vietnam War because of draft avoiders like me.  I sought and obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.)
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-reston-vietnam-refought-20170903-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICE: There are two Vietnam wars, and the second is still going 40 years after the first ended. The United States fought the first one from 1959 to 1975 in the jungles, villages and airspace of Indochina. The second is the war over how that war, the first lost war in America’s national history, is remembered. This month, as Ken Burns’ 10-part Vietnam documentary is aired on PBS, the second conflict is sure to heat up again with renewed intensity. The positions will be fiercely argued. What was the war good for? Absolutely nothing, as the 1970 song put it? Or was it a heroic cause? The most important — and poignant — group who will offer answers to these questions is Vietnam veterans themselves.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Some in GOP upset with Rauner over immigration bill – Bernard Schoenburg  (DIERSEN: Those in Illinois who are upset with Rauner are the 2,146,015 who voted for Trump.  Obviously, Rauner’s advisers want Rauner to run as an anti-Trump, that is, as an anti-Republican.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170904/some-in-gop-upset-with-rauner-over-immigration-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, noted that President Donald Trump easily won the 15th Congressional District — and many parts of Illinois outside Chicago — with many voters choosing Trump for his immigration policy. “Yet what the governor has done is support codifying illegal immigration,” McCarter said. “This means a lot to people. Trust is a hard thing to re-establish once you’ve lost it.” . . . McCarter said he was one of three Republican senators who endorsed Rauner during the 2014 primary. “I made the case with social conservatives that look to me for leadership that what had been done in the past decade was fiscally immoral,” McCarter said. “Therefore, we counted on him to right the ship, fiscally, (and) make it better for families. Yet in this situation, he has chosen to support those that are illegal over the safety of the citizens that are here.” McCarter noted that he’s disagreed with some other measures signed by Rauner, including a bill that would make it easier for transgender people to change the sex listed on their birth certificate without requiring transition surgery. “There’s only so much that you can deviate from the platform of the party, and he’s done that,” McCarter said. “This Senate Bill 31 could be the final straw.” . . . Rosanna Pulido of Springfield hasn’t been a fan of Rauner, who she said has “never been a Republican.” She has been deeply involved in trying to stop illegal immigration including being a “minuteman” on the Arizona-Mexico border in 2005. She is also traveling to Washington, D.C., this week to with “a group of people who have had loved ones killed by illegal aliens” to push legislation to cut off federal funds going to sanctuary cities or states. She said victim family members “tried several times” to contact Rauner through his office, and “each time they were turned away.” Kukowski’s response did not address questions about Pulido’s assertion about the attempts to set up a meeting. “A lot of conservative Republicans are looking for a new home,” said Pulido, who unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. House in the 5th Congressional District in 2010.”)

— Immigrant tale twists branches of Bruce Rauner’s family tree – Matt Dietrich, Bob Secter
http://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2017/sep/05/bruce-rauner/rauner-trims-twists-branches-his-family-tree-immig/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First, a little context. Bruce Rauner grew up in the upscale North Shore suburbs of Deerfield and Lake Forest as well as Scottsdale, Ariz., and his father was a high-ranking executive at electronics giant Motorola. Rauner went to Ivy League colleges, became enormously wealthy as a private equity investor and was the owner of nine luxury homes and ranches when he launched his campaign. His campaign was clearly sensitive to how that might play with voters as it sought from the first to portray him as a regular guy. Early campaign ads featured Rauner with his $18 Timex watch and a two-decade old family van that he said his children dubbed the “rolling trash can.” The Chicago Tribune asked in 2014 about comparisons to wealthy private equity investor turned politician Mitt Romney, and Rauner bristled: “He came across as a blue blood, I’m a regular guy. I drink beer. I don’t drink Courvoisier or whatever the hell that stuff is. I drink beer and I smoke a cigar and I ride a Harley and I love to fish.” . . . Records from U.S. Censuses taken between 1910 and 1940, the latest year publicly available, clearly show that both of Rauner’s maternal grandparents were born in Wisconsin — Clarence Erickson in 1901 and Viola Erickson (nee Wedin) in 1900.  In other words, neither of them were immigrants. What’s more, the census shows that Viola’s mother — Rauner’s great-grandmother — was also born in Wisconsin. Viola’s father, while born in Sweden, emigrated to the U.S. at age 6 in 1868. As for Clarence, the census describes him as speaking English and having a seventh grade education. In the 1940 count, his profession was listed as “buttermaker.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— With DACA decision soon, immigration activists march to keep program intact – Nereida Moreno  (DIERSEN: Those who promote DACA say “Si se puede” (Spanish for “Yes, we can”) and Trump “makes a mockery” of the nation and “No matter who is in the White House, no matter who is in Congress, you were here before them and you will be here after them” and “Chicago is committed to being a welcoming city to everyone who wants to be here” and “This is our country. This is our home. A lot of us don’t even know what our native countries look like” and “We are asking everyone to please come together and help us to fight to stay in this country” and “At the end of the day, Dreamers are Americans too” and “Now we wait another day to see if the Trump administration will make 800,000 Dreamers outlaws with the stroke of a pen.”)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-daca-march-chicago-0904-20170903-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than 200 people marched 4 miles Sunday from a park in the Pilsen neighborhood toward U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in the South Loop to support the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program now under review by the Trump administration. Immigration advocates and supporters from several groups, including Black Lives Matter Chicago and Refuse Fascism, gathered at Harrison Park and chanted “Si se puede” (Spanish for “Yes, we can”) as they marched up 18th Street toward the Loop, calling on President Donald Trump to save the program created by the Obama administration that shields young immigrants from deportation and provides work permits for employment. Ald. Raymond Lopez, 15th, addressed the crowd and called on the country to be united, “regardless of color and origin.” He said Trump “makes a mockery” of the nation. “No matter who is in the White House, no matter who is in Congress, you were here before them and you will be here after them,” Lopez said. “Chicago is committed to being a welcoming city to everyone who wants to be here.” Karen Ramirez, 26, a Pilsen resident and DACA recipient, said she and fellow program recipients are productive members of society who are fighting for the chance to stay in America because they consider it home. “This is our country. This is our home. A lot of us don’t even know what our native countries look like,” Ramirez said. “We are asking everyone to please come together and help us to fight to stay in this country,” she said. “At the end of the day, Dreamers are Americans too.” Cecilia Garcia, a local immigration activist, said the program recipients are marching to mobilize their allies and to let the president know that there will be resistance if he moves to cancel the program. “Now we wait another day to see if the Trump administration will make 800,000 Dreamers outlaws with the stroke of a pen,” she said. The rally was organized by Familia Latina Unida. Former President Barack Obama launched the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012 for people who have been in the U.S. since 2007, were younger than 16 at the time of their arrival and were younger than 31 as of 2012. Those enrolled can legally drive and work, but they must reapply every two years. They are considered a low priority for immigration enforcement, though they are not protected from deportation. The Trump administration has until Tuesday to eliminate the program or face legal action from a group of Republican state lawmakers. Illinois has the nation’s fourth-largest population of DACA recipients — the highest share in the Midwest. At least 42,376 Illinoisans have been approved since March 31, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Current students, high school or GED course graduates and veterans are eligible for the program. They must be at least 15 to apply, unless they’re in removal proceedings or have a final removal or voluntary departure order. Immigrants who have committed a serious crime, have more than two misdemeanor convictions or are deemed to be a threat to national security are automatically disqualified. Nationally, about 68 percent of eligible immigrants have applied for the program since 2012, according to the Migration Policy Institute. More than 886,000 people have applied and 787,580 have been approved. The White House said a decision will be announced Tuesday.)

— Donald Trump Holds Dreamers’ Future in His Hands – Jonathan Blitzer  (DIERSEN: Who held your future in their hands?  Democrats run the federal government.  Those Democrats held my future in their hands 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. Because I have always been a Republican, they wasted my career and got rid of me. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My Democrat IRS superiors 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 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. They would not taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)
