— JPMorgan Pressed by Senate Democrats on Racial Discrimination Reports –
Reuters (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast a) how Democrat politicians
defend their constituents and with b) how Republican politicians defend their
constituents. My critics/opponents can stress how, aside from Henry Hyde’s
coming to my defense in 1989, Republicans who represented me in Congress while
I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and while Diersen v. GAO
was pending 1998-2005 (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf )
did little or nothing to defend me from political affiliation discrimination,
reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for opposing the
aforesaid discrimination while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS
1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. Republicans who represented me in Congress
treated me like they supported “up-or-out” and agreed with the
adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took
against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49
years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always
ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes,
did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from
IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12,
disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, 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. One could wonder if Republicans who represented me in Congress
might have come to my defense if I had contributed lots of money to their
campaigns.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A
group of five U.S. senators sent a letter on Thursday to JPMorgan Chase &
Co., asking it to explain what it was doing to address what they described as
“a troubling list of discriminatory practices” related to race. The
letter was signed by five prominent Democrats, including presidential candidate
Elizabeth Warren and the top Democrat on the Senate banking panel, Sherrod
Brown. The letter referred to a New York Times article last week that reported
( https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/11/business/jpmorgan-banking-racism.html )
cases of racial discrimination at some of the bank’s branches in the Phoenix,
Arizona area.)
