(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new state law requires that schools provide a lunch to all students, regardless of their ability to pay. Area school officials say that just underscores what they’ve already been doing – but they appreciate the emphasis it puts on nutrition. The lunches are reimbursable with federal funds. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed the bill into law this week. It provides that a school may not publicly identify or stigmatize a student who cannot pay for a lunch or who owes money on their account balance.)

They used that system a) to recruit, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young females and b) to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.

That’s the lowest rate of return among all 102 counties in Illinois, according to a recently released study conducted by researchers at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: One could argue that Illinois is financially dependent on DuPage County. One could argue that without DuPage County, Illinois would have to immediately file for bankruptcy. DuPage County is run by Republicans. One could argue that if more statewide candidates were elected from DuPage County, Illinois would not be having the financial problems that it is having. Aside from Evelyn Sanguinetti, the last statewide candidate from DuPage County elected was Jim Ryan. Further, when James “Pate” Philip from DuPage County was President of the Illinois Senate, Illinois was much more fiscally responsible.)

About half the Diersens stayed with the church as it dumped the Missouri Synod and moved to the Wisconsin Synod.

DAILY CALLER
— CONSERVATIVES AT FACEBOOK FORM ‘FB’ERS FOR POLITICAL DIVERSITY’ TO COMBAT COMPANY’S IDEOLOGICAL ECHOCHAMBER – Kyle Perisic (DIERSEN: Conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois should organize and form an association. It could be named the “Association of Conservative Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains of Illinois” or ACRPCI. In your township/ward and in your county, what percent of the Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains are conservative? What have they done that shows that they support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform?)
https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/28/facebook-political-diversity-james-damore/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than one hundred conservative Facebook employees have joined an internal employee message board to protest what they call the company’s “intolerant” liberal culture. The group, “FB’ers for Political Diversity,” was created last week, The New York Times reported Tuesday, and aims to promote ideological diversity within the company. Facebook’s workforce of more than 25,000 is viewed as largely liberal. “We are a political monoculture that’s intolerant of different views,” wrote senior Facebook engineer and group cofounder Brian Amerige in a post, The NYT added. “We claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology.” Amerige’s post continues to criticize Facebook’s emphasis on racial and gender diversity and how it, along with the company’s overt liberal bias, threatens the “viability as a company.” Facebook banned a dissenting conservative group in December 2016, Business Insider reported in August 2017. The group, “Facebook Anon,” was an anonymous group chat for supporters of then-candidate Donald Trump. It was shut down for violating Facebook’s policies against anonymous accounts, but Business Insider reported that the talks “turned ugly and … alarmed management.” Amerige’s post echoes similar concerns of a memo former Google engineer James Damore wrote in August 2017 that criticized Google’s “ideological echo chamber,” The Daily Caller reported. “[W]e tear down posters welcoming Trump supporters. We regularly propose removing [tech investor Peter] Thiel from our board because he supported Trump,” Amerige wrote. “We’re quick to suggest firing people who turn out to be misunderstood, and even quicker to conclude our colleagues are bigots.” Amerige added that Facebook has made “all lives matter” a “fireable offense” and that human resources investigates anyone who dares “criticize Islam’s human rights record.” Amerige’s concerns are not without any evidence. Facebook cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has donated to left-leaning campaigns in the 2018 and 2020 elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on Aug. 23. Facebook also has a well-documented history of removing conservative content, some of which was restored with an apologized after public backlash. (RELATED: Facebook Flags New York Post Article About Trump Voters As ‘Spam’) Facebook has also removed videos and shadow banned content. Facebook apologize for mistakenly removing videos from the popular conservative page PragerU on Aug. 17, The Daily Caller reported. FB’ers for Political Diversity’s only rule is “if you attack a person’s character, rather than their ideas, you will be banned.”)

WASHINGTON MONTHLY
— Republicans Make a List of Trump Scandals They’re Covering Up – Nancy LeTourneau (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO 1980-1997. One could say that the Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 forced me to take their early retirement “offer” to punish Newt Gingrich.)
https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/08/28/republicans-make-a-list-of-trump-scandals-theyre-covering-up/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What Newt saw to is what Paul Glastris and Haley Sweetland Edwards called, “The Big Lobotomy.” A quick refresher: In 1995, after winning a majority in the House for the first time in forty years, one of the first things the new Republican House leadership did was gut Congress’s workforce. They cut the “professional staff” (the lawyers, economists, and investigators who work for committees rather than individual members) by a third. They reduced the “legislative support staff” (the auditors, analysts, and subject-matter experts at the Government Accountability Office [GAO], the Congressional Research Service [CRS], and so on) by a third, too, and killed off the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) entirely…Since 2011, with a Tea Party-radicalized GOP back in control of the House, Congress has cut its budget by a whopping 20 percent, a far higher ratio than any other federal agency, leading, predictably, to staff layoffs, hiring and salary freezes, and drooping morale.)
— JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 FLASHBACK: The Big Lobotomy How Republicans Made Congress Stupid – Paul Glastris and Haley Sweetland Edwards (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO 1980-1997. One could say that the Democrats who ran GAO in 1997 forced me to take their early retirement “offer” to punish Newt Gingrich.)
https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/junejulyaug-2014/the-big-lobotomy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The third target of Gingrich’s attacks was the legislative support agencies. The Government Accountability Office, Congressional Budget Office, Congressional Research Service, and now-defunct Office of Technology Assessment operated on a bipartisan basis, offering measured reports on topics suggested by members themselves. Sometimes, these agencies act as helpful librarians, and sometimes they’re more like referees, carefully adjudicating among the competing quantitative claims of various members and outside groups. Gingrich, perhaps not surprisingly, viewed them all as potential rivals to his singular narrative.)

 

ENTREPRENEUR
— 6 Ways Healthy Office Competition Builds Teams and Improves Productivity – John Rampton (DIERSEN: When you got promotions, what competition did you face? GAO is in the legislative branch. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had a very low opinion of executive branch employees like I was for almost 12 years (Post Office 1966-1969 and IRS 1971-1980). They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974 only because the IRS employees who I competed against for those promotions were inferior people. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO would never have hired me in 1971, and if it had, it would never have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974. They stressed that I did not earn an MBA until 1976, that I did not pass the CPA examination until 1979, and that I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until 1980.)

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. Anyone should be able to do what I did because according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I am extremely stupid. But out of the other side of their crooked mouths they shout that I had tremendous unfair advantages in life including that I was born a White male, that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that I avoided the draft, that I worked for the federal government, that I got married, that my wife has always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents, etc.)

— Let us know politics of news employees – Kristin Kocan, Warrenville
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180827/your-responses-to-enemy-of-the-people-editorials
(FROM THE LETTER: Responding to your editorial entitled, “Not enemies, but voice of the people,” please note that Pope Francis addressed the issue of “fake news” in a message for Communications, last January. How did he describe fake news? “The term ‘fake news’ has been the object of great discussion and debate. In general, it refers to the spreading of disinformation on line or in the traditional media. It has to do with false information based on non-existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader. Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence political decisions, and serve economic interests.” He goes on to say “Disinformation thus thrives on the absence of healthy confrontation with other sources of information that could effectively challenge prejudices and generate constructive dialogue …” His whole message has to do with truth. However, your editorial did not mention truth; up front, it said it is the “voice of the people.” Well, which people? Maybe on your editorial page (one of many pages), you give half time to one side of an issue, half time to the other side (maybe). But for the rest of the pages, your paper is the voice of those in your employ. What is the ratio of Democrat to Republican in your employ? What is the ratio of Trump supporters to Trump haters in your employ? Let us know, and then we can decide if your paper is an enemy of people you don’t agree with …)
— Does $60,000 make you middle class or wealthy on Planet Earth? – Heather Long and Leslie Shapiro (DIERSEN: Are/were you wealthy? Because I have always been a Republican, because I avoided the draft, and because I am not a minority or a female, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being wealthy. They stressed the money that I spent on new cars, education, real estate, collector cars, etc. They stressed my wife’s income. They stressed that my wife and I did not have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They stressed the money that we saved for our retirement. They were beyond furious when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of the aforesaid, a) I did not need, nor should I be given, any promotions, b) I should be gotten rid of, and c) failing that, I should be forced to take early retirement.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the 50th anniversary of the protests, organizers of the August 25 event say the issues of injustice still remain. “Today, when we have America’s longest war in Afghanistan and Iraq, those lessons are urgently needed as well,” said Andy Thayer, part of the Chicago Committee Against War and Racism. Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Facebook is rating the trustworthiness of its users – Elizabeth Dwoskin (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes identify as being false a) articles that they disagree with and b) articles written by people who they cannot manipulate/dominate.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180821/facebook-is-rating-the-trustworthiness-of-its-users
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook developed its reputation assessments as part of its effort against fake news, Tessa Lyons, the product manager who is in charge of fighting misinformation, said in an interview. The company, like others in tech, has long relied on its users to report problematic content — but as Facebook has given people more options, some users began falsely reporting items as untrue, a new twist on information warfare that it had to account for. It’s “not uncommon for people to tell us something is false simply because they disagree with the premise of a story or they’re intentionally trying to target a particular publisher,” said Lyons. Users’ trustworthiness score between zero and one isn’t meant to be an absolute indicator of a person’s credibility, Lyons said, nor is there is a single unified reputation score that users are assigned. Rather, the score is one measurement among thousands of new behavioral clues that Facebook now takes into account as it seeks to understand risk. Facebook is also monitoring which users have a propensity to flag content published by others as problematic, and which publishers are considered trustworthy by users. It is unclear what other criteria Facebook measures to determine a user’s score, whether all users have a score, and in what ways they’re used.)
