CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Outrageously, anti-Trumps discourage home ownership. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24, a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in that building in 1976.  My wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978 and we had 915 Cove Court built in 1984.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/10/opinion/sunday/paulina-porizkova-america-feminist.html
— A Public Service Message From the Class of ’67 – SERGE SCHMEMANN  (DIERSEN: Since 1966, when I was 18 years old, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government have used my getting student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971 against me. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a patriotic hypocrite, a coward, even worse things, and a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a veteran in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a veteran in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted veterans in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a veteran in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a veteran in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/10/opinion/sunday/vietnam-war-public-service-message-from-the-class-of-67.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: My generation was shaped to a considerable degree by Vietnam and, at least for the men, by the draft. Whether and how to elude military service was a constant during our time in college and beyond, and for many of us the wrenching debates and decisions of the tumultuous 1960s affected the rest of our lives. Some ended up in Vietnam, some opted for the Peace Corps or other national service, some became conscientious objectors, but all were touched by the draft. So it is not surprising that at our college reunions — including the 50th of my class of ’67 at Harvard last month — both the men and the women spent a lot of time going over what Vietnam and the choices we made in those now-distant years meant for us. Twenty-five years earlier, a session on Vietnam had become intensely emotional and confessional as classmates recalled their war or their antiwar struggles; this time, we were more retrospective, reflective and ruminative. What was surprising was that many who rose to speak in the two-and-a-half hour session declared it was a shame that the draft, and more broadly the notion of a couple of years of national service before plunging into careers and families, had been abandoned. How could guys who expended so much passion and energy eluding the draft regret its demise?)

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.)

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.)

GAO
— JOB OPENING: Student Trainee  (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS.  I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 after I had worked 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.  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.)

http://www.publiusforum.com/2017/05/30/political-bias-sloppiness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On CNN’s State of the Union, with Dana Bash, on May 28, 2017, the topic of Sanctuary Cities was discussed with Sanctuary City Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago. The definition of a “sanctuary city” is one which allows illegal aliens to reside within its jurisdiction, flouting state and federal immigration laws. And the operative word is “illegal.” But, the word “immigration” was spoken 8 times, without the prefix “illegal”. “Immigrant” was used spoken 4 times, with the prefix “illegal” zero times, but “undocumented” used only once.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The GOP-controlled Congress and President Donald Trump have hammered away at what they characterize as slackers with too many benefits and too much time on their hands, and, frankly, civil servants are sick of it. “Contrary to what you may have heard in a recent congressional hearing, my members are barely holding on to a middle-class standard of living,” Pam Sturm, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 822 IRS workers in St. Louis, said in a statement. “They struggle to pay for housing, utilities, rising health-care costs, tuition and care for children or elderly parents,” Sturm said. She said 65 percent of her members are Grade 5 to Grade 8, which means their starting salary is $33,000. The highest salary for Grade 8 employees is $58,962.)

THE BLAZE
— 120-year-old church in Geneva, Illinois ditches ‘Baptist’ name over ‘negative stereotypes’ – Tre Goins-Phillips (DIERSEN: What is your national origin?  What negative stereotypes does it have?  During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany.  Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F.  Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)
