— President Obama and the discipline of optimism – Mary Schmich  (DIERSEN: What have you been erroneously optimistic about?  I was erroneously optimistic that my Democrat GAO superiors a) would let me work at least until my normal retirement age of 55 in 2003, but they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) would promote me beyond GS-13, but they never did, c) would always assign me to audits of IRS, but they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and d) would offer me a promotion to GS-13 if I would transfer to GAO from IRS in 1980, but they forced me to take an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer.  I was erroneously optimistic that my Democrat IRS superiors a) would promote me beyond GS-12, but they never did, b) would not disallow my education deductions, but they did, and c) would not disallow my partial day per diem claims, but they did.  I was erroneously optimistic that my Democrat Post Office superiors a) would let me continue to work, but they forced me resign in 1969 and b) would not disallow my sick leave requests, but they did.  None of the aforesaid adverse actions would have been taken against me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— Computers no substitute for actual experience – Bill Mego  (DIERSEN: If you were asked what experience do you have to raise questions about government decisions and/or about government activities, what would you say? I would stress that GAO audits federal agencies.  I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels (currently $92,632-$120,427). For almost 9 of those years, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators; for almost 6 years, on audits of many other federal agencies; and for 3 years, on audits of IRS.  I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $77,899-$88,286. I served on the Executive Committee of the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants for 13 years.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Is Early Retirement Great? For Some, It’s Hard Work to Have Fun – JOANNE KAUFMAN  (DIERSEN: Who do you know that retired early?  My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors.  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) promote patronage, that is, they promote political affiliation discrimination and b) promote Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion, that is, they promote reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/23/your-money/early-retirement.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the situation is different when you retire very early — too early even to get your first membership solicitation from AARP. While early retirement and a life of leisure may sound like the stuff of daydreams, the reality can be jarring for people who are used to being busy — and important. There can be boredom, a sense of isolation and a lot of awkward social questions. . .According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the work force participation rate for people in the 65-to-69 age range increased to 32.1 percent in 2015, from 18.4 percent in 1985. Those who choose to clock out a good 10, 20 or 25 years ahead of schedule rarely have financial worries — otherwise, presumably, they would still be on the payroll. They have lived within their means and saved enough to carry them through, or, like Mr. Helmuth, they have cashed out of a business. Maybe they have come into an inheritance or have a spouse who is still bringing home a paycheck. But they do have other concerns: What’s the best response to strangers at parties who ask, “So what do you do?” How do they handle peers’ curiosity (can you really afford to do this at your age?) and envy (so you really CAN afford to do this!)? What kind of message are they sending their children?)

http://thefederalistpapers.org/us/the-difference-between-growing-up-in-the-1960s-compared-to-2016
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Seth Connell reports that in August of this year, campus carry went into effect on Texas’ public college campuses, enabling students and staff with valid concealed handgun licenses to legally carry their firearms. Predictably, leftists freaked out at the idea of people legally carrying firearms in their “safe spaces.”  As we reported back in August, the most famous form of protest on Texas college campuses was “Cocks Not Glocks,” a movement where students who opposed campus carry took adult sex toys with them all across the campus. Despite these protestations, campus carry is in effect in Texas, and there is not mass murder happening in dorms, classrooms, or professors’ offices. Who’d have thunk, right?  Well, it turns out that “Cocks no Glocks” is not going away any time soon. In fact, they have been invited to The White House as a kind of reward for their childish, bratty temper tantrums.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shiu called for more power and resources for her office to be able to better handle workplace equity issues.
“What is required to address this issue is more resources for the agency. What is required is that every contractor has to file its affirmative action plan so we don’t get the plans just when we come knocking. What is required is that the OFCCP has the subpoena authority that the [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] has,” Shiu said. The panel’s talk also focused on specific government agencies as well as the general ethos in tech that critics say contributes to the lack of workplace diversity. The panel members said the lack of diversity made it harder for tech companies to spot and fix certain problems. “I felt there was a cultural problem at Airbnb,” said Laura Murphy, a senior adviser at the company. “Three young, white guys, who founded the company 8 years ago now run a company that’s valued at $30 billion. Doing that in 8 years, they grew very fast. They didn’t change their social networks in the process of growing. We live in a very segregated society. When issues of segregation came up they were turning to each other, which wasn’t the most effective option.”)

— Trump Gets Big Boost From Fake Newspaper  His supporters will be thrilled, though. – Jason Linkins  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails as being fake and b) have always glorified and praised Rich Miller and his Capitol Fax.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But not so fast! Donald Trump has a media coup of his own to brag about. Seems that some eagle-eyed investigative reporters at the Baltimore Gazette have brought home a dilly of a scoop: “Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.” . . . The Baltimore Gazette, a newspaper that existed very briefly just after the Civil War, has returned online as a site to spread fake news stories and other nonsense. . . Yes, turns out the Baltimore Gazette is just one more in an increasingly baffling array of “parody” news sites that swap the humor of The Onion with the crackpottery of your great-uncle’s emails, all while dressing up their wares with as close an approximation to real news as they can muster. (Weigel reports that the “Gazette” does salt its bogus offerings with occasional stories that are on the level ― and stolen from other sources.))
