My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used the aforesaid against me. They had great success turning my Democrat supervisors who were veterans against me at the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997.)

Gillman  (DIERSEN: What professional certifications and licenses do you have?  What education do you have?  What work experience do you have? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always downplayed, dismissed, and belittled the fact that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old.  They also downplay, dismiss, and belittle the fact that I became a licensed CPA in 1981, that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997. They also downplay, dismiss, and belittle the fact that I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.  They also downplay, dismiss, and belittle the fact that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991 and that I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.)
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2017/04/06/texas-rep-mike-conaway-take-house-probe-russian-meddling
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It is responsibility I take with the utmost seriousness. My profession as a CPA and auditor has taught me to be objective and methodical, and that is how I intend to help lead this investigation,” Conaway said in a written statement expressing confidence that he can conduct an “effective, bipartisan investigation” with the panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California – an outspoken critic of Nunes in recent weeks. Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat on the Intelligence panel, called Conaway “solid.” Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Dallas Democrat, said she has “great respect for Conaway so I hope he’ll do a great job. Texas Republicans had nothing but praise. “He’s smart, he’s got great integrity, he’s honest. He’ll do a great job,” said Arlington Rep. Joe Barton, a Republican. He refrained from weighing in on Nunes’ decision to step down but said, “Conaway will do it right.” Conaway is one of the few CPAs in Congress. Before his election in 2004, one of his clients was the oil firm owned by future president George W. Bush. When House Republicans needed to clean up a fund-raising scandal in 2008, they turned to Conaway. Corpus Christi Rep. Blake Farenthold, a Republican, called him “immensely qualified” and an “honorable human being….I can’t think of anybody better to do it.” Austin Rep. Roger Williams, a Republican, called him a friend who will do a “great job.”)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170404/NEWS06/170409962/allstate-ditches-foxs-oreilly-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bill O’Reilly’s top-rated Fox News show may be starting to feel a financial sting after allegations that he sexually harassed several women. Northbrook-based insurer Allstate, automakers Hyundai and BMW, financial firm T. Rowe Price, drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline and online marketing firm Constant Contact said Tuesday that they have joined Mercedes-Benz in pulling their ads from the show. The moves come after a weekend report in The New York Times that O’Reilly and his employer paid five women $13 million to settle harassment or other allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fox’s star.)

SCHMIDT  (DIERSEN: What complaints have been filed against you?  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, no complaints that I discriminated against anyone because of their political affiliation, veteran status, “race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information,” or anything else were ever filed against me.  Nevertheless, the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, and the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 treated me like many such complaints had been filed against me.  They would not have treated me that way if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)

— GOP Paid White House’s Priebus Almost $500,000, Filing Shows – Jennifer Epstein and Toluse Olorunnipa  (DIERSEN: Who calls your tunes?  He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Neither the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, the Illinois Republican Party, the Republican National Committee, nor any other individual, organization, company, government, or country has paid me anything for what I do for you as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-01/gop-paid-white-house-s-priebus-almost-500-000-filing-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus received almost $500,000 from the Republican National Committee in 2016 as he led the party to wins at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, according to a financial disclosure form released Friday. Priebus served as chairman of the RNC from 2011 until joining the Trump administration in January. He was paid a base salary of $225,000 in 2016 plus two bonuses totaling $175,000. The party also spent just over $57,000 on rent for a Washington-area home. At the beginning of 2017, the committee paid him an additional $33,000. Appointed by President Donald Trump shortly after the election last year, Priebus has attempted to draw on his long-standing relationships with Republicans in Congress to help shape and shepherd Trump’s agenda. A fixture in Wisconsin politics for most of his adult life, Priebus worked as a litigator at Milwaukee law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, where he became partner in 2006. He went on leave from the firm when he became party chairman and more formally severed ties at the end of 2016, when he received a $450,000 equity buyout. He also was paid a $50,000 bonus by the firm and had $96,408 from his capital account returned to him. Priebus also reported assets totaling at least $350,000 in an American Funds mutual fund and two bank accounts.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— HARDCOPY SUBTITLE: We have become a nation that is increasingly dependent on government assistance, and it is having a profound effect on our lives and our politics. – Linda Chavez
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/my-familys-history-tells-the-story-of-the-great-american-divide/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some 15 million people in the U.S. receive disability payments. In some of the 136 counties with the highest rates of disability use across the country, almost all of them rural with a white majority, more than 1 in 6 working-age adults receive federal disability payments. Once on disability, as the Washington Post points out, recipients rarely get off the program. By and large, these are not individuals who fell off a roof and broke their back or lost limbs in an industrial accident. They suffer from back pain or diabetes or emphysema or liver cirrhosis or some other lifestyle-induced ailment. But, perhaps more importantly, they live in communities where job opportunities are few, especially for those who don’t have a college education. But disability programs are just a fraction of the government’s assistance programs. A 2015 study by the U.S. Census Bureau showed that 52.2 million people, or roughly 1 in 5 Americans, received help in 2012 from one of six means-tested programs. And, of course, this doesn’t count Social Security or Medicare, which pays out to individuals on average far more over their lifetimes than they contributed in taxes.)

 

DAILY HERALD
— 3 things you need to know if your basement is flooded  (DIERSEN: What factors increase the likelihood of your basement flooding? Factors for 915 Cove Court in Wheaton include the subdivision being built in a watershed area and a former septic field, the tremendous amount of surface and subsurface storm water that flows onto the lot during and after heavy rains, the inadequate number of storm sewer inlets in the subdivision, the disruption, obstruction, and improper connection of 6″ and 4″ subterranean drainage lines when the home was built, the pouring the foundation walls on cracked footings, the improper installation and intentional blockage of exterior foundation footing tiles, the installation of only one sump pump when there should have been two or even three or even four, the many long and wide cracks in the basement floor, and the fact that all the storm water that gets into the storm sewer system on the lot is limited to the capacity of one 4″ pipe.  What factors decrease the likelihood of your basement flooding?  For 915 Cove Court, they include the installation of steel reinforcement rods in foundation walls, the installation of interior footing tiles, my paying $900 when the home was built in 1984 to have all nine of the home’s downspouts directly connected to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my installing a backup sump pump, my unobstructed and properly connecting the aforesaid subterranean drainage lines to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my paying for unobstruction (the removal of stones) from some of the exterior footing tiles, my adding hundreds of feet of French drains and many storm sewer inlets on the lot and connecting them directly to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my properly sealing the many long and wide cracks in the basement floor, my paying for conversion to an overhead sewer system before the basement was finished in 2005, and my paying for a 20-W whole house natural gas backup electric generator for the home.  Since 1984, because of Wheaton’s failure/refusal to assure that building codes were enforced when the subdivision was constructed and 915 Cove Court was built, I have been forced to spend many thousands of dollars and many hundreds of hours of my labor to stop basement flooding.)

https://www.facebook.com/Dupagecountybusinesses1/
(FROM THE WEBSITE: So we have got the ball rolling… On March 15 2017 Dupage County has had their Annual Liquor Commission Meeting for Unincorporated Liq. License Holders. At this meeting it was discussed by those in attendance the need for Video Gaming to stay competitive with other Businesses. Dan Cronin the Liquor Commissioner explained that we “Collectively” as a group need to contact our District Board Members and express to them how the current ordinance is effecting our ability to stay competitive. After the meeting a group of us stayed to have our own meeting an come up with a game plan. March 28, 2017 the same group attended the Dupage County Board Meeting and a few of us spoke during the Public Comments portion of the Meeting to express our desire to be competitive to other businesses that allow Video Gaming. Well, we have been heard a few Board Members have reached out to Jeremy (Jt’s Porch) and myself and are interested in having a conversation about Video Gaming. Plus at the end of the Board Meeting where the Board Members have open discussion, Video Gaming was discussed between Mr. Zay (Dist. 6), Mr. Puchalski (Dist. 1), Mr. Krajewski (Dist. 3), Mrs. Khouri (Dist. 5), and Mr. Cronin (Chairman). Please take a minute to send off a Email to your District Board Member to let them know you support your local Bars/Restaurants desire to remain competitive. If you need any help contacting your District Board Member I have all Email addresses. If you are a Bar/Restaurant that would like to stay in the loop of upcoming meetings and discussions please send me a message so we can talk. Thanks for Everyone’s Support  Matt)

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/politics/donald-trump-getting-even-washington/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Long before Donald Trump ever became a credible presidential candidate, let alone the commander in chief, the former reality TV star was guided by one animating principle: “If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard.” Trump’s desire for revenge played out in public on Thursday when, in an effort to spook conservative members of his own party, the President lumped the Freedom Caucus — a collection of conservative Republican lawmakers — with Democrats and pledged to “fight them” in 2018. Trump and his White House feel betrayed by the conservative Republicans. Many backed Trump early in the 2016 campaign and stood by him during some of the toughest trials of the campaign. But when it came to passing his first conservator legislative goal — health care reform — the conservatives revolted en masse and killed the bill.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party holds its annual “Governor’s Dinner” fundraiser Thursday night to pay tribute to Gov. Bruce Rauner, the state GOP’s leader and biggest donor. Tickets for the event at the Hilton Chicago range from $500 per person all the way up to a special $40,000 “gold” sponsorship. Included is a private reception and photo opportunity with dinner following afterward. All of the top Illinois Republican officials are co-chairing the event, along with the GOP members of Illinois’ congressional delegation and the party’s Senate leader, Christine Radogno of Lemont, and House leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs. Since Rauner took over as governor in January 2015, the state Republican Party has raised nearly $30.9 million. Of that amount, 68 percent, or more than $21.1 million, has come directly from Rauner, his wife or his campaign fund. The group Illinois Working Together, a coalition of unions and other organizations opposed to the governor, are planning a “Rauner Do Your Job” demonstration outside the event.)

They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted 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 gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Entitlements: The Most Dangerous Addiction – DENNIS PRAGER
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/445940/entitlements-american-addiction
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All addictions – whether drug, alcohol, gambling, sexual, or cigarettes – are very hard to escape. There is one addiction, however, that might be more difficult than any other to escape – in part because it is not even regarded as an addiction. It is Entitlements Addiction, an addiction to getting something for nothing. One indication as to the power of Entitlements Addiction is that, while great numbers of people have voluntarily given up – almost always at great pain – drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc., few give up an addiction to entitlements. For the majority of able-bodied people who get cash payments, food stamps, subsidized housing, free or subsidized health insurance, and other welfare benefits, the thought of giving up any one of those and beginning to pay for them with their own earned money is as hard as giving up alcohol is to an alcoholic. Politicians know this, which is why it is close to impossible to ever reduce entitlements. And, of course, the Left knows this, which is why the Left almost always wins any debate over entitlements. Every American who is the beneficiary of an entitlement backs entitlements, and many who are not beneficiaries of entitlements would like to be. This, aside from ideology, is why the Left constantly seeks to increase entitlements: The more people receive government benefits, the more people vote left.)

http://www.laconiadailysun.com/opinion/letters/102905-russ-wiles-3-17-360
(FROM THE LETTER: Thanks to Matt Vespa of townhall.com for pointing out examples of the lunacy of political correctness in academia today. Of course we know that this insanity is due in part to teachers imbuing a belief in young students that America is just not a very nice country. Of course, this too is yet another example of the progressive-left convincing folks that expecting foreigners who we welcome into this country to assimilate is just plain racist, mean and nasty. Democrats and the progressive-left in this country apparently are not able to comprehend the irony of their ideology. Perhaps that is why they are not paralyzed by what should for all intents and purposes be debilitating “cognitive dissonance.” Please look it up and then reflect on their actions, the irony of which should keep them up at night. It apparently does not because, after all, they have good intentions and so the often damaging results of their well intended actions and deeds are irrelevant to them. Crazy right?)
