INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW
— Buttigieg Says O’Rourke’s Plan to Pull Tax Breaks From Anti-LGBTQ Orgs
‘Means Going to War’ With Churches – Madison Dibble (DIERSEN: From what I see,
ever-increasingly, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian
plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs put pressure on churches a) to
promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity,
abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices,
patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age
discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things and b) to dump/destroy
individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are
Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American,
White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and
those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Positive Experiences Impact Employees Twice As Long As Negative – How To
Create More Impactful Moments At Work – David Sturt and Todd Nordstrom
(DIERSEN: What positive work experiences have you had? I was promoted in 1986
when I was 38 years old, in 1974, in 1973, and in 1972. What negative work
experiences have you had? My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in
1997, 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.)

GAO
— GAO’s Professional Development Program – Watchdogs in Training (DIERSEN:
Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980
when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and
subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to
transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a
$60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts
do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I
had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized,
denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that 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
$82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar
to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first
attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I
had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from
DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal
seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)
