— Ex-V.A. chief: I didn’t ‘resign,’ I was fired – Hope Yen (DIERSEN: Constructively, I did not ‘retire’ September 30, 1997. Constructively, my Democrat GAO superiors fired me and forced the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to start paying me $51,864/year in today’s dollars for the rest of my life. So far, in today’s dollars, CSRS has paid me $1,063,212. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with my Democrat GAO superiors.)

DAILY HERALD
— Madigan builds power from the ground up … and sometimes from the basement – Mick Dumke (DIERSEN: Is the polling place for your precinct “in the middle of” your precinct? The polling place for my precinct in not in my precinct, let alone in the middle of it.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180402/madigan-builds-power-from-the-ground-up
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But inside the precincts of Madigan’s district on Election Day, I had a clear look at how his political machine keeps churning along, and how it probably will for as long as he wants. The power of the most powerful politician in Illinois starts with his election operation and service delivery in his home ward. When I stepped into the basement polling place, I was greeted by an election judge who noted my surprise. “It’s not uncommon in our community,” she said. As I later learned, she was partly right. At one time, dozens of Chicago houses served as voting sites — as many as 150 in 1989, according to a Chicago Tribune article that year. Most were picked as polling places years or even decades earlier, when election officials favored locations in the middle of each precinct. That was also a time when the Democratic Machine had a tighter grip on the entire electoral process. The house on 68th Street has been used as a polling place since at least 2007, according to the available Chicago Board of Election records, but probably far longer. The owners didn’t respond to inquiries about it. By the primary this year, it was the only single-family house still used as a polling place in Chicago, records show.)
— Jeb Bush to speak at Elmhurst College forum April 18 (DIERSEN: How strongly will he demonize, denigrate, and condemn individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)

I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/01/business/economy/labor-recruit.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With forecasters expecting the unemployment rate to sink further this week, the chorus of complaints about worker shortages — from custodians to computer prodigies — has swelled. Yet companies that turn to labor recruiters like Ray Wiley tend to have an especially tough time: The jobs they offer are in out-of-way places; the work is low-paid and disagreeable; and native-born Americans, particularly white men, are generally not interested.)

Democrats promote dependency on government, dependency charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things. Democrats use government to get rid of individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— No cake on International Fact-Checking Day. Celebrate by correcting fake news. Fact-checking is growing but there aren’t enough journalists in the world to fight fake news. We need everyone to support facts and denounce fakery. – Jane Elizabeth (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all news is fake except for the news that they put out or bless. What are your fact checking qualifications? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)
