— Formerly incarcerated people discuss career obstacles during Second Chance Month – Zach Ben-Amots
(DIERSEN: What obstacles have you faced searching for a job? Mine include the adverse actions that my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors took against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, 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 $20,361 (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 to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. Other obstacles include my terrible demographics. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), heterosexual, married, non-poor, union member for almost 12 years, gun owner, Protestant, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the unsuccessful attempt by my critics/opponents to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at its 2006 Annual Convention in the Wheaton Bowl. I would focus on my critics/opponents and their operatives and dupes who carried out the attempt. I would focus on my critics/opponents who were unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on the unsuccessful gubernatorial campaigns in the 2006 Republican primary. Jim Oberweis got 31.74% of the vote in that primary, Bill Brady got 18.40%, and Ron Gidwitz got 10.88%.)

— ‘It’s Not Enough to Be Progressive. You Have to Have Been There.’ Tahanie Aboushi wants to be Manhattan DA after her own family was prosecuted. – Sarah Jones
(DIERSEN: Where have you been? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. I saw how the Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, to get rid of federal employees who were Republican, and especially those Republican employees who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Organization since 1999. I see how the organization treats its members like me who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, and/or German American. More importantly, I see how the organization treats its members like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

(DIERSEN: To get their employees to help them get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, non-veteran, and/or older, my Democrat superiors in the federal government gave preference to their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, veteran, and/or younger. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

If I had not taken graduate accounting courses at DePaul starting in 1976, a) I would not have passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) GAO might not have hired me in 1980, c) I would not have passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and d) I would not have become a licensed CPA in 1981. If had not taken graduate finance courses at IIT starting in 1992, GAO might have succeeded in forcing me to take its early retirement “offer” sooner than it did.)
