— Clinton, Trump claim: first president since 1993 who hasn’t smoked pot – ROB HOTAKAINEN (DIERSEN: Those promote pot and other destructive drugs, booze, gambling, promiscuity, and other vices have always worked against me.)
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article94034152.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While President Barack Obama has never hid his penchant for pot during his younger days in Hawaii, Americans soon will elect a president who claims never to have touched marijuana. Republican Donald Trump boasts that he has never smoked a joint or a cigarette or even had a drop of alcohol. Democrat Hillary Clinton was adamant on CNN when asked whether she had ever taken a toke, replying that she never had and never would: “Absolutely not.” Despite their personal views, both of the major presidential candidates have pledged to allow the states to regulate marijuana, following the lead that Obama set in 2013. That would be welcome news for Washington state, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska, where voters have approved recreational marijuana, along with the 26 states that allow the drug to be used for medical reasons. But legalization backers still have one nagging question: Can you believe either Clinton or Trump?)

DALLAS NEWS
— Clinton calls on Americans to reject Trump’s “ugly impulses.” Democrats are nasty. They are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means. They are disciples of Saul Alinsky. RINOs are far more critical of Republicans than they are critical of Democrats. Many, if not most, if not virtually all RINOs are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, or Green plants.

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Agency leadership, job satisfaction matter in feds’ decisions to retire – Nicole Ogrysko (DIERSEN: During August and September of 1997, when I was 48 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would kill me figuratively, if not literally, if I did not take their early retirement “offer” by the end of September. They hinted that they might let me work another 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement, but only if I happily agreed to be demoted figuratively, if not literally. SEE: http://www.campaignsitebuilder.com/templates/displayfiles/..%5C..%5Cuser%5Cdiersenaolcom%5Cdownload%5CDiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents side with my Democrat GAO superiors.)
http://federalnewsradio.com/retirement/2016/08/agency-leadership-job-satisfaction-matter-feds-decisions-retire/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age matters, but federal employees’ overall job satisfaction and experience with their agency’s leadership also could be important as an aging federal workforce makes retirement plans. “The two things that really seemed to make a difference, where the agency could have some impact on employee decisions, was the overall leadership of the agency and the person’s attachment to their particular job,” said Dr. Greg Lewis, co-author of a new federal retirement report and a public management and policy professor at Georgia State University. Lewis and co-author David Pitts examined federal personnel records for employees ages 50 and older and analyzed feedback from the 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. They used that data to determine what other factors — besides employees’ ages — might factor into their decisions to retire from the civil service. They looked at responses to six questions on the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey that evaluated a person’s satisfaction with agency leadership, supervisors, recognition and rewards, experience with co-workers, opportunities for advancement and pay, as well as overall job satisfaction.)
