— Apps provide lifeline for workers who face hardship between paychecks – AP (DIERSEN: Have you ever had to live paycheck-to-paycheck? I have not. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, the reasons are a) I was born a healthy White male, b) I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I have always been privileged, c) I avoided the draft, d) the federal government grossly overpaid me, e) I married someone who had savings and has always had good jobs, and f) we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They dismiss, belittle, badmouth, demonize, denigrate, and condemn the jobs I had and the fact that I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

Other than me, do you know anyone else who works/worked for GAO? As you know, I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. As you know, I charged GAO with political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in a lawsuit. As you know, a copy of the complaint is at https://gopillinois.com/documents/. As you know, 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 an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. As you know, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me.)

ILLINOIS LEAKS
— Wheaton-Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 facing lawsuit for building school without required referendum – KIRK ALLEN
http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/08/district-200-facing-lawsuit-for-building-school-without-required-referendum/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A local resident of District 200 has taken appropriate steps to hold the School Board accountable to the law. Jan Shaw, the founder of “DuPage Watchdog“, a local government accountability organization, filed a verified complaint for Declaratory Judgement, Mandamus, and Injunctive Relief against the District 200 School Board today. You can see her Press Release at this link. Back in March of this year, we published this article pertaining to the School District 200’s intentions to build a new school in spite of the majority of voters shooting down multiple referendums in their attempts to move forward with building a new school. It appears the facts laid out in our article as well as Shaw’s multiple articles on this matter have fallen on deaf ears. The School Board is moving forward against the will of the people and in contradiction to the law, in our opinion, and that of multiple other attorneys. We are pleased to see our information is shared as part of the exhibits to support the allegations in the complaint.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican who have done the most since 2000 a) to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails.)
