The aforesaid Democrats and RINOs lost this year at the Illinois Republican Party State Convention when the delegates voted overwhelmingly for traditional marriage, that is, one man and one woman.)

But since then, more and more and more Democrats have fled the poverty and the crime in Democrat Chicago for the prosperity and safety in Republican suburbs. Tragically and hypocritically, those Democrats continue to vote for Democrats, that is, they continue to vote for the poverty and the crime that the Democrat Party platform brings forth.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, that they disallowed my education deductions, and that they disallowed my partial day per diem claims. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

— Will Democrats take Trump’s bait on federal workers? Conservatives often win elections because of the hysterical, overblown reaction their common-sense plans receive from the left. – Christian Schneider (DIERSEN: Anyone seeking a federal job should be warned that federal employees and federal retirees are viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 19 years.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/12/06/democrats-take-trumps-bait-federal-workers-christian-schneider/95016922/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During the campaign, Trump promised a tightening of the federal government workforce; reportedly, his allies are working on plans to freeze hiring, end automatic raises, make it easier to fire incompetent workers, and convert federal retirement benefits to resemble more of a private sector, 401(k)-style plan. According to The Washington Post, Trump will likely seek counsel from Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who famously angered public sector unions in 2011 when he ended mandatory union dues, required public employees to begin paying a portion of their health and retirement benefits, and all but eliminated collective bargaining for government employees.)

— Help Wanted at Google The tech giant is looking for someone who can speak Republican. – Editorial (DIERSEN: Should I apply for this job? Who in Illinois would my critics/opponents want to apply for this job?)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/help-wanted-at-google-1481070488
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The reality of a Donald Trump Presidency has been hard to process for much of Washington, but one example is especially notable. The good progressives at Google have announced they are looking for someone who can communicate with those strange humanlike life-forms: conservatives. Google recently posted a job opening (https://www.google.com/about/careers/search#!t=jo&jid=227695001&) in Washington for a manager of “Conservative Outreach and Public Policy Partnerships.” The employee “will act as Google’s liaison to conservative, libertarian and free market groups” and will be “part organizer, part advocate and part policy wonk.” Ideal candidates have eight years experience—and have attended at least one but no more than three Tea Party rallies. OK, we made that last one up. The company has been known to hire Republican politicos in the past, but Google will need greater political diversity soon. The company’s lobbyists, executives and other affiliates visited the Obama White House 427 times between 2009 and November 2015. The top lobbyist stopped by more than many of her counterparts in the industry combined. Google no doubt planned to continue wielding influence in a Hillary Clinton Administration. Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google’s parent company, advised John Podesta and Mrs. Clinton’s campaign on digital strategy and targeting voters, though perhaps not in the Upper Midwest. A report from the Campaign for Accountability turned up 57 people affiliated with both Mrs. Clinton (whether her campaign, foundation or State Department) and Google entities. Now Google will have to scramble to preserve its enormous influence on everything from copyrights to privacy regulation. Whether Mr. Trump will indulge rent-seeking from Google and friends is anyone’s guess. But maybe Google’s Republican unicorn can host a staff seminar on the free-market philosophy that made the tech giant possible.)

My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. My mother had never attended high school and had always been a homemaker in our home in Crete. My brother attended Crete-Monee High School. I applied for and got a financial hardship draft deferment. Much of my “first grown-up salary” when for our living expenses in our home in Crete.)
