HERALD & REVIEW
— Government opposes Schock’s request to stay his case – Andy Kravetz (DIERSEN: What if the news media had reported on Diersen v. GAO like it reports on U.S. Government v. Schock? In Diersen v. GAO, while Maggie Hickey served as Peter Fitzgerald’s Chief of Staff, Fitzgerald appointed both the district court judge, Amy J. St. Eve, and the attorney who represented GAO, Patrick Fitzgerald. All of the aforesaid made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Eve granted Patrick Fitzgerald’s motion to deny me my 7th Amendment rights, that is, to deny me a jury trial. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that Peter Fitzgerald, Hickey, Eve, and Patrick Fitzgerald all viewed me as being someone who was lazy, stupid, bad, and even worse things.)

— MAY 13, 2018 FLASHBACK: More Than Half of Older Workers Are Postponing Retirement. Here Are 4 Great Reasons to Do the Same Before you retire, think about the benefits of waiting — because there are plenty of them. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors’ argument that they did not force me to take their early retirement offer in 1997 when I was 49 years old is absurdly false on its face. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $125,325/year, but my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is $73,461/year less than that, or only $51,864/year. My CSRS pension is only 41% of my GAO salary in today’s dollars.)

— For 60 Years, This Powerful Conservative Group Has Worked to Crush Labor Now the Janus decision has helped push the National Right to Work Committee and its sister organizations closer to that goal. – Moshe Z. Marvit (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-union. They stress that I was a union member a) for almost 3 years while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and b) for almost 9 years while I worked for IRS 1971-1980. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were vehemently anti-union.)
