— McDonald’s CEO faces growing criticism after gun victim text – AP
https://wgntv.com/news/mcdonalds-ceo-faces-growing-criticism-after-gun-victim-text/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this month, Kempczinski sent a note to McDonald’s corporate employees in the U.S., saying he was thinking through his “lens as a parent and reacted viscerally,” according to The Chicago Tribune. “But I have not walked in the shoes of Adam’s or Jaslyn’s family and so many others who are facing a very different reality,” he said. “Not taking the time to think about this from their viewpoint was wrong, and lacked the empathy and compassion I feel for these families. This is a lesson that I will carry with me.” McDonald’s has declined to comment to reporters. A message left Thursday for a spokesperson by the Associated Press was not immediately returned.)

— St. Louis County Council names certified public accountant as new auditor – Nassim Benchaabane
(COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have belittled, dismissed, and badmouthed my work qualifications the most. I passed the CPA examination and the Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I have master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $102,188-$132,845/year. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The St. Louis County Council has hired a certified public accountant to replace ousted auditor Mark Tucker, a year after a state audit criticized Tucker for inexperience and lax oversight that failed to check abuses by former County Executive Steve Stenger. The council voted 5-0 to select Toni Jackson, of Florissant, from a field of five candidates. Jackson began working for the county this week. Her annual salary is $120,000. . .She has an accounting degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. . .Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway recommended the council require the auditor be a certified public accountant, a certified internal auditor or a certified local government finance officer.)

DUPAGE COUNTY
— Precinct Committeeperson
(COMMENT: This posting includes “Expectations of a precinct committeeperson,” but not expectations of township and county political organization leaders. I should write a book about how the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have treated Republican Precinct Committeepersons since 1999. Of course, I would focus on how the aforesaid leaders have a) treated me since 1999, b) treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, c) treated my raising money from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005, d) treated the gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, e) treated my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship 2005-2012, f) treated my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership 2003-2011, g) treated my MTRO webmaster service 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, h) treated my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership 2003-2007, i) treated efforts to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, j) treated my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and k) treated my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2001-2004. I would focus on the aforesaid leaders who have blamed me and blamed what I have done since 1999 the most a) for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000, b) for their problems, c) for my problems, d) for your problems, and e) for everyone’s problems.)

(COMMENT: Those who promote LGBTQ, their operatives, and their dupes have worked the hardest against me. I should write a book about them.

— The RINO Traitors – Spencer Brown
(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. RINOs reject many, if not most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. RINOs destroy conservatives, that is, RINOs destroy platform Republicans, that is, RINOs destroy the Republican Party. I should write a book about the biggest RINOs in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2000.)

— A jury has awarded $2.75 million to an Arizona legislative staffer who said she was fired from her job as a policy adviser for state Senate Democrats because of discrimination based on her race and gender. – JONATHAN J. COOPER
(COMMENT: If you read the documents filed in Diersen v. GAO, you will conclude that not only Democrat politicians, but also RINO politicians want patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. RINO politicians in Illinois reject the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors knew full-well a) that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson and b) that Thompson promoted patronage and political affiliation discrimination. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the position taken by the Republican Party of Illinois in Rutan, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government.)

WATERLOO CEDAR FALLS COURIER
— Larger share of GOP voters cast ballots in Waterloo, though still outnumbered – Amie Rivers
(DIERSEN: From what I see watching home purchases in my precinct since 1984, it ever-increasing looks like Democrat realtors steer homebuyers to my precinct who are Democrat, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential homebuyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.)

HAMILTON COUNTY REPORTER
— COMMENT: I have been a DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I should write a book about leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) who want Republican Precinct Committeemen to only do what they tell them to do, no more, and no less. They do everything that they can to get rid of me because they did not tell me to do the following: a) send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, b) raise money from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005, c) oppose their gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, d) serve as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) serve as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) serve as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, g) serve as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, h) oppose their efforts to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) seek to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and j) serve as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.)

INC.
— Why Are People Really Quitting Their Jobs? – MARCEL SCHWANTES
(COMMENT: I quit my Firestone Stores job in 1971 when I was 22 years old a) because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, b) because I saw my opportunities for advancement working for Firestone as being limited, c) because what I had learned earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 as being wasted, d) because the job did not really require a college degree – I was required to spent too much time installing tires on cars and pumping gasoline, and e) because my boss disapproved of the fact that I had avoided the draft, that I was Protestant, and that I was 100% German American – Firestone’s District office hired me – he never would have hired me. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer and that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)
