NBC5
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps blame Trump and his supporters for political harassment.  The presumption is that the majority harasses the minority.  Did Clinton or Trump win your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, and your county and by what margins?  Clinton got 211 votes in my precinct, but Trump got only 137.  Before the general election, anti-Trumps in my precinct told me that they were going to vote for Clinton to punish me and to punish all Republicans because Trump had won the Republican presidential nomination.  In my precinct in the March 15, 2016 Republican presidential primary, 93 voted for Kasich, 49 for Cruz, 21 for Trump, and 14 for Rubio.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Is it time to give Donald Trump a chance? – Judson Phillips  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government gave me a chance. At GAO, they gave me almost 18 years to become a Democrat; at IRS, they gave me almost 9 years; and at the Post Office, they gave me almost 3 years.  If I had become a Democrat, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old.  But if I had become a Democrat, I would have had to discriminate against federal employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— Republicans warn against ‘burrowing in’ Obama political appointees to career federal positions – Dave Boyer (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/nov/27/obama-appointees-burrowing-in-for-career-federal-j/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congressional Republicans are warning the departing Obama administration against moving any more political appointees into career-service government jobs, a practice known as “burrowing in.”  Government auditors found 69 Obama political appointees who moved into career jobs from 2010 to 2015, and 17 of them didn’t receive the required approval from the Office of Personnel Management. With President-elect Donald Trump preparing to fill about 4,000 political appointments, Republican lawmakers say there is more motivation for Democratic appointees to try to latch onto protected career positions. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, has asked acting OPM Director Beth Cobert for weekly reports on all conversions or attempted conversions, including the names, titles and salaries of federal employees who have switched from political appointments to career positions since June 30. “With the results of the presidential election, there could be an increase in attempts by the nearly 4,000 political appointees across the federal government to convert to career positions,” Mr. Johnson wrote in a letter last week. “I am concerned that, due to the seniority of political appointees at many agencies, there could be pressure to approve these conversions outside the standard merit-based approach to federal hiring.”)
