DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: OUTRAGEOUS, DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Only one person spoke out
against recreational pot at a recent South Elgin planning and zoning commission
public hearing. Everyone in Illinois who claims to be religious, conservative,
and/or Republican should speak out against recreational pot at municipal and
county hearings. Especially the following should speak out against recreational
pot at municipal and county hearings: Republican Precinct Committeemen and
Captains; officers of Republican township, ward, and county organizations;
Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee members; IRP officers;
the IRP National Committeeman and Committeewoman; activists; candidates;
elected officials; major donors; political consultants; etc.)

— Facts Matter: With elections looming, watch out for fake news – Russell
Lissau (DIERSEN: What qualifications do my critics/opponents, their operatives,
and their dupes have to be fact checkers? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the
last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $98,198-$127,654, I
increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work
required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number,
table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I
worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5
levels, currently $82,279-$93,592. My other fact checking qualifications
include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in
1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in
1979. Further, according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their
dupes, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are full of fake news. Needless-to-say, I
should sue them. They stress that the neither the Illinois Republican Party
(IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), nor Milton Township
Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) promote my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They
stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton
Chamber of Commerce (WCC) Government Affairs Committee member, MTRCC webmaster,
Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, American
Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Midwest Chapter board member, GAO
employee, etc. They stress the adverse actions that IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, TAPROOT,
WCC, ICRC, AAPC, GAO, etc. have taken against me.)

— How Is Marijuana Expungement Working In Illinois? – MARIAH WOELFEL (DIERSEN:
What do you want to be expunged? I want my Democrat superiors in the federal
government to expunge from my employment record the adverse actions that they
took against me. 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 a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to
transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me
beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor
in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat
Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave
requests in 1969 and 1968.)

NEUMAN (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Since 1966 when I was
18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have
stressed to veterans that I avoided the draft. I sought and got four student
draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment
1970-1971.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Mattis said he’d been asked what he thought of Trump’s remarks, which
reportedly came during a White House meeting with congressional Democrats on
Wednesday. “I earned my spurs on the battlefield … Donald Trump earned
his spurs in a letter from a doctor,” he said in a reference to a medical
deferment for bone spurs that kept Trump from serving in the military during
the Vietnam War.)

https://www.federaltimes.com/management/2019/10/17/union-disputes-opms-argument-for-reforming-personnel-management/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Office of Personnel Management leadership under the Trump administration
has frequently turned to results from the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint
Survey that indicate feds’ dissatisfaction with reward and punishment practices
to support dramatic efforts to both overhaul employee management and change the
federal pay and benefits system. Most recently, the administration proposed
changing federal practices to make it easier to discipline and fire
under-performing federal employees. “Notably, as demonstrated in the Federal
Employee Viewpoint Survey, a majority of both employees and managers agree that
the performance management system fails to reward the best and address
unacceptable performance,” the proposed rule change said.)
