— New Report Finds Employees Listed as ‘Do Not Hire’ Working With Children at Chicago Schools (DIERSEN: Are/were you on a “do not hire” list? Constructively, if not literally, I have been on a “do not hire” list since 1997 when I was 49 years old when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” My Democrat GAO superiors would further stress that they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors would further stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would further stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government.)

They want to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. They want to stop everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. But failing that, they focus on demonizing, denigrating, condemning, marginalizing, discrediting, badmouthing, belittling, ostracizing, shunning, etc. me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)

TIMES
— Tea party disinvites candidate Jason Haskell – David Giuliani (DIERSEN: Who are the kingmakers in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? I should write a book about kingmakers in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)
http://www.mywebtimes.com/news/local/tea-party-disinvites-candidate/article_cdb73b48-3ad2-5a98-9b21-157f6a1f129a.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a Facebook post over the weekend, Haskell noted he was disinvited by Art Havenhill, the local tea party organization’s leader. “So when they complain how Kinzinger never accepts their invitations, they are uninviting candidates at the same time!” Haskell wrote. In an interview, Havenhill acknowledged he disinvited Haskell from the tea party meeting. He said it was in response to a Facebook post he said was aimed at the tea party, because it was a screenshot of a comment from the local group’s page. In the post, Haskell said he wasn’t getting any love from the “so-called ‘kingmakers.'” “Their only focus is getting rid of Kinzinger and putting someone in who they can control! Which is why they show me no love,” Haskell said. In an interview, Haskell said his post wasn’t targeting the tea party, but rather a general statement about party establishments in the congressional district. He said Havenhill and others are purposely misinterpreting his statement in their effort to support Marter as the Republican nominee.)
