WASHINGTON POST
— Trump’s 2016 campaign was run on a shoestring. His reelection machine is
huge — and armed with consultants. Since 2017, nearly $92 million has flowed to
dozens of firms providing political consulting services to Trump’s 2020
reelection machine. – Michelle Ye Hee Lee and Anu Narayanswamy

FED SMITH
— Executive Orders and Their Impact on Federal Workers – Ralph R. Smith
(DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action,
Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, job assignments, performance appraisal,
pay-for-performance, budget cuts, etc. to not hire and to get rid of
Republicans, and especially to not hire and to get rid of Republicans who are
White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/10/08/executive-orders-impact-federal-workers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Making It Easier to Fire Federal Workers The new orders will
impact how long federal workers have to improve their performance after
receiving a bad review. The time to improve will be reduced from 120 days to 30
days. Agencies will be encouraged to remove (fire) poor performers rather than
suspending them.)
