— Employers: What it takes to have a winning culture – Leanne Hoagland-Smith (DIERSEN: What is/was the culture where you work/worked? I should write a book about what the culture was like in GAO’s Chicago Loop office 1980-1997, IRS’s Chicago Loop office 1973-1980 and 1971, IRS’s Joliet and 63rd & Halsted offices in 1973 and 1974, IRS’s Harvey office in 1972 and 1973, and the Post Office’s Park Forest office 1966-1969. Because of tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to get rid of Republicans to make way for them, GAO’s culture was especially unwelcoming for its employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)

Members of Group A are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time and members of Group B are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Group A’s growing success is why Trump got elected.)

— ROSKAM looks to CLINTON voters – Shia Kapos

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In an interesting twist, GOP Congressman Peter Roskam’s team hopes 6th District voters reject Democrat Sean Casten for the same reason they turned on Donald Trump in 2016. Republicans see Casten as vitriolic — in a President Trump sort of way — which would be a turn-off for Hillary Clinton supporters. Roskam ran away with a victory two years ago and those 6th District voters also gave Clinton a 7-point victory over Trump. Roskam’s supporters point to Casten’s Twitter storm Friday as an example of the Democrat’s lack of decorum. Between 7:36 a.m. and 7:48 a.m., Casten spit out 11 tweets that addressed Roskam’s record on everything from aid to Harvey victims to the Violence Against Women Act. Casten called Roskam “amoral,” saying the congressman “gives money to those who don’t need it, so they will in turn give him money to help stay in power and give them more.” Casten spokesman Greg Bale says it’s wishful thinking on Roskam’s part that 6th District Dems would side with a Republican this November. “They’re trying to create a narrative that’s just not there. The issues that we’re seeing driving this are choice (and we know Roskam is unapologetically anti-choice) and health care. That’s what voters are paying attention to.”)

— Audit: ‘Confusion’ in legislative watchdog’s office led to failures – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: What standards do your critics/opponents hold you to? My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates held me to much higher standards because I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30 (CPA), 32 (Certified Internal Auditor), 41 (Certified Fraud Examiner), 45 (Certified Government Financial Manager), 47 (Certified Financial Services Auditor), and 48 (Forensic Accountant), and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32 (licensed CPA).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But she said it was office Executive Director Randy Erford who failed to tell the commission about 27 allegations of wrongdoing sitting in a drawer, some for up to two years, while there wasn’t a full-blown LIG. “The fact that we had allegations coming in and were going unanswered, yeah, I was disappointed in that,” McConnaughay said. Beyond that, McConnaughay said she didn’t want to judge Erford without knowing what standards he was being held to, “which don’t appear to be many,” she said.)

I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. At Kresges, while Crete-Monee High School was in session, I worked 5PM-9PM Monday through Thursday and 9AM-5PM Saturdays. I worked full-time during the summer of 1965.)

— Are American muscle cars in peril? – TOM KRISHER (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents have always been anti-cars, anti-American nameplate cars, anti-muscle cars, and especially anti-Corvettes. What was your peak earning year? Mine was 1997 when I was 49 years old and earned $125,325/year in today’s dollars.)
http://www.herald-dispatch.com/business/are-american-muscle-cars-in-peril/article_3d7fb7d0-1ce0-50c1-8d93-3a820c3eea07.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet U.S. sales of the iconic Mustang, which leads the segment in 2018, fell 13 percent in 2016, almost 23 percent last year and 5 percent during the first half of this year. Sports car sales, including those from foreign brands, also have dropped during the past two years. Most muscle cars are owned by Baby Boomers, roughly 74 million people who were born from 1946 through 1964. But the youngest of the boomers are in their mid-50s now, and many are past their peak earning years and don’t have the money for a third car to go cruising. As the generation ages and enters retirement years, they’ll buy fewer new vehicles and fewer muscle cars will be sold.)

— Happy Constitution Day, if You Can Keep It The long-term survival of the Founders’ design depends on people, not parchment. – Don Willett (DIERSEN: According to anti-Americans, people come to America illegally only for good reasons, for example, because they “want a better life” and/or because they have no choice by to flee major negatives in their motherland. No one claims that they come to America because they want to assimilate and live under America’s Constitution. Anti-Americans teach immigrants how they can use America’s Constitution to get the federal government to a) give them even more preference and b) turn America into their motherland.)

— What Consumers Should Know About Commercial DNA Testing – Amy Dockser Marcus (DIERSEN: What is your national origin? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece. What if I had pretended to be Swedish? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin. I should write a book about those of the aforesaid who are of German national origin, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)
