— Youth Engagement in Philanthropy students hope to raise $12,500 as part of Giving Tuesday – Scott Mogan (DIERSEN: What do you give? My critics/opponents demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me for my not giving enough. In my defense, I have put together and sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising since 2000. GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year. GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails have gone out each and every a) morning since 2004 and b) evening since 2015. That is 7,595 emails. Those emails contained links to 385,927 articles and information about many upcoming events. It takes about an hour for every 10 articles, so I have spent about 386,000 hours doing this since 2004. My time is worth $100 an hour. 386,000 X $100 is $3,800,000. All the time and all the money needed to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails comes from me. But according to my critics/opponents, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are worthless if not destructive.)

— The danger of the status quo: How Wisconsin institutions maintain white supremacy – KEN WANG (DIERSEN: What will newly elected Democrats do to stamp out White supremacy in your county, in Illinois, and in America?

— Staffing experts say adult use marijuana is preventing some from finding employment – Mary Sugden (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. What percent of those who the Post Office, IRS, and GAO did not hire were pot users?)

— IRS Says Its Own Error Sent $1,200 Stimulus Checks To Non-Americans Overseas – SACHA PFEIFFER (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. GAO wasted my knowledge of IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently, $85,084-$96,431/year. If I had been a Democrat, a minority, and/or a female, GAO would have assigned me to audits of IRS. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s skewering of President Donald Trump on Twitter may get him uninvited to holiday parties, according to POLITICO’s Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer. “There has been discussion in the White House of excluding the following Hill Republicans from the W.H. Christmas party this year: Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Mitt Romney (Utah), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Ben Sasse (Neb.) and Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) and Liz Cheney (Wyo.). We’re told this has been reversed — that they may get an invite — but this has dominated West Wing chatter in the last few days.” – Shia Kapos
