— Rich people prefer iPhones, white people own pets: the data behind the cultural divide – Andrew Van Dam (DIERSEN: Are/were you rich? To demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being overpaid and undeservedly filthy rich, my Democrat superiors in the federal government and Money Magazine stressed the money that I spent on new cars, real estate, tuition, collector cars, etc. They stressed that I avoided the draft and that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-rich-people-prefer-grey-poupon-white-people-own-pets-cultural-divide-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The cultural divide is real, and it’s huge. Americans live such different lives that what we buy, do or watch can be used to predict our politics, race, income, education and gender – sometimes with more than 90 percent accuracy. It turns out that people are separated not just by gun ownership, religion and their beliefs on affirmative action – but also by English muffins, flashlights and mustard. To prove it, University of Chicago economists Marianne Bertrand and Emir Kamenica taught machines to guess a person’s income, political ideology, race, education and gender based on either their media habits, their consumer behavior, their social and political beliefs, and even how they spent their time. Their results were released in a new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research. The duo trained their algorithms to detect patterns in decades of responses to three long-running surveys, each with between 669 and 22,093 responses per year. The surveys were tuned and filtered to be consistent over time, which allowed Bertrand and Kamenica to measure how America’s cultural divides have evolved. . .But others are revelatory: White people and black people are almost as different in their spending habits as rich people and poor people are, for example. Differences in social attitudes between liberals and conservatives have been widened over time, Bertrand and Kamenica found. The gap in social attitudes between whites and nonwhites has fallen slightly, but the difference in consumer behavior between races has grown.)
— The White House’s slippery slope on purging its critics’ security clearances – Aaron Blake (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress my Illinois Republican U.S. Representatives and my Illinois Republican U.S. Senators a) who did not come to my defense when my Democrat superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against me and/or b) who have made it clear that they side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government against me.)

Anti-Trumps use immigrants, refugees, and their supporters to demonize, to denigrate, and to condemn those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time AS BEING WHITE SUPREMACISTS, NAZIS, KKK MEMBERS, HATERS, RACISTS, HATERS, SEXISTS, BIGOTS, AND EVEN WORSE THINGS.)

— Cook County Republican Party to vote to admit Democrats into leadership – Chris Cleveland (DIERSEN: I should write a book about leaders of Republican organizations in Illinois who since 2000 not only reject many planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform (most commonly the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks), but who focus on destroying Republican Precinct Committeemen like me who support those planks.)
http://www.chicagogop.com/
(FROM THE MEDIA ADVISORY: On Wednesday evening, the Cook County Republican Central Committee is scheduled to vote on a proposal by Chairman Sean Morrison to admit Democrats into leadership positions in several Republican ward organizations. The proposal would eliminate the provision in the bylaws that say that individuals may not have voted Democrat in the last three cycles to hold the office of Republican ward committeeman. In 2016, several life-long Democrats, some affiliated with the local Alderman, ran for office as Republican ward committeemen and were disqualified by the bylaws. Chairman Morrison has stated that he intends to seat them anyway. The controversial proposal is strongly opposed by a large number of Chicago Republican committeemen who have said they intend to boycott the meeting. The proposal has also drawn strong opposition from the chairman of the Chicago GOP, Chris Cleveland. Cleveland’s statement on the matter is below. The meeting will be held at: Gene & Georgetti’s Restaurant in Rosemont Wednesday, July 25 7:30 pm The meeting is open to the public.)

I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997. 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, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/398467-congress-demands-new-study-on-staffers-pay
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lawmakers are demanding the first study in nearly a decade on pay for congressional staffers amid growing concerns about whether those workers, in particular women and racial minorities, are being underpaid. “Addressing pay inequality, both on sex and race, is a top priority,” said Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee. “That’s why we’ve included language in this year’s Legislative Branch appropriations bill for a compensation study that examines both pay equity and the overall competitiveness of House salaries.”)

For me, in September of 1972, when I was 24 years old, it was money that I earned/saved a) working for IRS the previous 15 months and b) working for Firestone Stores the previous 25 months, the last 15 months of which part-time.)
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apos-alarming-apos-way-1-144300783.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To finance their purchases, one in three millennial homeowners withdrew money from or took loans against their retirement accounts, according to Bank of the West’s survey of over 600 U.S. adults ages 21-34. Meanwhile, one in five millennials who are planning to buy a home expect to do the same. It’s an “alarming” trend, according to Ryan Bailey, head of Bank of the West’s retail banking group. “Millennials are so eager to become homeowners that some may be inadvertently cutting off their nose to spite their face.” He recommends relying on savings rather than dipping into your retirement funds. “Borrowing from your retirement may make sense in special circumstances, but it’s definitely not a recommendation we tell people to do,” Bailey tells CNBC.)

FED SMITH
— Buyout Increase Dropped in Latest Congressional Report – Ralph R. Smith (DIERSEN: Employers offer buyouts to their employees who they want to get rid of. In 1993, when I was 45 years old, GAO offered all its employees who had 25 or more years of federal service, including me, a $25,000 buyout. Overwhelmingly, those who were eligible for the buyout were White, male, and 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.)

VOX
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Whites crow about their success in making everyone more anti-White. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as being champions of minorities, females, young people, veterans, disabled people, poor people, etc.
