NEWS CHANNEL 20
— Charges you could face for smoking cannabis around kids – Nikki McGee
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/charges-you-could-face-for-smoking-cannabis-around-kids
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the legalization of marijuana, law enforcement is warning parents to stay on the side of caution when using it at home. As marijuana’s legalization rolls out, the law is defining where it can and cannot be used. While you can smoke and pose it behind closed doors, rules change if you have children in the house. “You cannot knowingly use in close proximity [around] anyone under 21 years of age,” Illinois “Weed Lawyer” W. Scott Hanken said. Any marijuana kept in your house must also be in a pre-packaged, childproof container and kept out of reach. “It’s not a good idea to expose them to a mind-altering substance and we know there can be secondhand smoke that could be inhaled by the cannabis,” Sangamon County Sheriff Campbell said. “So it’s vital that if the parents are going to partake in this, that they don’t expose their children to it.” Sheriff Campbell said his department already investigates cases where they are tipped off about a child smelling like cannabis and sometimes even meth-making chemicals. It’s something they can take action on. “We would look at the totality of the circumstances and determine whether or not the parent was endangering the life or safety of a child,” Sheriff Campbell said. “At that time, we would decide whether or not to either immediately arrest them or to file charges through the state’s attorney’s office.” Mandated reporters, like teachers, are required to report suspected child neglect or endangerment to law enforcement. You also need to be careful if you watch other children. “If you also happen to have a child daycare in that residence, obviously you cannot use it or consume it there,” Hankin said. Any marijuana kept in the house must also be in a prepackaged, childproof container. In other words, kept out of reach. Although you can smoke on private property… Legally it can’t be around your child. The sheriff is also concerned about edibles, which are often packaged as treats like candy or baked goods. He especially wants parents to keep these items secure, since they might look tempting to a child.)

Terra Costa Howard defended her rationale for inviting author Robin Stevenson back to speak in DuPage County, saying, “We are showing the world that our communities embrace the values of honesty, respect and inclusiveness.” This blatant, backhanded, stereotyping of persons daring to hold positions differing from our “modern” society as being, “dishonest, disrespectful, and exclusionist” underscores a real problem that permeates our social, political and business cultures.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unemployed Navy Secretary Richard Spencer — who was fired by Defense Secretary Mark Esper for insubordination — slammed President Trump, saying he made the wrong decision when he reversed the demotion of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, who was prosecuted for killing an ISIS terrorist. “I don’t think [Trump] really understands the full definition of a warfighter,” Spencer told CBS News. “A warfighter is a profession of arms. And a profession of arms has standards that they have to be held to and they hold themselves to.” Spencer was reacting to President Trump’s statement defending his decision to reverse Gallagher’s demotion.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-tns-bc-congress-commentary-20191129-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report recommends Congress significantly ramp up its technical expertise on committees, and at support agencies like the Government Accountability Office and the Congressional Research Service. A recent study by Harvard’s Belfer Center came to a similar conclusion, finding that “Congress has not shown that it has the necessary capacity and expertise to fully exercise its constitutional duties … (and) has appeared unprepared to reckon with emerging technologies and their effects on society.” . . . There have also been efforts within GAO to bolster its science and technology capabilities, leading to the creation of the Science, Technology Assessment, and Analytics team, as well as a new Center for Strategic Foresight. Restoring Congress’ foresight and analytical capabilities would be an important step toward reestablishing the institution’s place as the “first branch.” Both GAO and OTA were designed to serve the major policy priorities of committees, and thus offer a high return on investment per dollar spent for taxpayers. Nonetheless, it’s not the only upgrade needed.)

— Why start a business when you can start a movement? – Jim Nowlan (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. From what I see, far too many of those who dominate the Republican Party reject far too many planks in the Republican Party platform, typically the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They focus on destroying those like me who support the aforesaid planks.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the present era, national politics are shaped by winning intra-party primary elections, which are largely captured by activists at polar extremes. The great swath of us in the middle are marginalized, having little impact on who become candidates. I propose a nationwide competition — with big prizes — among teams at our business school MBA programs, to develop the best “business plan” for creation and implementation of a new, competitive political party.)

Obviously, Barone has never been adversely impacted by patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation. From what I see, ever-increasingly, it is more difficult for those who share my demographics to have a successful career. If was 16 today, the Post Office would not offer me a job like it did in 1966. If was 22 today, IRS would not offer me a job like it did in 1971. If I was 23, 24, or 25 today, IRS would not promote me like it did in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If was 31 today, GAO would not offer me a job like it did in 1980. If I was 38 today, GAO would not promote me like it did in 1986. Instead of me, those who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran would be hired and promoted instead of me.)

NASDAQ
— Why 60% Qualified Is Enough, According to a Recruiter (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, according to the Democrats who ran GAO, I was NOT qualified to transfer in from IRS as a GS-12 Step 5, currently $93,592/year. They insisted that I accept a downgrade to GS-9 Step 10, currently $74,024/year, a pay cut of $19,568/year (21%) in today’s dollars. They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. 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 $82,579-$93,592/year. I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO including interviewing, gathering data, summarizing data, analyzing data, report writing, and making recommendations.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’re a woman who has ever embarked on a job search, you may have heard the buzz: Women and men tend to approach job searching differently. In 2013, HP released a report stating women usually apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the requirements. In many cases, women view a job description as a list of skills and qualifications they should already have instead of skills they can develop as they learn the job. Men, on the other hand, usually apply if they meet 60% of the requirements. While this statistic certainly does not apply to all job seekers, it does resonate with many women in the workforce.)

HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
— Onboarding: What HR professionals need to know Onboarding is an essential but commonly overlooked component of an organization’s success – Geraldine Grones (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my first 2 year working for GAO in 1980 and 1981. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, and coworkers did everything that they could to get me to go back to IRS, and failing that, to destroy any possibility that I would ever get promoted. In my defense, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor’s examination on my first attempt in 1981 and became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— Filling vacancies: Undemocratic process – Editorial (DIERSEN: In Wheaton, when City Council vacancies occur, they are not filled by special elections. Instead, they are filled by the remaining City Council members of which only three are elected citywide. Further, the City Council does not announce who the finalists are. Further, there are no candidate forums. Ten applied recently to be appointed to fill a West District vacancy. What if a special election had been held? What if candidate forums had been held? I was one of the ten applicants. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that I would not have won a special election because I am a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, and even worse things and b) that West District voters are the following and want to represented by someone who is the following: anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Appeasement of bullies ‘will not work’ A pro-family activist who works to expose the truth about homosexuality says the fast-food giant is making a huge mistake by appeasing radical LGBT bullies. LaBarbera, Peter “Already the homosexual lobby is demanding that Chick-fil-A establish a non-discrimination policy at its company,” says Peter LaBarbera, founder and president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. “They’re going to demand that Chick-fil-A sign onto the HRC Corporate Equality Index with its radical agenda for corporations. They’re not going to let go of Chick-fil-A; they are the political bullies of the century. “They’re going to demand more concessions and they’re going to continue to call Chick-fil-A hateful,” he emphasizes. “This appeasement strategy will not work.”)

INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS JOURNAL
— Let’s do better finding candidates for next election – Adrianne Slash (DIERSEN: Are you a potential candidate? What do the following think of you and think of those who share your demographics: those who run your municipality, your township/ward, your county, Illinois, America, your township/ward political organization, your county political organization, your representative on your political party’s State Central Committee, your state political party, and those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your municipality, township/ward, county, state, and America? The proof is in the pudding. The proof is who the aforesaid a) encourage to run for offices and b) discourage from running. Ever-increasingly, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, in Illinois, and in America, the more of the following that you are, the more that the majority of the aforesaid discourage you from running: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.) 
https://www.ibj.com/articles/slash-lets-do-better-finding-candidates-for-next-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Balance should not be just an idea, it ought to be a priority goal for all. Elections always have consequences and one consequence we should look into after the 2019 municipal election is a lack of balance on the local front. Less than 25% of Marion County voters participated in an election that sets the leadership that hits closest to home for the next four years. These results are what we get when the community is not so into the election. All the issues that rise to the top are likewise the priorities of the 25% who were interested. We can do better, but it starts long before Election Day, long before the primary, long before slating conventions. It happens as candidates are identified. Communities deserve candidates who reflect the community, as it exists at the time of the election, not reflective of a line started long ago that lets the next one simply get called up. Communities deserve the right candidate for right now—candidates who are inspired, who have been working, who are in it for the people, who understand the current needs and bring with them the expertise required to get the work done. I am convinced that our low turnout is tied to a lack of inspiration and interest in the processes, and whom we have running. If you look at the Indianapolis City-County Council races, the candidates who have personal ties to their districts have been able to draw their support systems, networks and, ultimately, neighbors to the polls. These communities had higher turnout. Imagine a year in which the candidate pool is representative of the people and chosen for the candidates’ community-level work and for the good of the people, not for commitment to party. Consider what it would look like to have an election cycle with full community buy-in—one in which candidates entered with excitement and fresh community-driven ideas.)

ANSWER: Relevant education, relevant work experience, relevant professional certifications and licenses, length of time lived in the jurisdiction, having demographics (race, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, liberal/moderate/conservative, political affiliation, veteran status, income/net worth, home ownership, length of time ancestors have been in America, etc.) that represent the majority of those who live in the jurisdiction, etc. Ever-increasingly, the following treat me like I am NOT a qualified candidate for any kind office: those who run Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party (IRP), my representative on the IRP State Central Committee, and those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. Ever-increasing, the aforesaid talk and/or act like they want to get rid of those who share my demographics.)

— Age-Inclusiveness Is Easier Than You Think: First Steps To Get You Started – Sheila Callaham (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government focused on getting rid of federal employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (SES) (currently $165,500) by age 40. In the military, GS-13 is equivalent to Major, GS-14 is equivalent to Lieutenant Colonel, GS-15 is equivalent to Colonel, and SES is equivalent to Brigadier General.)

— Only by lawless logic would we include illegal aliens in Census – Adam Lange, Vice Chairman, Brewster Republican Town Committee
https://www.capecodtimes.com/opinion/20191123/only-by-lawless-logic-would-we-include-illegal-aliens-in-census
(FROM THE LETTER: I attended the 2020 Census event at Barnstable Town Hall on Nov. 13. It confirmed how misguided our state government has grown, and reminded me how Donald Trump got elected in 2016. Secretary of State William Galvin told a packed room about his efforts to count everyone in next year’s census. He highlighted that illegal aliens should be included in the count, since their information cannot be shared with other government agencies (aka law enforcement). The U.S. Census determines who receives a finite amount of federal funding and apportions congressional seats. When Massachusetts government officials scheme to inflate their numbers by including the estimated 270,000 illegal aliens for whom they have created a sanctuary, it siphons off money and representation from real Americans in law-abiding states. When congressional seats and Electoral College votes are unfairly distributed, the 14th Amendment’s “one person, one vote” standard is violated. This lawless logic promoted by liberal state officials puts Americans last, and most likely will result in President Trump’s reelection in 2020.)
