— Here’s what peak performers do – Amy Vetter (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are distractions. My critics/opponents want you to know only what they tell you, no more, and no less. My critics/opponents want to manipulate/dominate you.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/success/inc/tca-here-s-what-peak-performers-do-20181010-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Eliminate electronic distractions Distractions can increase your workload and stress levels. The constant ding of e-mail and text notifications and Internet temptations can easily disrupt your focus and concentration. According to a study by the University of California, Irvine, it can take up to 23 minutes before you’re able to refocus on the work you were doing before you were interrupted. To start, set up temporary barriers to help keep you focused. Some web tools that can help are Freedom, a website blocker for your computer and phone, and Inbox Pause, which stops new e-mails from coming into your inbox for a time. While the prospect of quieting electronic noise like this may seem daunting at first, it can help maximize your work day and minimize the amount of overtime needed.)

https://www.theherald-news.com/2018/10/12/foster-to-rauner-lessen-tax-burden-on-illinois-residents/a8x033t/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The specific provision in the bill that Foster and the nine other representatives were concerned about was the cap on deducting state and local taxes, known as the SALT deduction, to $10,000 a year. “The newest tax scam hurts families in Illinois by making the cap on state and local tax deductions for individuals permanent, and I call on Governor Rauner to address the damage the new tax law will have on Illinois taxpayers,” Foster said in a statement. “I opposed both pieces of legislation because they impose a significant burden on hardworking Illinoisans.” The letter states the representatives are “disappointed” Rauner didn’t oppose the SALT deduction provision in the bill and said other states have already taken steps to offer solutions.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Conservative mega-donor Richard Uihlein and Gov. Bruce Rauner parted ways bitterly after Rauner signed the HB40 abortion legislation supported by pro-choice advocates. Uihlein went on to bankroll Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives’ primary campaign to the tune of $2.5 million. When she lost, Uihlein seemed to step back from political races. He gave only $1.5 million to various candidates across the state during Q2. That changed in Q3. He ramped up his support, giving $3.5 million to Dan Proft’s conservative Liberty Principles PAC, which is backing numerous GOP candidates in statehouse races. Uihlein also gave $150,000 to Bill Brady’s state Senate campaign in the 44th District (he’s running unopposed); and $300,000 to Barrett Davie, who’s running against Dem incumbent Julie Morrison for the 29th state Senate District seat. – Shia Kapos

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— An Asian-American Dissident at Harvard Of course I’m grateful to have been admitted despite my background. But why shouldn’t I be critical? – Kelley Babphavong (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire and to get rid of those who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who the Democrats who run the federal government do not promote to 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. 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.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/an-asian-american-dissident-at-harvard-1539546451
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s not easy to voice my opinion about Harvard’s admissions policies on campus. For all the talk about “diversity,” many fellow students won’t tolerate my views. I often get comments such as, “How can you be against affirmative action? That’s racist,” and “You should be grateful to Harvard. Why are you critical of them?” . . . On campus, I’m often labeled as ignorant and bigoted for opposing affirmative action. I’m one of the few students who openly criticize Harvard. Even among friends and fellow Asian-American students, this is a polarizing issue that has fallen on partisan lines. Yet real alternatives to race-based affirmative action exist. Race-blind admissions processes that prioritize socioeconomic status, taking into account how applicants have dealt with life’s challenges, would do a far better job of creating genuine diversity. Asian-Americans know they are being unfairly discriminated against under a defense of diversity. Let’s hope the courts recognize it too.)

— Frustrated with health insurance costs, some turn to religious plans: ‘For us it’s been a godsend’- Lisa Schencker (DIERSEN: Religious organizations should do far more to promote traditional marriage and to discourage activities that harm your health. They should do far more to discourage sexual aggression, to discourage promiscuity, to discourage infidelity, to discourage LGBTQ activity, to discourage abortion, to discourage booze, and to discourage pot. Your body is the temple of the Lord. SEE: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-religious-health-care-cost-sharing-1014-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barazza family belongs to a health care sharing ministry, a religious nonprofit in which members pay for each other’s health care needs. Compared with traditional health insurance premiums, ministries’ monthly member costs are often much lower. But unlike traditional insurance, members must often commit to religious principles. The ministries generally won’t pay for services that don’t align with those principles, such as abortion and substance abuse treatment, and they often limit coverage of pre-existing conditions and prescriptions.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: An anti-Trump says “Survival rests on SHUNNING TRUMP.” Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs have always advised Republicans to shun conservatives. They certainly have advised Republicans to shun me. I should write a book about those who have focused on getting Roskam to shun me. They include past and/or present a) Milton Township Republican Central Committee leaders and members, b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders, members, and employees, c) Illinois Republican Party leaders, members, and employees, d) Illinois Center Right Coalition leaders and members, e) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois leaders and members, f) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce leaders, members, and employees g) Illinois Center Right Coalition leaders and members, h) activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, and political consultants, i) those who focus on destroying people like me and destroying organizations like TAPROOT that they cannot manipulate/dominate, and j) those who I have sued.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Mike Pence arrives in southern Illinois today to campaign for Rep. Rodney Davis, the incumbent Republican from the central Illinois to Metro East areas where President Trump still has some clout. GOP Congressman Peter Roskam is listed as one of the honorary co-hosts of today’s luncheon fundraiser, along with Congressmen Mike Bost, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Darin LaHood and John Shimkus. But don’t expect Roskam to get too cozy with the White House in the run-up to Election Day — Trump remains unpopular in Roskam’s suburban Chicago-based district. In fact, the president is a big reason Roskam’s seat is suddenly one of the most endangered GOP seats in the nation. How endangered? Enough that party strategists are suggesting he might be abandoned as a lost cause if his campaign doesn’t “recover quickly.” For now though, the NRCC is out with a new attack ad aimed at his opponent, Democrat Sean Casten. And Roskam’s camp says the NRCC is pouring $1.5 million into its race. The veteran congressman will need it. Casten has $4.6 million reserved for ads. And a poll commissioned by Casten two weeks ago showed him ahead 49 percent to Roskam’s 44 percent.)

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— Illinois CPA Society Seeks Minority Candidates for Internship Preparation Program – Illinois CPA Society (DIERSEN: Did you get any internships while you were in college? I did not. I was draft bait. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969 while I attended UIC and NIU. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. Nevertheless, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I have been an Illinois CPA Society member since 1979.)
https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/news/12433223/illinois-cpa-society-seeks-minority-candidates-for-internship-preparation-program
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Illinois CPA Society is seeking minority college students who are sophomores, juniors, or seniors interested in accounting to apply for the Mary T. Washington Wylie Internship Preparation Program. This highly competitive and all-expenses paid program will be held January 3-5, 2019. This program prepares up to 25 racially/ethnically diverse students for entry-level positions with access to practical training, resources, and potential future employers. Highlights from the agenda include resume advice and interview coaching from recruiters and volunteer experts. Additionally, all participants receive a $500 scholarship, business cards, a professional headshot, and a LinkedIn profile. At the end of the program, participating employers conduct onsite interviews with the students for a variety of opportunities, including Abbott Laboratories, Crowe LLP, Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Grant Thornton LLP, KPMG LLP, PwC LLP, and Sikich LLP. “When our scholars end up receiving internships and even full-time job offers, it’s highly rewarding to know that we’ve helped brighten their futures,” said Kari Natale, Director, CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois. “Not only do students leave motivated to succeed, but we see them become more confident and better prepared than they ever imagined.” This program is funded by donations to the CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois’ Mary T. Washington Wylie Opportunity Fund, which honors Mrs. Washington Wylie’s legacy by offering opportunities that promote diversity and strengthen the accounting profession.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/opinion/ct-sta-slowik-highest-paid-superintendent-st-1011-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A system that rewards public servants with excessive compensation should rile south suburban homeowners struggling to pay high property taxes and other bills. Paraday’s base salary this year is $309,306, but that’s only part of the story. The cost of health insurance, an annuity, pension contributions, a car allowance and other expenses drove Paraday’s total compensation for the year to $407,145 — making him the highest-paid superintendent in Illinois. Paraday oversees 1,130 students in three schools, which were delayed from opening in August due to mold in the junior high. Yet, Paraday makes more than the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, who oversees 371,382 students in 644 schools. Open the Books, a Burr Ridge-based watchdog group, discovered that on top of his other compensation, Paraday is set to receive a “golden handshake” of $762,615 for unused paid days off. “Unused, earned sick leave, unused vacation days and unused personal business days shall be allowed to (accumulate), without limit,” Paraday’s contract states. “The superintendent, at his discretion, may submit for payment, at the current per diem, any unused sick, personal or vacation day(s).” Paraday, 56, who has been superintendent since 2005, accumulated 567 days at a rate of $1,345 per day, Open the Books said, based on information it obtained from the district through the Freedom of Information Act. “The bloated Illinois education bureaucracy rewards those who know how to play the pay-and-pension lottery,” Adam Andrzejewski, Open the Books founder and CEO said in a statement. “It’s time the dollars start following the children rather than the bureaucracy.”)

Under the new plan, taxpayers will be able deduct state individual income, sales and property taxes up to $10,000. The deduction is currently unlimited. All Illinois Dems but Rep. Dan Lipinski signed the letter saying the provision will have “serious consequences for Illinoisans.” – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)

— Rauner “totally” agrees that citizens “are being skipped over” for illegal immigrants (DIERSEN: It is far easier for employers to exploit citizens of foreign countries, and especially citizens of foreign countries who are in America illegally. From what I see, far too many employers in America prefer hiring citizens of foreign countries FOR THEIR BAD JOBS, and especially citizens of foreign countries who are in American illegally, over citizens of America. What BAD JOBS did you have? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, all the jobs that I had were BAD JOBS. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

— Rauner campaign: “Pritzker paying back the money he conned out of Illinois taxpayers is nothing less than an admission of guilt that he committed fraud” (DIERSEN: Money Magazine and my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted that my education deductions were fraudulent. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses that I took a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) qualified me for a “new trade or business,” d) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and e) were a distraction.)

— New Pritzker ad features son of deceased Quincy veterans’ home resident (DIERSEN: Just kidding, but if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents would run ads featuring people who would say how great TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, Association of Government Accountants, and other organizations were BEFORE I JOINED THEM and THAT I BROUGHT THOSE ORGANIZATIONS DOWN.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Illinois (Republican-held. Previous ranking 2): Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) is the most vulnerable governor this cycle. Despite having endless millions to spend on his race, he was always going to have a tough path to reelection in a Democratic state. It was the entrance of a third-party conservative candidate that appeared to seal his fate by making Rauner a governor without a natural constituency. Democrat J.B. Pritzker, another billionaire, looks like he’ll cruise to victory.)

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
— How does a Bay Area Republican survive? Act like a Democrat – Holly Honderich (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. If you are not going to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.)
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/How-does-a-Bay-Area-Republican-survive-Act-like-13293456.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Catharine Baker calls herself pro-choice, pro-environment and pro-gun control. As the only Republican to hold partisan office in the decidedly liberal Bay Area, it may be the only way she can hang on. Since she was first elected in 2014, the East Bay assemblywoman has split with the GOP on issues that define it nationally and has sought to distance herself from the man who now controls the Republican Party, President Trump. Her tenure in Sacramento has been marked by frequent excursions across the aisle to work with Democrats. “That’s one of the strongest signatures of my record: independence from parties and interest groups,” Baker said. “I feel I’m one of the most effective members of the Legislature that way.”)

My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation may have ended, but it’s ignited a group of Chicago-area pro-choice activists. They’re launching WomenAreTheBlueWave.com to turn red legislative seats blue. “We marched. We voted. Now we need to volunteer,” the web site states. The effort was initiated by Illinois Democratic Women and Personal PAC. “Women are going to make the difference in November here and throughout the nation and we want to help harness that energy given that more is at stake now than ever before for women and families,” says Jennifer Lee, co-President of IL Democratic Women. How it works: Women and their allies are invited to sign up at WomenAreTheBlueWave.com. They will then be connected with nearby local campaigns that need volunteer help the most to flip key state districts for candidates with pro-women and pro-choice agendas.)

— State GOP gets cash infusion – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-rauner-pritzker-busy-week-ahead-20181007-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party, which has been heavily subsidized by Gov. Rauner, has gotten a cash infusion of more than $850,000 from a variety of sources. The House Republican Organization, the campaign funding arm of House GOP lawmakers and candidates, gave the state GOP $500,000. The HRO has also received significant funding from Rauner. In addition, the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee gave the party $200,000, while Rauner’s hand-picked state Republican chairman, Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, added another $80,000. Barrett Davie, a Republican state Senate candidate from Lake Forest who is challenging Democratic state Sen. Julie Morrison of Deerfield, also gave the state GOP $70,000. Davie also has been the beneficiary of more than $300,000 from conservative Republican mega-donor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrat’s poll shows Casten ahead of Roskam by 5 points – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/?post_type=cst_article&p=1411456
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among women voters polled, Casten is up 15 points — 54 percent to 39 percent. For men voters polled, Roskam is up by 7 points — 50 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll. Casten is also performing better with voters age 18 to 39 — polling 58 percent to Roskam’s 25 percent. The race between Roskam, who has held the seat since 2007, and Casten, a political newcomer and a former energy company executive, is under a microscope nationally as Democrats try to regain control of the chamber. Roskam’s campaign said they’re aware the race is close but expressed optimism in the incumbent’s chances. The campaign on Sunday also sought to link Casten to Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, echoing TV ads which say “both would make us pay a lot more” in taxes. “We are confident voters will stick with Peter Roskam, who has been an effective leader for Illinois and is rated as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress,” spokeswoman Veronica Vera said.)

— WHY YOU NEED NEW CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA & SEARCH Stop being censored by Facebook, Google and Twitter
https://www.wnd.com/2018/10/why-you-need-new-conservative-social-media-search/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Have you been a victim of censorship? If you are a conservative, it is almost certain Facebook, Google, Twitter or another high tech company put some type of restriction on the information you need. Your posts may be blocked or shadowbanned. Perhaps, important news is hidden from you. It is a matter of freedom or tyranny. Many people are asking, what is the solution? USA.Life social network and 1776Free.com search engine are the answer to Facebook, Google and Twitter censoring Christians, conservatives and liberty. These new sites are being built by Steven Andrew, a Silicon Valley technology and Christian leader. He set up a crowdfunding page to launch the sites and people are chipping in to save our freedoms. Already, they have exceeded $200,000. When Andrew saw Facebook block tens of millions of his posts from followers, he decided to use his Internet business and leadership skills to make these pro-America alternatives. How can these new sites save the Internet for you and your loved ones? Here are three important reasons why you need USA.Life and 1776Free.com. 1. Freely Share Life, Liberty and Happiness Andrew found big tech blocks pro-American values. Your God-given rights are being restricted. Important things like God, family values, securing the borders for your safety, gun rights, life, the Constitution and traditional marriage are being attacked by these big tech companies. A report found Google gave 96% liberal news against President Trump. This affects elections. USA.Life and 1776Free.com use a Pro-America Algorithm (TM), so you can always share and find life, liberty and happiness. You can freely talk about American values, without being restricted. This makes you and your loved ones safe, strong and blessed. 2. Privacy News reports reveal Facebook, Google and others track almost all private details of your life. This spying is unAmerican. However, USA.Life and 1776Free.com give you privacy. Only a minimal amount of information is used. If you delete something, it is deleted. There is no selling of your personal data to third parties. 3. Real News Liberal big tech companies updated their algorithms, so conservatives get less traffic, according to reports. They promote fake news outlets, which is a danger to national security. USA.Life and 1776Free.com are different. They give you real news, so you know the truth about what is going on. You and your family gain real knowledge. Learn More Without USA.Life and 1776Free.com, your freedom and privacy could be lost forever. However, the Internet can be saved if 58,000 people give $10, or if 5,800 supporters give $100. New members are joining every day by signing up for a free account. Joining now gives users access to preferred usernames and project updates. Don’t be trapped with anti-American Facebook, Google and Twitter, sign up today. With these new sites, you help save the USA.)

FORBES
— Think Again If You Plan To Work Longer – Teresa Ghilarducci (DIERSEN: How long do you plan to work? I planned to work at least until I would be eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003. But my Democrat superiors in the federal government succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement offer when I was 49 in 1997. Consequently, my pension is only $51,864, or only 41% of what my $125,325 salary was in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/teresaghilarducci/2018/10/08/think-again-if-you-plan-to-work-past-65/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When 52% of older workers are pushed out of their jobs, working longer is not their choice. The stark truth is that a significant share of older workers — age 55-64 — are not anywhere near being on track to afford retirement. The median retirement account balance for older workers is only $15,000. Even the highest income workers — those earning over $200,000 per year who are in the top ten percent of the income distribution — do not have enough money to retire and maintain their standard of living. Their median account balance is under a year’s salary at $200,000 and 15% of the highest earners have no retirement plan except Social Security. For nearly 20 years, the advice to older people is to make to make up for inadequate retirement wealth by working longer. Yet, from 2008 to 2014, at least 52% of retirees over 55 left their last job involuntarily as a result of direct job loss (they were laid off or their business closed or changed ownership); they felt they were pushed out so they quit; or their health deteriorated; or they had to leave work to take care of a sick family member.)

WEALTHY RETIREMENT
— Age Discrimination Is Alive and Well – Steve McDonald (DIERSEN: How old are you? I am 70. All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://wealthyretirement.com/slap-in-the-face/equal-employment-opportunity-commission-age-discrimination/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s one for all of us who have been forced out of a job or were forced into early retirement because of our ages. In 1974, my uncle Stephen was forced to retire at the age of 64. He was a 40-year veteran of a big-time hotel business, and his work was his life. But his employer had a rule that you had to leave at age 64. No discussion! Unfair? Yeah, just a little. It gets worse… Age discrimination has been illegal in this country since 1967. But you’d be hard-pressed to convince any boomers of that fact, especially if they, a friend or a relative lose their job after the age of 50. The fact is, age discrimination is alive and well in the U.S., and it is the only kind of discrimination that is accepted and ignored by everyone. Race and sex discrimination have been on the front burner since I was kid. Despite the fact that boomers are retiring in droves (10,000 per day) and many have to work to make it in retirement, holding or finding a job after the age of 50 is next to impossible. Off the top of my head, I can think of two friends who lost their jobs after age 50. One is an attorney. It took him almost two years to find another job. The other, a 35-year veteran of the mutual fund business, couldn’t find another position and had to retire early. Every thinking person knows it was their age that was the barrier. Now, because the Gen Xers are right behind us, the numbers are just getting too big to ignore any longer. But the cavalry may finally be on the horizon. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) just closed an age discrimination case against a restaurant chain, which cost the chain $12 million. The acting chair of the EEOC, Victoria Lipnic, stated in a recent article that age is now an enforcement priority for her commission. This shift in enforcement is too late for the three out of five of us who have been the victims of age discrimination or have seen it in action, but it’s something of a moral victory. Years of research have shown that age is not a predictor of performance. In fact, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that the workplace wisdom older workers bring with them actually makes them more effective and efficient. Fifty years of ignoring this travesty appears to be coming to an end. This has to stop. Not just because it’s wrong, but also because too many boomers have to work well into their golden years and there aren’t enough Walmarts to employ all of us as greeters.)
