— Homeland Secretary John Kelly: Marijuana is a ‘Dangerous Gateway Drug’ – ANDREW RAFFERTY
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/homeland-sec-kelly-marijuana-dangerous-gateway-drug-n747901
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly Tuesday called marijuana a “gateway drug” and vowed his agency will uphold federal laws against its possession, a sterner message than he delivered on the topic just last week. “Let me be clear about marijuana. It is a potentially dangerous gateway drug that frequently leads to the use of harder drugs,” Kelly said during a speech about his agency’s mission at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. “Its use and possession is against federal law and until the law is changed by the United States Congress, we in DHS, along with the rest of the federal government, are sworn to uphold all the laws that are on the books,” he added.)

Students who don’t follow that path or who don’t excel are often looked down upon, and Tessa called out the school community to “stop paving the one true path to success.”)

Why don’t lenders require parents to co-sign student loans? Did/could you get a student loan? I doubt that I could have back in 1966. I was draft bait. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father had fought type 1 diabetes from age 14 and made only about $40,000/year in today’s dollars. My mother never attended high school and was a housewife/homemaker. My vision was never correctable to 20/20 and I have always had partial red/green color blindness. I had demonstrated no leadership potential in high school; I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. Upon graduation from high school, I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, and delivered mail.)

Because all the jobs that I held 1964-1997 were bad ‘men’s work’ jobs, with the exception of the first job that I held, my superiors always had an extremely hard time getting women to take those jobs. My first job, a ‘women’s work’ and a ‘minorities work’ job washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 was so bad that women and minorities would not take/keep the job. My understanding is that I was the first and only White male to hold that job and that I held it longer (18 months) than anyone else. The bad ‘men’s work’ jobs that held after were cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent taxes, and auditing federal agencies.)

Non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, a) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 ($94,610) by age 25, GS-14 ($111,801) by age 30, GS-15 ($131,508) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($161,900) by age 40 and b) you will be expected to help your superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates shouted that I could never have a successful GAO career, that is, that GAO could and should waste my career and get rid of me. They stressed a) that I was a Republican, b) that I was 31 years old, c) that I was White, d) that I was a male, e) that I was not a veteran, and f) that GAO forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9, Step 10, currently $71,326, to transfer from IRS to GAO.)

I never was and I never will be. I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years 1966-1969 and 1980-1997. If a White male non-veteran federal employee like me hugged anyone, they would immediately branded a sexist or even worse things and they would be immediately gotten rid of.)

NBC5
— VERY SAD: Protesters Gather in Chicago, Calling on Trump to Release Tax Returns (DIERSEN: In 1977, in connection with Money Magazine doing a “One Person’s Finances” article on me, I gave Money Magazine copies of my 1972-1976 federal income tax returns. When Money Magazine published its 4-page article on me in its February, 1978 issue, it because clear that the Democrats at Money Magazine selected me for the article because they wanted to and because they did a) foist negative government employee stereotypes on me and b) paint my education deductions as being improper. They described my job duties as an IRS Revenue Officer and the graduate business courses at Loyola and the graduate accounting courses at DePaul that I had deducted purposely to make it look like the courses did not relate to my job duties and they did not help me carry out my job duties. They implied that the courses qualified me for “a new trade or business” and that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector. The Democrats at IRS disallowed all the courses notwithstanding the fact that IRS encourages its Revenue Offices to take graduate business and accounting courses and my Loyola and DePaul graduate school applications clearly showed that I wanted to take the courses to help me carry out my job duties at IRS. I took IRS to Tax Court pro se and won a split decision. The Democrats at Money Magazine and the Democrats at IRS would not have done the aforesaid to me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)

— Naperville taxpayers deserve an explanation for nature center flooding – Editorial (DIERSEN: What factors increase the likelihood of your basement flooding? Factors for 915 Cove Court in Wheaton include the subdivision being built in a watershed area and a former septic field, the tremendous amount of surface and subsurface storm water that flows onto the lot during and after heavy rains, the inadequate number of storm sewer inlets in the subdivision, the disruption, obstruction, and improper connection of 6″ and 4″ subterranean drainage lines when the home was built, the pouring the foundation walls on cracked footings, the improper installation and intentional blockage of exterior foundation footing tiles, the installation of only one sump pump when there should have been two or even three or even four, the many long and wide cracks in the basement floor, and the fact that all the storm water that gets into the storm sewer system on the lot is limited to the capacity of just one 4″ pipe. What factors decrease the likelihood of your basement flooding? For 915 Cove Court, they include the installation of steel reinforcement rods in foundation walls, the installation of interior footing tiles, my paying $900 when the home was built in 1984 to have all nine of the home’s downspouts directly connected to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my installing a backup sump pump, my unobstructed and properly connecting the aforesaid subterranean drainage lines to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my paying for unobstruction (the removal of stones) from some of the exterior footing tiles, my adding hundreds of feet of French drains and many storm sewer inlets on the lot and connecting them directly to Wheaton’s storm sewer system, my properly sealing the many long and wide cracks in the basement floor, my paying for conversion to an overhead sewer system before the basement was finished in 2005, and my paying for a 20-W whole house natural gas backup electric generator for the home. Since 1984, because of Wheaton’s failure/refusal to assure that building codes were enforced when the subdivision was constructed and 915 Cove Court was built, I have been forced to spend many thousands of dollars and many hundreds of hours of my labor to stop basement flooding.)

According to the assessor, the home’s value increased $20,940 or 4.8% last year. It would be interesting to see what my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would do if my wife and I listed the home for sale. Would they stress the home’s positives to get someone to buy it right away to get rid of me or would they stress the home’s negatives to discourage/reduce/stop any potential offers to punish me?)

They hint/imply/argue/shout that because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents, we are nasty selfish filthy rich DINKs (dual income, no kids) and even worse things, and therefore, we can and we should pay more real estate taxes.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170414/news/170419281/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A property tax mix-up involving new Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 board member Anisha Patel’s home resulted in her family saving more than $12,000 by paying taxes to the wrong school district since at least 2008. A Daily Herald analysis of property tax records shows the Patel family paid about $44,000 in taxes to Elk Grove Township Elementary District 59 since 2008 but should have paid closer to $56,000 during that time to District 25. Researchers at Cook County Clerk David Orr’s office discovered Patel’s home was wrongly listed within District 59’s taxing boundaries even though Patel sends her children to schools in District 25. The mistake came to light after Patel won election to the District 25 board April 4. Patel and owners of two neighboring homes — and ultimately their property tax bills — are affected by the revelation.)

There are all kinds of reasons to oppose marijuana.” Steans said 750,000 people admit to smoking marijuana in Illinois.)

— Secret Service costs for Trump family protection continue to mount – Reuters
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/secret-service-costs-for-trump-family-protection-continue-to-mount/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Government Accountability Office has begun work on a report that will look at the cost to taxpayers of travel by President Trump’s family. President Trump’s trips on Air Force One to Mar-a-Lago have cost taxpayers an estimated $700,000 for each round trip. CBS News has estimated, based on a previous Government Accountability Office report, that each presidential trip to Mar-a-Lago costs about $3 million. One purchase order reviewed by CBS News shows the US Secret Service has spent $35,185 on golf cart rentals “for POTUS visit” in Palm Beach County, Florida since the President’s inauguration. Another purchase order showed a charge of $64,000 for “Elevator services- Trump Tower” in December 2016. A Secret Service official told CBS News that “elevator inspection is one of many protective operational measures utilized by the Secret Service.”)

(FROM THJE ARTICLE: Embattled Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly, who announced he was going on vacation starting Wednesday and returning April 24, hasn’t taken off this much time consecutively in March or April for at least 10 years, an examination of his show’s transcripts revealed. O’Reilly said he likes to take vacation around this time and that he booked this year’s break months ago. That would appear to stave off stories that the cable host had been pressured to make himself scarce for a while. His show has seen an advertiser exodus since reports emerged of settlements reached with five women to keep quiet about harassment accusations.)

DAILY HERALD
— Businesses urge DuPage County to lift video gambling ban – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: At DuPage County’s April 11, 2017 board meeting, four spoke in favor keeping ban: Anita Bedell, Kathy Gilroy, Bill Bryan, and myself. In addition, I urged the board to pass a resolution in opposition to legalizing the sale of marijuana in Illinois for recreational use – SB 316 and HB 2353.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170412/news/170419598/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Meanwhile, several gambling opponents attended Tuesday’s county board meeting to urge officials to leave the ban in place. “This board has no duty to level the playing field for bars,” said Kathy Gilroy, an anti-gambling advocate from Villa Park. “This board has a duty to the welfare of county residents — not just liquor licensees desiring to make money from customers who lose their money in a slot machine.” Counties and municipalities that allow video gambling receive 5 percent of each machine’s profit. The state takes 25 percent, while establishment owners and the terminal operators evenly split the rest. County board member Robert Larsen said he believes it would be difficult to repeal DuPage’s ban. “I understand some private entities like the VFWs would like to have the revenue,” Larsen said. “But where that money comes from tends to be from folks who can least afford it. I just don’t think it’s a good way to raise money for these organizations.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first hearing on the topic is at noon April 19 in the Michael A. Bilandic Building, 160 N. LaSalle St. Gov. Bruce Rauner said the idea needed more study. “I think recreational marijuana is a very, very difficult subject,” Rauner said Tuesday during an appearance in Rock Island, saying Illinois should look at the impact that legalizing marijuana has had on the states that have already decriminalized the drug. “I am not in support of Illinois going there until we study the ramifications of what’s happening in other states,” Rauner said, according to WQAD-TV.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There’s a big string attached to New York’s free middle-class college tuition initiative: Students must stay in the state after graduation or else pay back the benefit. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that the requirement was added to protect the state’s investment in a student’s education by ensuring they don’t take advantage of free tuition and then leave New York. The tuition initiative, which Cuomo said is a national model, covers state college or university tuition for in-state students from families earning $125,000 or less. Students must remain in New York for as many years as they received the benefit. They must repay the money as a loan if they take a job in another state.)

This was the world my dad grew up in, and it’s the world being created by the broken policies of Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner. It’s been 21 months and counting without a budget because Rauner wants there to be no budget. In his race to destroy the social safety net, he wants the chaos that comes from slashing school funding, closing health clinics, and encouraging companies to leave the state. I am running for governor because I’m tired of Bruce Rauner and his billionaire friends being the happiest they’ve ever been as millions of families suffer from lack of jobs, health care, and educational opportunities. I am running because I want to ensure my daughter doesn’t grow up in the kind of world that oppressed my dad.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I recently hosted a party at my house and invited some co-workers. My boss overheard us talking and I felt bad, so I invited her to come over, too. When she arrived, she was taken aback by my house. My wife and I inherited some money and have invested wisely. Thus, we are pretty financially successful. Since the event, she has made comments daily at work about my wealth and how I don’t need my job. It’s embarrassing and annoying. She also excluded me from a new project meeting. When I asked why, she said she was putting some other people on it to gain experience. I’m starting to think she is jealous and trying to push me out. I like this job and my co-workers. It’s true, I don’t need this job, but I like working. Why is she acting like this? It’s as though I broke an unwritten rule.)

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.)

They stressed to her a) that since 1988, I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) that I had always complained about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, c) that I had not helped GAO get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, d) that I had not made GS-13 (currently $94,610) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $111,801) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $131,508) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $161,900) by age 40, e) that she was younger than me, f) that she was a female and that I was a male, g) that she Jewish and I was Missouri Synod Lutheran, h) that she was 100% Russian-American and that I was 100% German American, I) that my ancestor had been in America much longer than her ancestors, J) that she had a degree from an Ivy League university and that I did not, k) that she was a liberal Democrat and that I was a conservative Republican, l) that my wife and I could “afford” to lose in today’s dollars $72,135/year income ($122,991 salary minus $50,856 pension), and m) that my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger than me talked and acted like they would leave GAO if GAO did not get rid of me.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170410/news/170419973/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Democrats Chairman Bob Peickert says he expects more than 800 attendees at the party’s annual gala April 23 in Lombard, twice the usual number. The event will feature Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Keith Ellison and Illinois gubernatorial candidates Chris Kennedy of Kenilworth, Ameya Pawar of Chicago and J.B. Pritzker of Chicago, along with more than two dozen other state and congressional officials. Peickert, of Elmhurst, sees it as one of several signs the formerly rock-ribbed Republican territory is changing. In January, the county party held an informal meeting for local voters and 550 people showed up — 400 of them new to the organization. In November, Hillary Clinton won the county by 14 points over President Donald Trump. Gala tickets are at dupagedemocratsgala.com.)

Republican businessman Ron Gidwitz’ super PAC, the Economic Freedom Alliance, spent more than $36,512 to support 31-year Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar. He also spent more than $61,024 opposing challenger Jackie Traynere’s campaign. Traynere got some help from big name Democrats, including Democratic candidate Pritzker, who wrote her a $2,500 check. AFSME gave her campaign $5,000 and the American Federation of Teachers contributed $1,500. Claar had hosted a Trump fundraiser, angering some and sparking the high-profile battle.)

— Rauner’s Anti-Hate Crime Bill Endorsed by Downers Grove Representative David Olsen The anti-hate crime bill is set to be considered by the full Illinois House of Representatives this month. – Lisa Marie Farver (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps promote hatred against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
https://patch.com/illinois/downersgrove/rauner-s-anti-hate-crime-bill-endorsed-downers-grove-representative
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Representative David S. Olsen (R, Downers Grove) for Bruce Rauner’s anti-hate crime bill recently filed in Springfield. The anti-hate crime bill, HB 2390, aims to change sentencing for those who commit hate crimes in Illinois. Rauner announced his plans for the new hate crime legislation in early March in response to the anti-Semitic crimes that have increased both locally and nationally. In a March 8 press release, he said, “We cannot stay silent on hate. We cannot stay silent when families in our community are in danger. The promise of ‘Never Again’ requires us to take action.” Rep. Olsen recently echoed those words in a statement of his own, “Those who would attack others, verbally or physically, based on their race, color, creed, religion or other perceived classification, need to know their behavior will not be tolerated and that the consequences for such actions will be severe.”)
