CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Law firms try for smooth succession with age, term limits – CLAIRE BUSHEY  (DIERSEN: Non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that except for rare exceptions, a) the longer that you are a federal employee, the less likely that private sector employers will hire you, b) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 ($92,632) by age 25, GS-14 ($109,463) by age 30, GS-15 ($128,759) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($160,300) by age 40, c) 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, and d) virtually everyone despises if not hates federal employees, former federal employees, and federal retirees.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160707/NEWS04/160709889/chicago-law-firms-try-for-smooth-succession-with-age-term-limits
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At Levenfeld Pearlstein, a small Chicago law firm, birthday candles can signal a change in leadership. Last week the firm named David Solomon, 47, to head the corporate and securities practice, taking over from Mary Wasik, who at 60 had hit the firm’s age ceiling for holding a top management spot. At the same time, Laura Friedel, 43, stepped in to run Levenfeld’s labor and employment practice. The 60-lawyer firm with clients like Barrington and Bridgeview banks is one of handful in the Chicago market to lay out age restrictions and term limits for key leadership positions. Partners established the policy to make it easier for younger lawyers to take over management of the firm from their predecessors. Levenfeld Executive Director Angela Hickey said it is an issue many small and midsize law firms fail to address. “Most firms think of succession plans when the executive committee is 70,” she said.)

Of course, needless-to-say, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in Chicago were beyond furious.  They took their anger out me, the last non-veteran Republican in the office who was eligible for early retirement.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Iowa Civil Rights Commission Goes After Churches – Laurie Higgins (DIERSEN: Who works the hardest against you?  Those who promote LGBTQ activity, their operatives, and their dupes work the hardest against me.)
https://illinoisfamily.org/homosexuality/iowa-civil-rights-commission-goes-churches/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The kind of draconian restrictions of speech and religious rights that corrupt Canadian governance are  arriving bit by corroded bit on America’s church steps sooner than many expected and in, of all places,  Iowa. Make no mistake though, this is coming to every state. Iowa, like many other states, has a law banning discrimination based on, among other conditions, “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” in places of public accommodation. To be clear, the rhetorical contrivance “sexual orientation” really means “subjective homoerotic attraction and volitional homoerotic acts,”* and the rhetorical contrivance “gender identity” really means “the subjective desire to be the opposite sex or no sex,” both of which are ontological impossibilities. Iowa also has a Civil Rights Commission that has issued “guidance” on how the state law and corresponding city codes affect churches. It states that the anti-discrimination law—including its provisions regarding homoerotic feelings and sex-rejection—does, in fact, apply to churches. Fortunately, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the Fort Des Moines Church of Christ to prevent the civil rights commission and Iowa attorney general “from forcing Fort Des Moines to use its facility in a way that violates its religious beliefs about human sexuality.” Here are some of the tricksy ways the Iowa Civil Rights Commission seeks to violate the civil rights of Christians.)

http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/286831-gop-senator-touts-break-from-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is highlighting his split from presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump as an example of his independence as he runs for reelection. “My independence is pretty clearly demonstrated when I de-endorsed Donald Trump,” the Illinois Republican told a local radio station. “I felt Donald Trump was too bigoted and racist for the land of Lincoln.” Kirk’s comments come as Senate Republicans meet with Trump at the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The Illinois Republican is one of a handful of vulnerable GOP senators who aren’t attending the closed-door sit-down. Kirk — widely considered one of this year’s most endangered GOP incumbents — was the first, and only, Republican senator to take back his endorsement of Trump from earlier this year. “I have concluded that Donald Trump has not demonstrated the temperament necessary to assume the greatest office in the world,” Kirk said in a statement in June. The Illinois Republican has repeatedly broken from his party as he runs for reelection on issues including Planned Parenthood and gun control. He also played up his decision to buck Trump in an ad last month. Kirk faces an uphill battle for reelection against Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) in a state widely expected to be carried by Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in November. Republicans are defending 24 Senate seats. Democrat need to net five — or flip four and retain the White House — to win back the majority. While Kirk isn’t eager to tie himself to Trump, he also took a swing at Clinton over her use of a private email server while secretary of State. He added in the radio interview: “Democrats should really rebuke her, to leave their whole party to that level of risk.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The typical American adult is using media for a full hour a day more than just last year, with smartphones accounting for most of the increase. People spent an average of 10 hours, 39 minutes each day with smartphones, tablets, TV, radio, computers and video games during the first three months of 2016, according to a Nielsen company study released this week. It was nine hours, 39 minutes during the same period in 2015. Even these numbers are probably underestimated, since while Nielsen measures the amount of time spent online on smartphones, it doesn’t count texting, taking selfies or talking on the phone. Most Americans can sense the increase anecdotally given the ubiquity of smartphones. People stare at screens while waiting in line for fast food, riding in elevators or walking down the street. Retail outlets post signs pleading that phones be turned off. People check messages in bed before falling asleep, and reach for the devices upon waking up.)

— GAO expands probe of lax Wall Street oversight – JONATHAN SPICER  (DIERSEN: For 8 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A U.S. congressional watchdog said on Tuesday it has formally added three agencies to its investigation into whether government regulators are too soft on the banks they are meant to police. In March, Reuters exclusively reported that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) was preparing a probe of the U.S. Federal Reserve and other to-be-determined regulators, in response to a request by Democratic U.S. Representatives Maxine Waters and Al Green for it to look into “regulatory capture.” The review, requested last October, is the first by an outside agency into the perception that financial regulators are “captured” by and too deferential toward the bankers they supervise, so that Wall Street benefits at the public’s expense. Lawrance Evans, director of the GAO’s financial markets and community investment division, said in an email on Tuesday that the probe would include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The GAO will also look back at work by the Office of Thrift Supervision, which merged with the OCC in 2011, and regulates savings and loan institutions.)
