— After decades on disability, cops are put back to work – Tim Novak (DIERSEN: If you asked the Democrats who run GAO today under what conditions they would allow me to return to work, they would laugh uncontrollably and jokingly hint that they might do that if I happily agreed to a) happily denounce Trump and denounce all those who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German national origin, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in for a America long time and b) happily agree be downgraded to GS-9 or lower and agree to work exclusively for their anti-conservative Democrat employees who were minority, female, far younger than me, veteran, those who have far less work experience than I do, those who have far less education than I do, those who have far fewer professional certifications than I do, and those who unlike me, do not have a professional license. They would crow that they use Diersen v. GAO to discourage potential job applicants who are Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For years, Chicago police officers weren’t allowed to return to work until they could walk without assistance, safely fire a gun and arrest a resisting suspect. It was those rules that kept many officers on disability leave for decades, but now the department is easing up and allowing those officers to hold desk jobs.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The ‘progressives’ are sending intimidating emails (in Illinois Congressional District 10) threatening to ‘out’ you – Ed Lasky
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/11/the_progressives_are_sending_intimidating_emails_threatening_to_out_you.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I happen to live in a suburb and district that, too often, votes for Democrats (Illinois 10th, where we are currently represented by a Republican, Bob Dold). This year people in my suburb are getting mailed notices with their names on top and underneath their names, in bold print, “Official Voting Record”. What follows is a rundown on the history of the recipients’ voting record since 2008 in general elections — not who they voted for but whether they voted. Underneath that record is a notification that, while your vote may be secret, whether or not you vote is a matter of public record. . .The mailing continues: This year we’re sending you and your neighbors those records to help you keep track of your civic participation. How would your friends, family and neighbors feel if they saw your voting record and knew you were an infrequent voter” Do your part and make a plan to vote on Tuesday, November 8th. In small fine print is a notice that the mailing was paid for by the “Progressive Turnout Project” and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. However, if one turns to the website of the group, http://www.turnoutpac.org/, one can see in bold headlines “Connecting with voters and getting Democrats to the polls.” At the bottom of the first page is a local P.O. Box address, leading one to think (wrongly) that the group is truly a local, grassroots effort-as they pitch themselves to be. That would be, naturally, a lie. Clicking through the website will show no names of who is running and funding this project, but one will see the races they are targeting across the country. They are in battleground districts with a substantial number of Democrats. Every single politician this group is targeting is a Republican. This “grassroots group” is no such thing and though it may boast it is some sort of civic group that is not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee, it is in reality an AstroTurf (fake grassroots) group, funded by the Democratic Party or its allies to increase the turnout of people who will likely vote Democratic. My friend who shared the mailing with me is not registered as a Democrat or Republican. I am registered as a Republican and did not get the mailing. Clearly the mailing was geared towards increasing the number of votes for the Democrat running in my district, since it is likely that people who are not registered as Republicans would be inclined to vote Democratic. As mentioned above, this district is very mixed between Republicans and Democrats. If you exclude from the mailings registered Republicans, the group increases the odds that their mailings can intimidate people into going to the polls and voting Democratic. But what is most offensive is the intimidation and threat of exposure (blackmail?) to one’s friends, family and neighbors that you chose not to vote. This tactic is underhanded and repugnant-something that should not surprise since the Democratic Party, as Kimberly Strassel has written in her outstanding book, “The Intimidation Game” and as Project Veritas Action has shown with its videos, specialize in intimidation.)

I was blue collar 1964-1970 and I was a union member 1966-1969 and 1971-1980. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois hate past and present blue collar people and hate past and present union members. Then again, they hate just about everyone and everything.)

But an analysis of early votes shows eye-popping Hispanic numbers. – Joshua Green (DIERSEN: How many of the many millions who are in America illegally will use their false identifications to vote for Clinton and for the other Democrats in the November 8, 2016 election?

PARIS TEXAS EXTRA
— National Save for Retirement Week – So Take Action – Stephen Gerrald (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, those who serve as operatives or as dupes for my critics/opponents have saved little or nothing for their retirement. They are filled with envy and they are furious that my wife and I have saved lots of money for our retirement. They hint/imply/argue/shout that we were able to save lots of money for our retirement only because I avoided the draft, only because I have always been overpaid, only because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, only because we did not adopt, only because we did not become foster parents, only because I do not give money to a church, only because etc. They hint/imply/argue/shout that they are going straight to HEAVEN because they have financial problems.)
https://www.eparisextra.com/all-business/114668/its-national-save-for-retirement-week-so-take-action__trashed
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Congress has dedicated the third week of October as National Save for Retirement Week. Clearly, the government feels the need to urge people to do a better job of preparing for retirement. Are you doing all you can? Many of your peers aren’t – or at least they think they aren’t. In a recent survey conducted by Bankrate.com, respondents reported that “not saving for retirement early enough” was their biggest financial regret. Other evidence seems to show they have good cause for remorse: 52% of households 55 and older haven’t saved anything for retirement, according to a report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, although half of this group reported having a pension. Obviously, you’ll want to avoid having either financial regrets or major shortfalls in your retirement savings. And that means you may need to consider making moves such as these: Take advantage of all your opportunities. You may well have access to more than one tax-advantaged retirement plan. Your employer may offer a 401(k) or similar plan, and even if you participate in your employer’s plan, you are probably still eligible to contribute to an IRA. You may not be able to afford to “max out” on both plans, but try to contribute as much as you can afford. At the very least, put in enough to your employer’s plan to earn a matching contribution, if one is offered, and boost your annual contributions every year in which your salary goes up.)

— The Post-Familial Election How the thinning out of families created fertile ground for Trump. – Ross Douthat (DIERSEN: How is your family tree doing? How many children did you and your spouse have, did your parents have, and did your grandparents have? My wife and I gave up trying to have children, my parents had two children, my grandparents on my father’s side had two children and my grandparents on my mother’s side had four children. My brother and my father’s sister never married and had no children.)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/opinion/sunday/the-post-familial-election.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So instead of widening, my family tree tapered, its branches thinned. And it may thin again, since so far the seven cousins in my generation have only three children. All of them are mine. This is a very normal Western family history. Everywhere across the developed world, families have grown more attenuated: fewer and later marriages, fewer and later-born children, fewer brothers and sisters and cousins, more people living for longer and longer stretches on their own. It’s a new model of social life, a “post-familial” revolution that’s unique to late modernity. For a while, conservatives have worried that this revolution is a boon to liberalism, to centralization and bureaucratic control — because as families thin people are more likely to look to politics for community and government for protection. This idea is borne out in voting patterns, where marriage and kids tend to predict Republican affiliation, and the single and divorced are often reliable Democratic partisans. The Obama White House’s “Life of Julia” ad campaign in 2012 — featuring a woman whose every choice was subsidized by the government from cradle to grave, with a lone child but no larger family or community in sight — seemed to many conservatives like a perfect confirmation of our fears: Here was liberalism explicitly pitching the state as a substitute for kith and kin. But while we worried about the liberal vision, our own ideological side was adapting to the family’s attenuation in darker ways — speaking not to singletons or single mothers, but to powerful post-familial anxieties among the middle-aged and old.)

— Studies show going to church is good for mental, physical health – Tyler J. VanderWeele (DIERSEN: Virtually all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are a member of a church, attend church services, and/or give money to a church. They pray a) that GOD would stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) that GOD would end by serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. They thank GOD for helping them a) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, b) end my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, c) end my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster role, d) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, e) end my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, f) end my GAO employment, g) end etc. They pray that GOD would viciously smite down anyone who might support me.)

LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL
— The real national embarrassment – Robert Samuelson
http://www.reviewjournal.com/the-real-national-embarrassment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All this suggests an obvious immigration agenda. First, we need to reduce illegal immigrants, both because illegality is bad in its own right and because the constant inflow frustrates assimilation. To further discourage illegal immigration, we should make E-Verify — a system for employers to check the immigration status of job applicants — mandatory for most businesses. We also need to legalize the vast majority of undocumented workers who have been here for years and don’t have a criminal record. Finally, we need to reform legal immigration so that it favors the entry of high-skilled workers, who aid the economy and assimilate more easily.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Review: Listen, Liberals! And Hear The Political Rage Of America’s Dispossessed – Robert Kuttner (DIERSEN: In your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois, who takes the lead in demonizing, denigrating, and condemning those who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, draft avoiders, those who are of German national origin, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors? I should write a book about the aforesaid in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)
http://www.nationalmemo.com/review-listen-liberals-political-rage-americas-dispossessed/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Five years ago, the sociologist Arlie Hochschild set out to better understand what she called the “deep story” of the mostly white, mostly downwardly mobile Americans who made up the fervent constituency of the Tea Party, and now of Donald Trump. These are the people who ostensibly vote against their economic self-interests, as Thomas Frank contended more than a decade ago in What’s the Matter with Kansas? They loathe a government that often redistributes and regulates in their favor.)

GUARDIAN
— The Republicans and Democrats failed blue-collar America. The left behind are now having their say As industry and the Democrats abandoned the working and middle classes, Republicans posed as their protectors. But can either Trump or Clinton really restore hope to the many Americans who think the country no longer works for them? – Thomas Frank (DIERSEN: Because I refuse to hate unions and because I refuse to hate union members, union-haters hate me. I was a union member for almost 12 years. Should I write a book about those who hate unions and hate union members the most in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois? Should I write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who hated unions and hated union members the most?)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as never having to take such bad jobs when they were young.)

FORBES
— Cracking The Code On Gen Z: Do As I Say, Not As I Do – Neale Godfrey (DIERSEN: I started saving for my retirement in 1966 when I was 18 years old when I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension. Money Magazine reported in its February 1978 issue that as of the end of 1977, I had made $7,393 in CSRS contributions or 7% of the $105,614 that IRS had paid me since 1971. Subsequently, to get 3 years of full-time CSRS credit even though I had only worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office, I paid CSRS 7% of what the Post Office paid me 1966-1969 plus interest.)
http://www.forbes.com/sites/nealegodfrey/2016/11/06/cracking-the-code-on-gen-z-do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Baby Boomers Blew It We Baby Boomers did fail when planning for our financial future, but part of the problem is that our future is being prolonged. We are living longer and therefore outliving our resources. In 1900, the average lifespan was 47 years. Today, AARP reports that a 65-year old is expected to be able to blow out their birthday candles at 85 years of age. Wow, get out and enjoy your retirement. This is great news unless you happen to be an average American, between the age of 55 and 64, who has only accrued $104,000 in retirement savings, according to the June 2015 Government Accountability Office. To sum this up, a longer life span means that 47 percent of the oldest Baby Boomers are at risk of not having enough money for retirement, as reported by Employee Benefit Research Institute. Options are scary. Keep working? Live with the kids? Your choices get limited. We Baby Boomers have not set a great example for the Gen Z’ers who are just getting out of school, entering the workforce and trying to design their own financial futures.)

http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/progressive-caucus-wants-guarantee-in-100m-neighborhood-fund/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The City Council’s Progressive Caucus is demanding that an ordinance creating Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $100 million “Catalyst Fund” include an ironclad guarantee that the money will be invested in neighborhoods truly in need. The all-purpose revenue ordinance that Emanuel introduced at Tuesday’s City Council meeting falls far short of that demand. It states that “priority would be given to investment funds” that put their money into projects “located in census tracts eligible for Community Reinvestment Act credit.”)

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/Eric-Trump-Says-David-Duke-Deserves-a-Bullet-399980191.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s son Eric took a verbal shot at David Duke and his white nationalists supporters Thursday, saying the former Ku Klux Klan leader “deserves a bullet.” Eric Trump told conservative radio host Ross Kaminsky, of Denver’s 630 KHOW, that Duke and his supporters are “horrible people,” and praised his father for his attempts at outreach to the black community. “Ross, it’s disgusting, and by the way, if I said exactly what you said, I’d get killed for it, but I think I’ll say it anyway, the guy does deserve a bullet,” Trump said of Duke. “In fact, I commend my father. My father is the first Republican who’s gone out and said, ‘Listen, what’s happened to the African-American community is horrible and I’m going to take care of it.'”)

— Influencing law firm bonuses The politics of bonus pay – Kevin Lewis (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all my bosses were Democrats. Further, during my last 8 years, my boss’s boss was a female Democrat, and during my last 4 years, my boss was a female Democrat. To get her to do their dirty work, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates stressed to her a) that while she was a liberal Democrat, I was a conservative Republican, b) that while she was Jewish, I was Missouri Synod Lutheran, c) that while she was Russian national origin, I was German national origin, d) that while her ancestors were recent immigrants, my ancestors had been in America since the 1840s, e) that while she was younger, I was older, f) that while she had children to worry about, I did not, g) that I opposed gender based preference giving, h) that I opposed age discrimination, i) that I never made GS-14, j) that etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: BEFORE YOU AGREE to work somewhere, check the boss’s political donations. Business school professors at Penn State analyzed confidential data from a large law firm and found that bonus pay for male associates, relative to other associates of the same seniority, grew significantly faster than bonus pay for female associates the more conservative their supervising partners were (as measured by political donations). This was true even controlling for the associate’s gender, race, parental status, billable hours, and law-school ranking; the age, gender, and race of supervising partners; and the political orientation of other partners and the department head.)

— One Way to Ensure Equal Pay for Men and Women The private sector doesn’t compensate women fairly. Can it learn anything from the federal hiring process? – ALEXIA FERNANDEZ CAMPBELL (DIERSEN: In 1989, the Democrats who ran GAO started their pay-for-performance system a) to retain and to promote their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger and b) to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, without question, under that system, my Democrat GAO superiors always ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers and never gave me any bonuses.)
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/11/how-the-government-mostly-closed-its-gender-pay-gap/506084/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When employers come up with salaries, there are two different ways they think about how much a worker should earn. Jacque Simon, the public policy director for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a union, puts it this way: Should a salary be tied to the job itself, or to the individual hired to fill it? In the first scenario, employers decide what they are willing to pay for someone to carry out a certain role. In the second, the employer focuses more on the individual and what they are worth to an organization. Federal employers fit into the first category, using a rigid pay scale similar to ones favored by labor unions. Labor unions view structured pay scales as a means of preventing discrimination based on gender, as well as age, race, and other categories. “Once you give supervisors in the federal government the ability to vary pay by individual, rather than job, they are going to reward the people they like the best,” says Simon. In the federal government, most white-collar jobs are governed by the General Schedule, which includes 15 general pay levels that vary based on the experience, skills, and education needed for a position. Each job opening is posted at one of these levels, so candidates can only negotiate within the minimum or maximum pay range (there are 10 steps within each level). The pay system, which was launched 1949, was designed to ensure that people with the same skills got paid the same salaries. Limiting salary negotiations benefits women because research shows that they are less likely to negotiate salaries, and are more likely to be penalized if they do. Also, giving hiring managers more discretion may introduce inadvertent biases when putting together an offer. This has been effective, but it still leaves room for some discretion, not all of it good. For example, some federal agencies base salary offers on what an applicant made at his or her previous job, which contributes to disparities in pay, according to the Office of Personnel Management, the federal agency that oversees hiring and payroll. So, this year, the office urged agencies to consider an applicant’s previous salary as only one of many factors in drawing up offers, because that number may be, as is often the case for female job candidates who left the workforce for several years, artificially depressed. (Though senior government executives are not paid within the General Schedule system, their pay scale is somewhat a continuation of it, with more discretion in pay negotiations.)

Are/were you a government employee? I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. Are you a government retiree? I have been a federal retiree for more than 19 years. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161102/discuss/161109662/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The public pension crisis in Illinois is a runaway train. So when we see someone actually try to apply the brakes, we take notice. The DuPage County Forest Preserve District this week approved a sweeping series of changes to its employee pay policies that leaders predict will save the county $6 million over the next 20 years. That might not seem like a lot of money, but it’s not chump change. What it is an important step in the right direction. Just think of how this could mushroom if similar steps were taken in many of the other 6,900-plus taxing bodies in Illinois. A story today by staff writer Robert Sanchez lays out how forest preserve commissioners have decided to ratchet down an established bonus program and also put the brakes on lump-sum payouts to qualifying or retiring employees for unused sick time. “These changes will curb long-term spending, especially in the area of pension costs,” Commissioner Jeff Redick said, “and allow us to responsibly serve the taxpayers and both our current and future employees.” The district for years has handed out longevity-based bonuses to retiring or qualifying employees that averaged $15,000 to $20,000. You don’t find that in a lot of private-sector jobs. Not anymore. Nor do you find many companies that still — if ever — reimburse employees for unused sick time. The district isn’t going to take money from people already expecting it. Like companies that have eliminated their 401(k) contributions in lean times, those employees who already are in the bonus program — called a “retention incentive” program — will still get bonuses, but starting Jan. 1 they no longer will grow. Those who haven’t yet qualified for the bonus program never will. The district also is putting limits on lump-sum payments for sick days accrued after the start of next year. What is even more important is that the forest preserve district has decided to eliminate both the bonus and sick time payback from the calculation of pensions. That in itself is expected to save $4.5 million in pension liability over the next 20 years. In a time when pension payments in some cases are reaching a tipping point with operational costs for governmental bodies, it’s important to look toward ways in which the private sector has managed to stay afloat in tough financial times. Other taxing bodies should follow this example.)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-katy-tur-florida-rally_us_581aa7b8e4b0c43e6c1e1795
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP nominee Donald Trump singled out NBC News reporter Katy Tur on Wednesday during a rally in Florida, continuing to taunt reporters covering his campaign. Tur has been embedded with the Trump campaign, following the candidate throughout the presidential race. Trump in the past has called out Tur publicly by name, and has referred to her as “Little Katy, third-rate journalist.” During his usual takedown of the “dishonest media” in Miami on Wednesday, Trump called out the press – and specifically Tur – for being biased and not reporting fairly on his campaign. “We have massive crowds. They’re something happening. They’re not reporting it. Katy, you’re not reporting it, Katy.” Trump said to cheers. “But there’s something happening, Katy. There’s something happening, Katy.” CNN host Wolf Blitzer last week asked Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway to talk to the Republican nominee about singling out reporters, especially those embedded with the campaign, citing safety concerns. “He points to them, he sort of eggs the crowd on to go after them,” Blitzer said. “There are a lot of young journalists. He shouldn’t be doing that.” Conway appeared on Blitzer’s CNN show later Wednesday and defended Trump, saying he didn’t intend to suggest that anyone be mean to Tur or to attack her. “After he did that . . . she was harassed by a lot of the people over there,” Blitzer said. “The last time we spoke, you told me you shared my concerns about the singling out of these embeds … You said you would talk to him. How did that conversation go?” “The conversation was very productive and I’ve also talked to NBC News today,” Conway said. “Look, we want fair coverage and we wan’t everybody to be safe at our rallies. I don’t appreciate a lot of the threats I get either from people who I guess are worried that we may actually win this thing.” After Trump taunted Tur, other journalists tweeted #ImWithTur in support of the NBC News reporter. Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims – 1.6 billion members of an entire religion – from entering the U.S.)

— Staples offering employees $100/month to help pay off student loans – Gail MarksJarvis (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, it offered either no reimbursement for tuition for job-related college courses or just a token reimbursement. My superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used that non-reimbursement policy to justify their not taking job-related college courses. Nevertheless, I spent a tremendous amount of my own time and my own money earning a job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, earning three job-related masters degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, and earning two job-related professional certifications in 1979 and 1981.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-staples-student-loan-help-1102-20161102-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Saples has become the latest company trying to attract and keep young workers who are fretting about how they will pay their college student loans. The company announced Wednesday that it will provide $100 a month for up to 36 months to full-time sales associates and “high potential” and “top performing” employees who are paying off student loans or in the process of earning a degree. With unemployment low, many companies are struggling to pull in and retain dedicated young workers with good skills, and increasingly they are eyeing help with student loans as a means to stand out as an employer, said Gary Kushner, president of Kushner & Co. a Michigan-based benefits consulting firm. While large companies such as Fidelity Investments and PriceWaterhouseCoopers have received national attention for providing the new benefit, small and medium-size companies are especially interested in it as a retention tool, he said. “If you are fortunate enough to get skills and the right cultural fit, you want to hold onto the person as long as you can,” said Kushner. He noted that retailers especially face a struggle. About 4 percent of employers have been offering student loan repayment help this year, according to a Society for Human Resource Management survey of employers. Americans have about $1.2 trillion in student loan debt and about half of those with loans have monthly payments that are excessive based on their incomes, according to a study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Academic research has shown the pressure of college loans is causing some millennials to delay marriage, children and home purchases. . .The company also is offering a tuition reimbursement program for some employees who pursue education while working and gives 30 college scholarships of $3,000 each to children of employees. Helping employees pursue education while on the job is not a new benefit. In contrast to the new perk aimed at new workers with student loans, the old programs were designed to increase skills of existing employees. According to the Society for Human Resource Management, tuition reimbursement programs for employees who go to undergraduate or master’s programs have been cut back in recent years. In 2012, 58 percent of employers were offering the benefit to employees going to graduate school. In 2016, that had dropped to 52 percent. For undergraduate tuition, 61 percent were giving benefits in 2012, but that had dropped to 55 percent in 2016. Tanya Mulvey, researcher for the human resources group, said that employers have been looking for ways to cut some benefit costs to make up for the extra cost of health insurance. The average tuition reimbursement per employee per year was $4,442 in 2016, she said. Companies offering tuition reiumbursements can receive a tax deduction.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161102/NEWS02/161109955/illinois-pension-woes-are-not-so-bad-after-all
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New Jersey became the state with the worst-funded public pension system in the U.S. in 2015, followed closely by Kentucky and Illinois. The Garden State had $135.7 billion less than it needs to cover all the benefits that have been promised, a $22.6 billion increase over the prior year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Illinois’s unfunded pension liabilities rose to $119.1 billion from $111.5 billion. The two were among states whose retirement systems slipped further behind as rock-bottom bond yields and lackluster stock-market gains caused investment returns to fall short of targets. The median state pension had 74.5 percent of assets needed to meet promised benefits, down from 75.6 percent the prior year. The decline followed two years of gains. The shortfall for states overall was $1.1 trillion in 2015.)
— Conspiracy theories abound – GREG HINZ
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161102/BLOGS02/161109949/trump-rauner-madigan-conspiracy-theories-abound
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This being the election year of the conspiracy theory, allow me to let you in on a couple of the better ones floating around the Land of Lincoln. They’re not quite as provocative as tales about who’s really pulling FBI chief James Comey’s strings, or what Vladimir Putin promised Donald Trump. But anything that involves Bruce Rauner, Mike Madigan, zillions of TV ad dollars and hidden income tax returns reaches a certain level of interest. Story No. 1 concerns the big super PAC that state Sen. Dan Biss put together, the one no one had heard of until a couple of weeks ago, when it suddenly started spending big money—now $10 million or so—on ads tying Gov. Rauner to the GOP presidential nominee, who may be popular in some places but not in most of Illinois.)

NADIG NEWSPAPERS
— Election ‘environment’ portends GOP losses – RUSS STEWART (DIERSEN: What class are you in? (1) the won’t haves; (2) the entitlement class; (3) the keep what I haves; (4) the haves; or the (5) the wealthy?)
http://nadignewspapers.com/2016/11/02/election-environment-portends-gop-losses/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead of having to plow through 1,500 words to ascertain this columnist’s Nov. 8 predictions, here is the list, in the first paragraph: Hillary Clinton, Tammy Duckworth, Susana Mendoza, Brad Schneider, a Democratic U.S. Senate majority, a narrow Republican U.S. House majority, Mike Madigan and a 68-50 House majority, Laura Murphy, a Cook County Democratic tsunami, and, in an oddity, Republican state Representative Mike McAuliffe. The biggest loser will be Bruce Rauner, and the biggest winner will be the status quo. On Nov. 9 the nationwide and Illinois political environment will be barely different from Nov. 8. Environment. In real estate, success in selling famously is determined by location, location, location. In politics, success in winning is determined by environment, environment, environment. The end of the 2016 election campaign is decidedly un-Trump, non-Trump and anti-Trump. Being a Democrat in a Democratic-friendly nation, state or district, is the ticket to victory. That was not always so. The campaign, which began in mid-2015, shaped up as an anti-status quo year. It is ending as a status quo year. There is so much wrong in America and with America — the economy, the political system, the criminal justice system, wealth allocation, the health care system, the education system and the country’s foreign policy. Should not the Obama-Clinton Administration be held accountable? It’s not. It’s all just sound and fury. Up until the 1990s the country was divided between the haves and the have nots. Now it’s schismed between (1) the won’t haves, essentially the Millennial generation, which has maximum debt and minimal job opportunities and which views income redistribution as the solution; (2) the entitlement class, which includes retirees and all those who receive some income from some government source; (3) the keep what I haves, primarily the working class, struggling to pay their bills and affected the most by crime, property taxes and neighborhood change; (4) the haves, those families earning more than $100,000, spending more than they make, worth maybe $1 million, and worried about the future; and (5) the wealthy, the infamous top 1 percent, whose net worth is $10 million and up. Of those demographic sectors, only two in 2016 sought to upset the status quo, the Millennials, who embraced Bernie Sanders’ socialism, and the working class, who embraced Donald Trump’s anti-elitist populism. Each was sending the message no more Clintonism, Obamaism, Bushism, elitism, insiderism and favoritism. Yet, on Nov. 8, all of those “isms” will triumph.)

— Illinois Opportunity Project Denies Sitting On People’s Ballot Applications But state Democrats suspect a voter suppression effort. – Arthur Delaney
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/illinois-ballot-applications_us_581a1a26e4b08f9841aca2d3
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pat Hughes, the co-founder of the Illinois Opportunity Project, the conservative group that distributed the applications, said the criticism is bogus because the applications have, in fact, been submitted to the clerk. “It’s a red herring,” Hughes said. “It’s a pretext for harassment.” The Illinois attorney general’s office last week warned voters that if they filled out vote-by-mail ballot applications, they should “stay alert and monitor whether they then receive a ballot in the mail.” The office, which is headed by Lisa Madigan, a Democrat, sent several letters last month to the Illinois Opportunity Project demanding information about its vote-by-mail efforts in Rock Island and six other Illinois counties. Maura Possley, a spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office, said people were confused because the group’s vote-by-mail solicitation didn’t say who it was coming from. “Because the Illinois Opportunity Project’s mailings do not identify that organization and, instead, are sent from ‘[Name of County] County Vote By Mail Center’, they have led to voter confusion regarding whether they are official documents from the counties,” Possley said in an email. The Illinois Opportunity Project has ties to Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican. One of the group’s co-founders, the conservative radio host Dan Proft, also heads up a big-spending political action committee that is funded partly by Rauner. The governor is looking to chip away at Democrats’ supermajority in the state legislature. Madigan’s father, state Rep. Michael Madigan (D), has been speaker of the Illinois House for decades. The Illinois kerfuffle is one of several voting controversies, some more serious than others, unfolding in various states as Election Day nears.)

FED WEEK
— Pay Gap Little Changed at 34 Percent (DIERSEN: Are you non-veteran, White, male, and/or older? Are/were you accused of being overpaid? My critics/opponents have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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 33.)
http://www.fedweek.com/fedweek/pay-gap-little-changed-34-percent/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal-private sector pay gap remains essentially unchanged from a year ago at 34.07 percent, the Federal Salary Council has reported. While that represents the official word, based on BLS data, it likely will have little to no impact on the prospects for the January 2017 federal employee raise, which will be 1.6 percent unless political leaders take up the raise issue. They have shown no sign of interest in doing so this year, similar to the pattern of the prior three years when the council also reported a pay gap in the 34-35 percent range but raises only in the 1-2 percent range were paid—also in each case by default when no figure was enacted. The 1.6 percent raise is to be paid as 1 percentage point across the board and the 0.6 percent divided as locality pay. The largest gaps, and thus the largest locality pay portions to be paid, were found to be in the San Francisco, Washington-Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles and Sacramento areas. However, even in those areas, the raise likely will be only in about the 1.8 percent range. The lowest-paid locality, meanwhile, is the catchall rest of U.S., which covers areas in the contiguous states outside one of the 44 city areas (Alaska and Hawaii are separate localities in their entirety) as well as U.S. territories and possessions. The raise in those areas likely will be around 1.4 percent; exact figures are to be set by a late-year executive order formalizing the raise. Locality rates are paid according to where employees work, not where they live, and reflect comparisons of labor market conditions, not cost of living.)

In my defense, I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels (currently $77,899-$88,286) and for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels (currently $92,632-$120,427). I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997. I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996.)
http://thesouthern.com/news/opinion/mailbag/voice-of-the-reader-qualified-for-comptroller/article_5153c62c-3846-58d4-a74a-31557ec1078f.html
(FROM THE LETTER: In the midst of the national campaign, we must not forget the elections closer to home that impact us. One such office is that of the state comptroller. This is a position of great importance given the mismanagement and financial state we are in. The comptroller is in essence the state’s head accountant, and neither of the major parties candidates running have any accounting experience. In fact, the state of Illinois has never had an accountant elected to this office. This year, that could change. The most qualified candidate is Libertarian Claire Ball. She has real world experience with both a bachelors and masters degree in accounting, and has received her CPA. Claire Ball has presented a comprehensive plan for accountability and transparency for the office. Claire Ball has also called attention to the payments of lobbyists ahead of social services that close by the day. What Claire Ball won’t be, is beholden to a party instead of the people. She has neither Rauner or Madigan to answer to. Claire Ball can perform arithmetic that the incumbent recently had difficulty with. Claire Ball will also not be using the office as a stepping stone as have the two major parties done in the past. This Nov. 8, vote for the most qualified and capable candidate. The state of Illinois’ finances can not continue under the tenure of the parties who have so badly damaged it. Vote for Libertarian Claire Ball.)

They provided me with room and board in their home in Crete 1966-1968 while I attended UIC, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.)
http://www.starcourier.com/news/20161101/sen-weaver-named-to-advisory-council-on-at-risk-students
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Sen. Chuck Weaver (R-Peoria) has been appointed to the Illinois General Assembly’s Advisory Council on At Risk Students, a panel charged with finding ways to improve educational opportunities and access for disadvantaged students. “A student’s education lays the foundation for the future success in life, which is why it’s so important that we make sure all of our students have the best possible access to education,” said Senator Weaver. “This council will allow us to continually work to find new ways to help our most at-risk students succeed.” The Advisory Council on At Risk Students is made up of 20 members, most members are education and human service professionals. The Republican leader in the Senate was allowed to select one person to serve on the council and she selected Senator Weaver. The council will file an annual report with the General Assembly to recommend changes to be implemented. Sen. Weaver, whose district includes the Kewanee area, has long worked as an advocate for students and disadvantaged children, as a past president of the Youth Farm in Peoria where he served on the board for 28 years. He was involved in merging Youth Farm with the Childrens Home, one of Illinois’ premier providers for at risk children. “We have some serious challenges to face with our educational system, but I’m truly excited at the opportunity to work toward ensuring a quality education for every student,” said Weaver.)

— University of Texas student government wants to ‘disband’ Young Conservatives for ‘hate-filled’ bake sale (DIERSEN: Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, ever-increasingly, you are viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned if you do not promote Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion, that is, if you do not promote discrimination against Whites and against men.)
http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/29750/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Administration: Sorry, it’s ‘protected speech’ The University of Texas-Austin has pledged to ignore demands from student officials to “disband” a conservative student group following its satirical “affirmative action bake sale” last week. Several Student Government (SG) representatives filed a resolution against Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) that also called for the administration to punish and even expel students who commit “future incidents of bias.” Without referring to the resolution, YCT sent a legal threat letter to UT President Gregory Fenves. It said the group would sue UT if it took “punitive action” against YCT for its speech, citing a federal law that allows lawsuits against public officials for retaliating against or chilling protected speech. A university spokesman told The College Fix in an email Tuesday night that won’t happen, because UT “does not and will not take action against an organization for protected speech.” ‘More of a movement’ than actual legislation At an SG assembly meeting Tuesday night, shortly after the university said it wouldn’t punish YCT, representatives nonetheless voted to “fast track” the resolution, known as AR-15, The Daily Texan reported. Debate was extended at the unusually lengthy meeting, according to the Daily. President Kevin Helgren said YCT’s bake sale was “hate-filled” but emphasized that the university could choose to ignore an approved resolution. Co-author and co-sponsor Priya Suri said the resolution was “more of a movement and a statement that we stand in solidarity with people of color and people who were emotionally affected” by the bake sale. The outcry against YCT’s bake sale started with a student petition that alleged the cheeky demonstration against racial preferences – which was partly led by a black student – was a “hate crime.” It had 860 signatures as of Tuesday night. The new petition was followed by the SG resolution, which has seven sponsors and 12 authors. Two authors work in the Multicultural Engagement Center, though neither is listed as full-time staff – Cameron Maxwell, director of external relations for African American Affairs, and Alejandrina Guzman, director of Latino Leadership Summit for Latino Community Affairs. It’s not the first petition to try to kill YCT at UT for a political demonstration – three years ago, more than 5,000 people signed a similar petition. The resolution is dripping with contempt for what it characterizes as UT’s hands-off approach to offensive campus speech. It cites the bake sale; a Feb. 20 incident where white UT students allegedly threw bottles and yelled a racial slur at a black student; Phi Gamma Delta’s 2015 “border patrol” party, which was investigated by the dean of students; and the cause of the prior petition, YCT’s planned “Catch an Illegal Immigrant” game (canceled due to “safety concerns“), among other incidents. The resolution says UT took “no punitive action” against “identifiable university-associated perpetrators” in most of the incidents. It suggests that UT should punish students when their actions provoke “large-scale protests and outrage.”)

JOURNAL COURIER
— John Anthony: A life defined by race – Scott Reeder (DIERSEN: Many, if not most of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-German-American. What if from the beginning I had pretended to be Swedish-American? While all my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s, according to DNA Ancestry at http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)
http://myjournalcourier.com/news/101941/commentary-a-life-defined-by-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June, Anthony resigned his seat in the General Assembly to accept a leadership position with the Illinois Department of Corrections. And this month he began his search for his identity. He took a DNA test to determine his ancestry, which he didn’t know much about. He was born to a single, teenage mom and never met his father. “I was always told he was Puerto Rican and it was a one-night stand,” he said. “I’ve never known who my Dad was. I took the DNA test from Ancestry.com. The results have come back. I didn’t realize that I was Irish. I’m 13 different ethnicities. I’m not distressed – it’s a good thing. But have you ever experienced anything that was so good it was overwhelming? I’ve waited 40 years to find out who my dad is and I believe I’m on the verge of finding out who the family is.” One of the more startling discoveries of his DNA test is that he is only 44 percent black. And there is little clear evidence of whether he is at all Hispanic. ”I’m clueless as to what I am now. This has been an eye-opening experience.” His bewilderment is understandable. After all, fifty-three years after Martin Luther King, Jr. said he dreamed of his children being judged by the content of the character rather than the color of their skin, race remains the nation’s sore spot. Sadly, our society still clings to such labels. Amid his bewilderment, Anthony says he hopes to determine a greater sense of self. The DNA test has enabled him to connect with some distant cousins. Through networking with these relatives, he hopes to determine the identity of his father and determine if he has any biological siblings. “In the next couple weeks, I hope to be visiting someone in Illinois who is of the actual line of my father.” When asked if he still considered himself black, Anthony said. “Well, I’m 44 percent African. I asked my wife, ‘What does that make me?’ I guess the only thing I’m sure of is that I’m an American.”)

— Federal employees behind in pay by 34 percent on average, salary council says – Eric Yoder
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/10/31/federal-employees-behind-in-pay-by-34-percent-on-average-salary-council-says/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal workers earn 34.07 percent on average less than private-sector employees doing comparable work, according to the government’s official, although not universally accepted, tally of how salaries compare. The figure was announced at Friday’s annual meeting of the Federal Salary Council, a group of union representatives and outside experts on compensation that oversees the General Schedule, the pay system for white-collar workers below the senior ranks. In the prior three years, the reported overall average “pay gap” was about the same — 35.37, 35.28 and 34.92 percent. “Federal pay needs to be substantially increased,” said National Treasury Employees Union president Tony Reardon, a member of the council. “When you look at the private sector, what kind of pay increases they have had, it dwarfs what federal employees have received. It’s time for Congress to step up and pay federal employees what they deserve to be paid.” The “pay gap” figures are based on Labor Department surveys comparing salary data on 250 federal occupations at various levels of responsibility with corresponding rates in local labor markets. Other comparisons, using different data and different methods, have reached much different conclusions. Reports from the conservative Heritage Foundation in 2010 and the American Enterprise Institute in 2011 found a pay advantage for federal workers of 22 and 14 percent, respectively, while the libertarian Cato Institute last year reported a 78 percent advantage. The Congressional Budget Office concluded in 2012 that federal workers were ahead by 2 percent on average, with less educated ones further ahead and more educated ones behind the private sector. Those reports said that the value of employment-related benefits, which the Labor Department data do not account for, further favors federal employees. The Government Accountability Office said in a 2012 report that no one approach to assessing pay is definitive.)

On September 16, 1996, I presented oral arguments to Chief Judge Posner and to Circuit Court Judges Coffey and Kanne. On March 31, 1997, the Appellate Court agreed with me and ruled that DOT’s exemption for cars over 10 years old was invalid.)

— Illinois Council of Aging provides department updates – Lhalie Castillo (DIERSEN: From what I see, virtually all people promote age discrimination until age discrimination first harms them personally in a big way. Age discrimination first harmed me personally in a big way in 1974 when I was 25 years old. In the federal government, if you are a non-veteran White male, the federal government wastes your career gets rid of you if you do not make GS-13 (currently $92,632) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $109,463) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $128,759) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $160,300) by age 40. While I made GS-12 (currently $77,899) by age 25, I did not make GS-13 until I was 38. Because of that and because in 1988 I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged the federal government with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, the federal government forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Place of Race in Air Traffic Control – Dan Subotnik (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, since the 1960s, to promote Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion, that is, to give preference to young minorities and to young females, the federal government has lowered its hiring and promotion standards, made those standards less objective, and made those standards more subjective.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/10/the_place_of_race_in_air_traffic_control.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since we cannot be sure that the FAA can be trusted to put safety first, its initial mandate, one has to wonder whether diversity might be weighted too heavily. The larger point here is that the FAA has not been straight with us. The first order of FAA business then should be to explain itself in full. Has technology replaced the need for technical skill? If the FAA continues to stonewall, we are left with the kind of government arrogance that rallies people to Donald Trump and, to the extent that the FAA is training people who may not have competitive skills, to a distinct sense of foreboding. Dan Subotnik, Professor at Touro Law School, is author of “Toxic Diversity, Race, Gender, and Law Talk” (NYU) and many articles (the latest in Academic Questions).)

WHEATON RECORD
— Wheaton College’s history of political involvement – Kelsey Plankeel

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite not hosting a presidential candidate since 1992, Wheaton College has a rich history of hosting, producing and gaining support from prominent political leaders since its foundation by Jonathan Blanchard — who once ran for president himself — in 1860. Of all of Wheaton’s renowned visitors, perhaps the most impressive are the nine presidential candidates who visited Wheaton’s campus between 1960 and 1992. The first was Richard M. Nixon, the Vice President and 1960 Republican presidential candidate at the time. Nixon appeared at a rally on McCully field and, according to the Wheaton College Archives, encouraged the crowd to “strengthen the faith of America” and “see that young people grow up with faith in God.” Nixon later won the presidency. President Jimmy Carter was the last president to visit Wheaton. He delivered the February 1992 LeRoy H. Pfund Lecture. Other visitors with presidential aspirations included Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress, 1964 Republican candidate Barry Goldwater, 1972 Democratic candidate George McGovern, President Ronald Reagan, President George H.W. Bush and the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, a populist Democrat who ran for president in 1896, 1900 and 1908, was also a guest of Wheaton. Most recently, 2012 Republican Vice Presidential and current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan gave a speech at a Wheaton breakfast in spring of 2015. Many alumni have also gone on to become recognized public figures. Disgraced ex-Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was a 1964 graduate. At one point, Hastert served in Congress alongside three other Wheaton graduates: Republican Indiana Senator Dan Coats ’65, Republican Michigan Representative Paul B. Henry ’63 and Democratic Washington Representative Jim McDermott ’58. Other alumni in politics include Michael Gerson ’86, chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush who helped write Bush’s memorable post-9/11 speeches. More infamously, David R. Young Jr. ’59 was a special assistant at the National Security Council in the Nixon Administration. Young co-founded the White House Special Investigations Unit — known as “The Plumbers” — known for breaking into a psychiatry office and later attempting to break into the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex, instigating the Watergate scandal. Additionally, several public figures have supported Wheaton financially in the past as Trustees. Owen Lovejoy was a founding Trustee of Wheaton College, U.S. Congressman and friend of Abraham Lincoln. A scholarship was later presented in his name. Another trustee, Salmon P. Chase, was a Senator, governor of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Chase was the great-great uncle of Wheaton’s sixth president and the great-great-great uncle of Ken Chase, current chair of the Communication department at Wheaton. He is also the face of the $10,000 bill. David Iglesias, current director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics and professor of politics and law, graduated from Wheaton in 1980. In 2001, Iglesias was appointed the U.S. State Attorney for the District of New Mexico under the Bush administration. He also served in the U.S. Navy in 2008 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom as a terrorism and war crimes prosecutor and has held various other national and state positions. Iglesias said Wheaton helped prepare him for public service in three ways: “It gave me the confidence to speak in public; it gave me the Biblical basis for getting involved in the political process; it helped me organize my thoughts and ensure I was focusing on facts, not arguments.” Politics and international relations department chair and associate professor of politics Bryan McGraw said Wheaton tries to “prepare all of our students to exercise leadership in whatever field they choose to go into.” Specifically, Wheaton equips aspiring political leaders to use the gifts given to them to effect justice worldwide, according to McGraw. “We would hope that Wheaton graduates — and Christians more broadly — would be more likely to grasp that call clearly and have the freedom and courage to put it into effect.”)
