— Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner Attends Koch Brothers Donor Summit in California – Mary Ann Ahern  (DIERSEN: Rauner should say NO to potential donors who want him to promote mass/illegal immigration, LGBTQ activity, abortion, booze, pot, gambling, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, race based preference giving, gender based preference giving, age discrimination, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, and even worse things.)
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/illinois-governor-bruce-rauner-trump-executive-order-412090203.html
(FROM THE THE ARTICLE: However, the seminar is also considered a chance for 2018 Republican candidates to meet potential donors. Led by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, the Koch network plans to spend up to $400 million on policy and political campaigns during the midterm cycle, according to several reports including from the Washington Post. This weekend marks the largest gathering of potential donors for Koch Industries, with more than 500 people in attendance. Only three governors joined the Palm Springs summit: Rauner, Wisconsin’s Scott Walker and Arizona’s Doug Ducey, along with five Republican U.S. senators.)

WASHINGTON POST
— In unprecedented move, pension plan cuts benefits promised to retirees – Jonnelle Marte  (DIERSEN: If you are in line to get a pension or if you are getting a pension, who wants your pension to be cut, if not eliminated? I should write a book about those who want my $50,856 Civil Service Retirement System pension to be cut, if not eliminated. I could focus on those who are full of hatred against those who are in line to get a pension and against those like me who are getting a pension.  I could focus on the aforesaid haters who regularly read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2017/01/27/in-unprecedented-move-pension-plan-approves-benefit-cuts-for-retired-iron-workers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A pension fund in Cleveland became the first plan to approve benefit cuts for current retirees — even though it is still years away from running out of cash. The move, some critics say, could open the door for other troubled pension plans to follow suit. The financially strapped Iron Workers Local 17 Pension fund proposed a plan for extending its life span by reducing benefits for workers and retirees. Now that the plan has received final approval, roughly half of the 2,000 participants will see their pension benefits shrink on Feb. 1. Benefits will be cut by 20 percent on average, but some retirees are expecting their monthly payments to be slashed by as much as 60 percent. The unprecedented move comes after a 2014 law made it possible for troubled pension plans to reduce benefits to retirees if it would improve the financial health of the fund. The legislation dealt a major blow to federal protections that for nearly 40 years guarded the financial promises made to retirees. The announcement stunned some former ironworkers, many of whom said they sacrificed time with family and other opportunities so that they could earn a secure income stream in retirement. Joe Finley, 63, said he regularly worked 12 hours a day and took weekend shifts so that he could earn more credits for his pension. Now, his monthly check is set to be reduced to $1,900, from the roughly $3,500 he was previously receiving. The lost income is about equal to his monthly mortgage payment, causing Finley to worry that he may have to put his three-bedroom home on the market. “This is the devastation that I knew was coming, but I just couldn’t wrap my mind around it,” Finley said after learning the news. “You play by all the rules … and then they pull the rug out from under you.” The fund’s proposal was first green-lighted by the Treasury Department late last year before being put up for a vote by members this month. The impact will vary based on the individual’s work status and age. About half of the participants are not going to see any cuts at all because of their age or a disability. Others will see minor reductions. But more than 300 participants will see their checks cut by between 30 and 60 percent. Some people who took advantage of an early retirement option are among those facing the steepest cuts. Some critics say the divide in outcomes may have ultimately pinned workers, who could have felt they were choosing between a smaller pension and no pension at all, against retirees who feel they have few options for making up the lost pay. More than half of the 1,938 people eligible to vote did not cast a vote. About 16 percent, or 300, voted against the cuts. Another 600 members voted in favor of the changes. “I’ve been sort of sitting here staring off in the distance,” said Larry Burruel, 68, who is expecting his pension check to be cut in half. “We’re going to have to make a lot of cuts,” said Burruel, who is worried he and his wife will struggle to afford their medical bills with the smaller paycheck. The leaders of the ironworkers fund said making cuts now could prevent the need for more dramatic reductions in the future. Without changes, the ironworkers fund was on pace to run out of cash by 2024. At that point, the plan would have had to rely on the federal insurance program meant to protect multiemployer plans. But that program is also facing steep shortfalls and is on track to run out of money by 2025. “The suspension plan, while reducing their pensions now, is a better alternative than letting the pension fund become insolvent,” the trustees of the fund said in a statement. The ironworkers make up only a small portion of the roughly 1 million workers and retirees in pension plans that are on track to exhaust funds within the next two decades, according to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which insures private pensions. The Central States Pension Fund, one of the largest multiemployer pension plans in the country, became the first fund to apply to cut benefits under the law with a proposal that would have affected nearly 300,000 current and retired truckers. But Treasury rejected that application in the spring, saying the changes would not be enough to save the financially struggling fund. Some pension advocates said they worry that the approval of the cuts in Cleveland could open the door for other financially struggling pension plans to follow suit. “Retirees … performed dangerous work counting on the promise of their pensions,” said Karen Ferguson, director of the Pension Rights Center. “It is simply wrong that after their years of backbreaking work, they have been left out in the cold.” Ferguson and other consumer advocates argue that rejecting the cuts would have given lawmakers more time to come up with another plan for shoring up pension funds. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who is critical of the cuts, called on Congress to find a long-term fix. “Too many retirees across Ohio face uncertainty over the benefits they’ve earned,” he said. “We need to work on a bipartisan solution to protect Ohio workers from the mistakes made by those managing their funds.”)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170127/news/170128917/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The attorney representing petitioners who want to merge Lisle, Warrenville and Woodridge with Naperville says the initiative is all about money. Annexing the smaller communities to Naperville would allow the larger city to use economies of scale to reduce the property tax burden on residents, Frank Avila said. The Chicago attorney said he still “is not authorized” to say who is behind the merger push. “This is about making life more affordable,” Avila said. But mayors of the four communities say talk of lowering taxes is “smoke and mirrors” and those behind the proposal have a political motive, especially because of the “clandestine and haphazard” way the idea has come to the fore. “People with serious issues bring it forward in a little more responsible manner, and this certainly was not done in a responsible manner,” Warrenville Mayor David Brummel said. “I just don’t think it’s all about taxes.”)

http://www.wjbdradio.com/politics/2017/01/27/trump-pushes-voter-fraud-claim-citing-fringe-blogger
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump cited a new study Thursday to back up his claim that millions of ballots were cast illegally in the 2016 election – this one from a widely discredited blogger who has thus far declined to provide any evidence. The president’s latest source: 56-year old Gregg Phillips of Austin, Texas, a man who has been roundly criticized by mainstream academics and political opponents as a conspiracy theorist. His critics note that Phillips has claimed the Obama Department of Homeland Security hacked the election. Asked by ABC News if he had evidence to support his claim that millions of people voted illegally, Phillips demurred, saying he “is building that case right now.” “I may be a whacko, I may be a nut, I don’t know, I don’t really care what they say about me,” he said. Trump thought enough of Phillips’s theory that he cited it on Twitter. “Gregg Phillips and crew say at least 3,000,000 votes were illegal. We must do better!” he tweeted on Friday morning. To Phillips, who has argued that a recent tax lien against him is the product of political persecution by the IRS, the presidential attention came as a shock. “That was a little unexpected,” Phillips said of the Trump tweet. “What are you going to say? I mean, I’m just a regular guy and all of a sudden the President tweets my name and my whole world lit up for a little while today.” . . . On Thursday, Trump made Phillips the newest expert to bolster his voter fraud claims.)

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/obama-gave-foreign-students-180000-u.s.-jobs-32b-in-lost-wages/article/2613146
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A pro-immigrant program was expanded under President Obama that paid U.S. firms $2.7 billion to hire 180,000 foreign “students,” jobs that likely otherwise would have gone to Americans, according to a new report. The so-called “Optional Practical Training” was supposedly set up for foreign students but actually included no training and put college graduates in the high-paying jobs for three years. The Center for Immigration Studies, which on Friday urged President Trump to stop the program, estimated that the jobs paid $60,000, suggesting a total of $11 billion in annual wages lost to American workers, over $32 billion over three years. In his Inaugural Address, Trump advocated an “America First” theme. The Center said the program, also used under former President George W. Bush, paid companies $10,000-$15,000 to hire the foreigner college grads for three years.)

— Senators accuse Trump of promoting “culture of fear” among federal employees  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government used their treatment of me to promote a “culture of fear.”  GAO employees saw that my Democrat superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  IRS employees saw that my Democrat superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  Post Office employees saw that my Democrat superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

— How the wealthy Obamas could become wealthier – Thomas Heath  (DIERSEN: Democrats demonize, denigrate, and condemn Republicans who are wealthy, but not Democrats who are wealthy.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/01/23/how-the-wealthy-obamas-could-become-wealthier/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Speaker? Professor? Author? Board member? Owner of a professional basketball team? Those are among the job prospects being bandied about for Barack Obama’s time post-presidency. All ex-presidents receive an annual pension of $205,700 annually, which is pegged to inflation. And Obama’s kicked in on Jan. 20. They also receive federal money for offices and administrative help. Beyond that, they are on their own. Obama is a relatively young man of 55, so the ex-president — who is kicking back for a few days near Palm Springs in Rancho Mirage, Calif. — could spend decades making a living from several income streams. One safe bet is public speaking, which has enriched most former presidents. An ex-president can command $250,000 or more for a speech. “We don’t know what Obama is going to do, but I’m comfortable saying he isn’t going to go out and grab as many high-priced speeches as he can get,” said James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University. “He’s going to lean toward book writing, writing his memoirs. He’s an intellectual who has had good success with two books and probably will have good success with future books.” In just 2009, Obama earned $5.1 million from those two books, “The Audacity of Hope,” and “Dreams From My Father.” The New York Times estimated that Obama and his wife, Michelle, could earn anywhere from $20 million to $45 million from future book contracts. And Obama said in his farewell news conference that he would like to write after leaving office. It worked for Ulysses S. Grant. The former president secured his family’s financial future when the Civil War hero finished his memoirs while suffering from terminal throat cancer. The Obamas are already wealthy. One report a year ago pegged the president’s net worth at $12.2 million. That and his pension should keep him comfortable as he rents a home in Washington’s upscale Kalorama neighborhood for $22,000 a month. Obama, an avid golfer, is also reportedly noodling around for a home in Rancho Mirage, where golf is akin to a religion. Obama could go back to teaching. He was a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years before he was elected to the U.S. Senate. The Harvard Law School graduate could return to Chicago, where the Obamas own a $1.5 million home, or teach in Washington, or at Columbia University in New York, where he studied as an undergraduate.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— An idea for $60 billion per year in federal savings – Bob Fitzhenry  (DIERSEN: Does Fitzhenry approve or disapprove of the federal government’s wasting my career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old?  Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH the federal government’s wasting my career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/01/an_idea_60_billion_per_year_in_federal_savings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I dusted off an old idea of mine because of President Trump’s freeze on federal hiring, his tasking to create an attrition plan, and a statistic I read yesterday in a Washington Post article by Juliet Eilperin.  Eilperin reported that in the federal workforce, “there are nearly three times as many employees over age 60 as under age 30.”  Yikes.  That’s no way to run a railroad. The idea I’d roughed out gave a way to cut back the federal workforce by tempting people to retire or move on earlier than they would otherwise.  Depending on whom I’d run the idea past, I’d hear that it’s fantasy, fantastic, or the best sense of fantastical. The cliché to address what I’d like to see happen is, “You’ve got to spend money to make money.”  What if we spent a bunch of money offering departure incentives high enough to entice 750,000 feds to resign or retire?  Then, how about filling one third of the vacated positions with veterans, graduates, and the un- and underemployed?  We’d be spending billions to save billions more every year, and to get 250,000 people into careers they and the country need them to have.)

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-priebus-idUSKBN1560RM
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House vowed on Sunday to fight the news media “tooth and nail” over what it sees as unfair attacks, with a top adviser saying the Trump administration had presented “alternative facts” to counter low inauguration crowd estimates. On his first full day as president, Trump said he had a “running war” with the media and accused journalists of underestimating the number of people who turned out Friday for his swearing-in. White House officials made clear no truce was on the horizon on Sunday in television interviews that set a much harsher tone in the traditionally adversarial relationship between the White House and the press corps.)

http://www.fedsmith.com/2017/01/23/how-much-of-a-pension-will-obama-and-biden-get-after-leaving-office/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The pensions of former Vice Presidents are calculated differently. Vice Presidents do not receive an automatic pension as former Presidents do. Instead, Vice Presidents are granted pensions based on their service in the U. S. House of Representatives or Senate. Vice Presidents must serve at least two years to receive a pension. Joe Biden’s pension is based on his role as President of the Senate. Assuming he was covered under the Civil Service Retirement System for the past 43 years, his pension could amount to approximately $248,670 per year. According to their 2015 tax returns, the Obamas reported an adjusted gross income of $436,065 and paid $81,472 in total tax. The Bidens reported adjusted gross income of $392,233 and paid $91,546 in total federal taxes.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Where Americans Still Stand Together  A year of photographs from parades on the nation’s streets, where communities become visible to themselves. – GEORGE GEORGIOU  (DIERSEN: What do you know about Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades? I have attended and/or participated in them since 1978 and I have raised money from Republicans each and every year for them since 2006.  I should write a book about the Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois a) who work against the parades and against patriotism, b) who work against Republican participation in the parades, and/or c) who work against my efforts to raise money from Republicans to support the parades. If their treatment of me at the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce January 19, 2017 State of the City Address is any indication, now that Trump is our President, they are dramatically increasing their efforts a) to harm the parade and patriotism, b) to discourage/stop Republican participation in the parade, and c) to discourage/stop Republicans from donating for the parade.  They are fully aware that I will raise $2,500 for the parade this year from Republicans, even if that means that I donate all of that $2,500.)

NEW YORK POST
— How these unemployed people survive in America – John Crudele  (DIERSEN: Are you unemployed?  If so, how do you get by? As a 68-year-old unemployed retired federal employee, I have received a dramatically reduced Civil Service Retirement System pension (currently $50,856 a year) since 1997.  In addition, I have received dramatically reduced Social Security (currently $2,028 a year) since 2010.)
http://nypost.com/2017/01/22/how-these-unemployed-people-survive-in-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dear John: In a nutshell, I am getting by because I still have a good credit score (690, I believe). I am a 66-year-old retired civilian federal employee. I was able to retire when I was age 55 after 32 years of service and receive my full pension (currently about $3,600 net monthly). I retired to “pursue other interests,” as the cliche goes.)

THE BEAST
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps ask “Where Were All The Women’s March Protesters in November?” and say “It was huge. It was emotional. But it’s hard not to wonder what all these people were doing during the election, and what they will do after the protest has ended.”  What will the anti-Trump women in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois do to get rid of Trump and to get rid of Trumps’s supporters?
