CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— OUTSTANDING: Legal pot opponents reject Pritzker’s social equity arguments – Jessica Villagomez
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-illinois-recreational-marijuana-protest-20190506-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois on Monday rejected Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s argument that his proposal would promote social equity by providing potential benefits to communities that have been disproportionately affected by enforcement of lower-level drug crimes. “Minorities have said to me we don’t want this stuff in our neighborhood,” state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, said at a news conference outside the Thompson Center in the Loop. “There’s other ways to generate revenue, not on the backs of our children and young adults.”)

— DCCC Chair Rep. Cheri Bustos defends backing incumbents as Rep. Dan Lipinski challenger Marie Newman gains major endorsements – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Concerning me, the following were not incumbent-friendly organizations: TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce in 2011, Milton Township Republican Central Committee in 2010 and 2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition in 2007, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter in 2004, and GAO in 1997.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-cheri-bustos-democrat-incumbents-lipinski-newman-20190506-story.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Bustos has faced criticism from more progressive elements of the party for opposition to primary challenges and for a DCCC policy that also prohibits political advisers, consultants or vendors from doing work with the organization if they work against incumbents. “I don’t want to spend one ounce of any resource on keeping Democrats in the seats that they already have. I want to make sure that we have resources to pick up seats,” said Bustos, who called the DCCC “an incumbent-friendly organization.”)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2019/05/06/warren-buffett-quotes-inspiration/#37bd50284004

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— No Partner, No Kids, No Problem (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty. They used/use against me the fact that I did not get married until was 29, that my wife has always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents.) 
https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/05/no-partner-no-kids-no-problem
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you aren’t married and don’t have kids, people at work might assume a lot of things: that you can stay late at the office, that you can’t possibly understand their stories about parenthood, that you just haven’t found the right partner (ugh). But those assumptions are often false. Single childless women have busy lives, close relationships with children like nieces or nephews — and many don’t want coupledom or motherhood. We talk to two women who’ve been researching and writing about being a single childless professional. The writer Shani Silver shares her experience with the career pros and cons, and then Tracy Dumas, a professor at Ohio State University, gives research-backed advice for responding to bias and unrealistic expectations.)

Will that result in the formation of a new political party that represents older White men who are Protestant and/or German American, that is, a political party that does not discriminate against those who are older, White, male, Protestant, or German-American?)

FORBES
— How Living Longer Impacts Your Retirement – Gregory Ostrowski (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2019/05/01/how-living-longer-impacts-your-retirement/#160ea2d560be
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Especially for those on fixed incomes, such as retirees, inflation can negatively impact your standard of living in retirement by diminishing the purchasing power of your income. One way to prepare for such a scenario that can also help you overcome the risk of outliving your savings is to build a buffer into your retirement income projections. For instance, if you believe that a retirement income of $6,000 per month will be enough to pay your expenses, plan to save enough to generate $7,000 a month. Or if you think $7,000 per month will be enough, aim for $8,000, etc.)

https://www.fool.com/retirement/2019/05/02/the-average-social-security-recipient-today-only-g.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as you need a roof over your head, a means of transportation, food, clothing, and healthcare during your working years, so too do you need all of these things in retirement. The same holds true for things like utilities, cable, communications (think your cellphone and internet service), and even leisure. Therefore, it’s silly to think that you’ll get by on 40% of your former earnings while maintaining a standard of living that’s similar to what you’re used to today. And even if you are willing to cut back on some expenses, to live on Social Security alone would likely require some drastic changes — changes you likely won’t be happy with.)

http://www.brinkwire.com/science/microsoft-employees-question-if-diversity-is-important/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Microsoft employees have been questioning whether diversity is important and slammed the tech giant for ‘discriminatory hiring’ against Asians and white men. The employees have been debating the company’s pro-diversity push on an internal online message board meant for communicating with Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella. Two posts that have been heavily argued were written by a female Microsoft program manager, Quartz reports. One of those posts questioned Microsoft’s push to hire more women and minorities, arguing that it discriminates against white and Asian men. It also criticizes the monetary incentives senior leadership are awarded if they hire female or minority employees. ‘Does Microsoft have any plans to end the current policy that financially incentivizes discriminatory hiring practices? To be clear, I am referring to the fact that senior leadership is awarded more money if they discriminate against Asians and white men,’ one post reads. ‘I have an ever-increasing file of white male Microsoft employees who have faced outright and overt discrimination because they had the misfortune of being born both white and male. This is unacceptable,’ she wrote in a follow up post on the thread.)

— Income can peak before you’re ready (and what that means for retirement) – LIZ WESTON (DIERSEN: If you are retired, when did your income peak? My income peaked in 1997 when I was 49 years old at $72,460/year, or at $127,654/year in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190505/income-can-peak-before-youre-ready-and-what-that-means-for-retirement
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most retirement calculators are optimistic to a fault. They assume our incomes will rise throughout our working lives, or at least stay roughly the same. In reality, our incomes are likely to peak years — and sometimes decades — before we retire. Consider this: People’s biggest wage increases tend to happen in their 20s and 30s, with more modest increases in midlife followed by declines, according to a 2016 analysis of Social Security earnings records underwritten by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Most people’s incomes peak by age 45, the researchers found, although the top 20% of earners peaked in their 50s. More than half of those who enter their 50s with a stable job are laid off or otherwise forced out the door, and the vast majority don’t recover financially, according to analysis by ProPublica and the Urban Institute. These may be grim statistics, but if you’re tempted to put off saving for retirement, take heed. “When you’re 40 and things are going well, you think, ‘OK, I can see when things are going to get better and that’s when I can save for retirement,'” says Gary Burtless, an economist with the Brookings Institution who studies earnings patterns. “And those days just don’t come.” THE BIGGEST GAINS COME EARLY What’s true on average for a group of people may not be true for an individual, of course. Understanding these general patterns, though, could help people make better decisions about spending, saving and when to retire. Generally, the more education people have, the more money they make over their lifetime and the later their earnings peak, Burtless says. “For somebody with a position like professor at a university, it might be when they’re in the second half of their 50s, as opposed to the second half of their 30s, which it might be for your brother-in-law who failed to complete high school,” Burtless says. But the 50s tends to be a dangerous decade for workers, according to ProPublica, an independent nonprofit newsroom, and the Urban Institute, a nonprofit think tank that researches social and economic issues. The researchers found 56% of full-time, full-year workers ages 51 to 54 suffered an involuntary job loss after age 50 that had a substantial economic impact, either by reducing their earnings at least 50% or resulting in six months or more of unemployment. The median household income of these workers dropped 42%, and only one in 10 ever earned as much after they left their jobs as before. An additional 9% left their jobs involuntarily for personal reasons such as health. The analysis was based on data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, which tracks 20,000 people in the U.S. SAVE EARLY AND AVOID LIFESTYLE CREEP Job disruptions and declining earnings help explain why so many people in their 60s have so little saved, Burtless says.)

— May 16 event aims to explain real estate tax bills – Chris Kaergard (DIERSEN: Realistically, do you believe that could you sell your home for what your assessor says it is worth? I do not.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The Republican Party exists to promote conservative principles; the Democrat Party exists to promote liberal principles; the Libertarian Party exists to promote libertarian principles; and the Green Party exists to promote green principles. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform (https://illinois.gop/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2016PlatformoftheIllinoisRepublicanParty.pdf) is conservative. The Republican Party platform (https://gop.com/platform/) is conservative. I served on the 2008 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. Disgustingly, outrageously, and unacceptably, the Republican Party, IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee let people hold leadership positions a) who reject many planks in the aforesaid platforms and b) focus on destroying those like me who support the aforesaid platforms. Most commonly, these Democrat Party plants, Libertarian Party plants, Green Party plants, and RINOs reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. From what I see, they are working very hard to fill the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee with members who will water down if not strike the aforesaid planks. I have asked my representative on the IRP State Central Committee to appoint me to the 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee. – Dave Diersen

AMERICAN THINKER
— Ignorance, Fear, and LGBTQ – Lloyd Marcus
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/ignorance_fear_and_lgbtq.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mary and I met with several black relatives for dinner at a restaurant in Baltimore. The jovial conversation drifted to politics. I was stunned that they know nothing about several important political issues. Because they only watch mainstream media, my relatives are either misinformed or uninformed. For example,, my relatives have never heard of Sharia Law. When I explained the tyranny of Sharia and how leftists are promoting it in America, my relatives were shocked. Overwhelmed, a relative said, “I’ve heard enough. Can we change the subject?” The second thing that disturbed me was my relatives’ intense fear of pushing back against LGBTQ indoctrination that is impacting their lives. As I said, these are not political people. And yet, they know they had better not get caught opposing LGBTQ activists forcefully infiltrating every aspect of our lives; from public education to entertainment to Sunday morning worship.)

https://www.commdiginews.com/politics-2/a-cautionary-tale-unfettered-illegal-immigration-creates-a-failing-nation-117991/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We are a nation of immigrants” is a favorite aphorism of vote-seeking politicians. The saying reaches back to the 1870s. However, it is not true. So who cares? The pretense that we are all immigrants is babble. Words thrown about by the politicians to curry favor with some minority du jour. It is more “give me your vote,” and I will pay you with social safety nets.” Most politicians aren’t interested in the nonsensical twaddle about “give me your tired and your poor” as reflected on the Statue of Liberty. Maybe an update to the original should be “Welcome to New York, home of AOC and DeBlasio. If you think it was bad where you were, with until you start paying for NY Liberal policies.” This meaning that the taxpayer will provide the dollars necessary to provide immigrants – legal and illegal – with food, housing, medical care – those things bought and paid for by American taxes. Taxes squeezed from the citizens who may or may not want an influx of “the tired, huddled masses” seeking economic opportunity in the US.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— In College Admissions Scandal, Family Paid $6.5 Million to Get Their Daughter Into Stanford Family from China met college counselor William ‘Rick’ Singer through a Morgan Stanley employee – Melissa Korn and Jennifer Levitz (DIERSEN: How much money did your parents have when you were young? If they had more money, how would that have impacted you? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14 and worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to help pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21.)

Ask for a goal-setting session with your boss each year so you’re clear what you should be focusing on.)

But that did not stop my Democrat superiors from taking many adverse actions against me a) because I have always been a Republican, b) because I opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, c) because I refused to help them get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, and d) because in 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

It is called Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. The federal government’s top priority is to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females.)

WTTW
— Age and the American Presidency: How Old is ‘Too Old’? – Erica Gunderson (DIERSEN: To defend your health, and especially to defend your cognitive abilities, what would you stress? I would stress the fact that I have put together and sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning since 2004 (4,860+ days) and each and every evening too since 2015 (1,210+ days).)
https://news.wttw.com/2019/04/29/age-and-american-presidency-how-old-too-old
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is there such a thing as being too old to be president? Americans first questioned whether a candidate was too old for the world’s highest office in 1840, with the candidacy of 67-year-old William Henry Harrison. He was 68 when he was inaugurated the nation’s ninth president. Barely a month later, a sudden bout of pneumonia ended his term – and his life. It was 140 years before America elected an older man to the presidency – Ronald Reagan, who was inaugurated at 69 and was 77 when he left office. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a few years later, but some believe he was showing signs of the disease during his second term as president. And in 2016, Donald Trump was 70 when he took the oath of office, making him the oldest president ever inaugurated. Among the 21 Democratic candidates hoping to challenge Trump in the 2020 election are more in their 60s and 70s than ever before. Two full generations separate the youngest presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg (37), and the oldest, Bernie Sanders (77) and Joe Biden (76). Dr. John Holton, director of the Center for Gerontology at Concordia University, says that rather than asking if a candidate is too old for office, “a better question would be to ask what the characteristics of a bad president are. Would the answer have anything to do with the person’s age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, or experience? Are we confusing our assumptions about maturity with age?” Critics of older candidates say that electing a president in their 60s or 70s can be risky. The nation’s highest office is a physically demanding job that challenges even the fittest person – and there’s no good time for a health crisis when you’re in the Oval Office. Signs of age-related cognitive decline might not become apparent until it’s too late. Holton notes, “In the fishbowl life of a U.S. president, it would be highly unlikely that [cognitive impairment] would go unnoticed or unaddressed by staff and cabinet members.” There is also the consideration of life span. While life spans are longer than they were when the country was young, simple statistics indicate that electing a candidate in their 70s greatly increases the odds they’ll die while in office, but again, Holton points out that each candidate must be judged individually. “No more than 25% of longevity is determined by our genes, which means that 75% is determined by our choices and lifestyle behaviors,” he said. Holton also points out that at the moment, two Supreme Court justices are performing their own demanding jobs into their 80s (to wit: 86-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s famously rigorous exercise regimen). Many voters might consider advanced age a sign of experience and wisdom – qualities that presumably anyone would consider positive qualifications for office.)

https://www.oflaherty-law.com/learn-about-law/defamation-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In this article, we will explain defamation law in Illinois. In order to state a cause of action for defamation in Illinois, the plaintiff must allege the following elements: ‍The defendant made a false statement about the plaintiff; ‍Made with actual malice or negligence; ‍That was published to a third party; ‍That damaged the plaintiff. ‍There are two types of defamation in Illinois, defamation per se and defamation per quod. Defamation per se consists of certain types of statements that the law considers to be automatically damaging and for which damages need not be proven. A statement that does not qualify as defamation per se is classified as defamation per quod. In defamation per quod cases, the plaintiff must prove actual monetary damages. The following types of statements qualify as defamation per se: statements accusing the plaintiff of a crime; statements asserting that the plaintiff has a “loathsome” communicable disease; statements asserting that the plaintiff is unable to perform in his or her employment or lacks integrity in his or her employment; statements that harm the plaintiff in his or her profession; and ‍statements accusing the plaintiff of adultery or fornication. ‍The statute of limitations for defamation actions is 1 year. ‍In Illinois there is no distinction between libel (written defamation) and slander (oral defamation). Many types of statements are privileged, meaning that the speaker will not be held accountable for defamation even if the elements of defamation would otherwise have been met. Privilege usually depends on the context in which the statement is made, such as statements made in a court of law.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Education officials, lawmakers look at alternatives to teacher testing – Cassie Buchman (DIERSEN: What tests have you passed? I passed a) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, b) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in business from Loyola in 1976, f) all the tests necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, g) the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and h) the Post Office employment examination in 1966.)
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190427/education-officials-lawmakers-look-at-alternatives-to-teacher-testing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the teacher shortage in Illinois has grown to what some say are “crisis” levels, education officials and lawmakers are looking to change the way potential teachers are assessed. One reason for the shortage cited by the education community is the glut of tests required to get a teaching license in Illinois — along with the fact students aren’t passing them at the level they used to. To get a teaching license in Illinois, students need to pass a basic skills test, another test called the edTPA and a content-area test. Of those who took the basic skills test, called the Test of Academic Proficiency, in the first three months of this year, 25 percent passed, according to data on the Illinois State Board of Education’s website. ISBE is putting the TAP on hold starting June 30 as it looks at different ways to assess basic skills. State Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur, is the sponsor of House Bill 423, which would eliminate the test until 2025. Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, introduced a bill, Senate Bill 1952, that would get rid of the basic skills test permanently. Both bills were approved in one chamber earlier this month and await consideration in the other chamber. The Illinois State Board of Education has taken a neutral position on the bills, a lobbyist for the agency said during a recent meeting. As a teacher, Scherer saw many examples of would-be teachers held back by the basic skills test. She linked the difficulties to students’ test anxiety and the poorly written test. The questions, Scherer said, are abstract to the point where students can’t figure out what the questions are asking. There also is an argument the tests are discriminatory toward people of color. Scherer says the tests don’t take life experiences or cultural differences into account. During the first quarter of the year, 12 percent of African-American students and 14 percent of Hispanic students passed the basic skills test.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Real Leverage on Illegal Immigration – Mike Razar
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/real_leverage_on_illegal_immigration_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The main reason it is so difficult to deal with illegal immigration is that there is an unwritten but not secret alliance between RINOs who want cheap labor and leftists who want new voters. It is not clear whether either side of that bargain really gets what it wants, but it endures. Meanwhile, conservatives want a secure border and the rule of law. Keeping criminals and drugs out is a high priority and only a wall or other barriers will do, The RINOs and leftists are willing to tolerate the criminals and drugs in return for their other goals. What do conservatives want? Of course, no list will be agreed to by all but here are the main desired reforms: Build a border wall or other barriers. Mandate E-verify. End chain migration. End the visa lottery. End “catch and release”. Tighten rules for asylum seekers and only admit them after they prove their case. End sanctuary cities, states, or other jurisdictions. Add citizenship question to 2020 census. Redistrict based on only U.S. citizens. Liberals want none of the above; they want open borders.)

— GOP plots comeback in Orange County – REID WILSON (DIERSEN: What are the following doing to help elect Republicans in November 2020: a) Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) your Republican county party organization, and c) your Republican township/ward party organization? Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in the aforesaid organizations want the aforesaid organizations to dump the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/440329-gop-plots-comeback-in-orange-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1990, almost two-thirds of Orange County residents were non-Hispanic whites. Today, the population is 40 percent non-Hispanic white, about a third are Hispanic, and 18 percent are of Asian heritage. As recently as 2010, Republicans enjoyed a registration advantage of almost 200,000 voters; today, the number of Republican voters outnumber Democrats by fewer than 20,000, and another 400,000 voters decline to choose a party. The changing electorate gave Democrats a chance to capitalize on an unpopular president, even as Republicans showed up to defend their seats. Republican turnout actually increased across Orange County by more than 100,000 votes between the 2014 and 2018 midterm elections — but Democratic turnout surged by nearly 200,000 votes, swamping the GOP, according to the Democratic data firm TargetSmart.)

They certainly made me pay the price. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, 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 a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
