— NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has wide-ranging powers to fine or suspend New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft – AP (DIERSEN: Chairmen of organizations have wide-ranging powers to punish the members of their organizations. I should write a book about how the chairmen of organizations that I have been a member of have punished me. They do not want me to use GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails a) to promote 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 Illinois Republican Party platform and in the Republican Party platform or b) to promote the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. They punish me because they cannot manipulate me or dominate me. They punish me to curry favor with those who I have sued and with those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)

— No one wants to hear ‘You’re fired.’ Is there a better way to dismiss a worrisome worker? – Lauren Zumbach (DIERSEN: To be forced to take early retirement is to be fired. To get me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO supervisor made lots of nasty vicious threats, but she did stress that if I did retire, a) I would have an inflation-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension for life (that pension is currently $53,316/year) and b) my wife and I would have federally-subsidized health insurance for life (that subsidy is currently $18,000/yr.)

— Income inequality is rising so fast that economic data can’t keep up – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/national/ct-biz-income-inequality-economics-20190221-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nevertheless, the available data paints a clear picture of broadening disparities between top earners and everyone else. Adjusted for inflation, wages for the top 5 percent of earners rose from $50.46 an hour in 2000 to $63.10 in 2018, an increase of 25 percent. The median worker’s hourly wage, meanwhile, rose by 7 percent over that period, to $18.80. The divide was particularly stark among men: The wages of the top 5 percent of male workers rose by 42 percent from 2000 to 2018, while those of the median male worker rose by 0.8 percent. One way to capture that dispersion is to look at the ratio between wages at the top and wages at the middle. In 2000, for instance, the top 5 percent of workers earned 2.87 times as much, per hour, as the typical, or median, worker. By 2018, that ratio had increase to 3.36. Among men only, the ratio between the top 5 percent and the median increased from 2.83 to 3.98. However, there was little change in wage variation at the bottom of the distribution: The median worker earned roughly twice as much as the bottom 10 percent of workers in 2000 and 2018, among all workers and among men only.)

Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

— Pritzker makes DC debut as governor; joins with Cuomo to protest Trump tax hit – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/pritzker-cuomo-state-local-taxes-deduction-trump-national-governors-association/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At issue is what is nicknamed the “SALT” (state and local taxes) provision in the Trump tax bill Republicans pushed through Congress in 2017 that placed a $10,000 cap on federal income taxes deductions for state and local taxes. In states like Illinois and New York, with higher state and property taxes, the SALT cap could outweigh other breaks in the tax bill. Cuomo organized the “Governors Coalition for Tax Fairness,” with five Democratic governors on Friday kicking off a lobbying drive to lift the SALT cap. The new Democratic run House has the votes to restore or revise the SALT cap; the GOP controlled Senate is likely to resist, because the added revenues were needed to finance what Cuomo and other Democrats call a “tax cut for the rich.” “The states that have state and local taxes tend to be Democratic states. I’m sure that was a coincidence,” Cuomo said with muted sarcasm. He added the “politically motivated” SALT cap “was a declaration of civil war between Democratic states and Republican states.” Pritzker said the SALT cap could impact some two million Illinoisans “in a very negative way.” Almost every Illinois Democrat in Congress is protesting the loss of a full SALT deduction on federal income taxes.)

THE HILL
— Firing bad federal government workers should not be difficult – TOM SCHATZ (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was a bad federal government worker. They stress that my superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took other adverse actions against me before that. They reject my argument that my superiors wasted my career and got rid of me a) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They stress that my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/431187-firing-bad-federal-government-workers-should-not-be-difficult
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A significant hurdle to getting rid of bad federal employees is the Merit Systems Protection Board. The agency was originally created to ensure the effectiveness of human capital in the federal government, but it has since metastasized into an institutional nightmare that makes it almost impossible to fire any worker for any reason. Through the early 1880s, the federal civil service operated under a spoils system by which the winning political party gave civil service jobs to its supporters. This system caused large numbers of government employees to be replaced every time there was an administration change, and it led to an insecure federal workforce. It routinely drove thousands of job seekers to Washington who believed they were owed a job based on their political support of the president. The spoils system was abolished after the assassination of James Garfield by a disgruntled federal job seeker. Reforms were enacted over the years to establish principles for handling federal employees and adjudicating appeals of removal. The Merit Systems Protection Board was created in 1978 as an independent authority to manage federal employee appeals of furlough, suspension, retirement, and removal decisions. It can develop its own legal procedures, call witnesses, issue subpoenas, and enforce the compliance of federal agencies with its internal decisions. Of the two million federal employees within the jurisdiction of the Merit Systems Protection Board, around 200,000 leave the government each year, but only about 10,000 are removed for performance or misconduct reasons. The rest retire, resign, or finish a temporary appointment.)

— Oberweis eyeing 14th Congressional run against Underwood – James Fuller
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190219/oberweis-eyeing-14th-congressional-run-against-underwood
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2004, a U.S. Senate campaign commercial featuring dairy magnate Jim Oberweis flying over Soldier Field with a warning that, “Illegal aliens are coming here to take American workers’ jobs,” was a doomed introduction to the national political stage. Fifteen years later, a modified version of that message may help propel him into Congress. In an interview, Oberweis confirmed reports he’ll seek the 14th Congressional District seat represented by newly-elected Democrat Lauren Underwood in the next cycle. And he said he’s learned a lot about politics and cooperating across the aisle since 2004. Much of that education stems from his service as an Illinois state senator from Sugar Grove since 2013. He pointed to his support for legalizing medical marijuana and successfully raising some speed limits to 70 mph as examples of where he’s listened to both sides of an issue. Oberweis also sponsored legislation to raise the state’s minimum wage. His bill would have raised it gradually to $10 per hour, in what he believes was a more realistic increase. He sees Illinois’ new plan to gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 as a threat to the number of available jobs and the motivation for upward mobility. “A $15 minimum wage is going to create problems for people wanting to enter the workforce,” Oberweis said. “Minimum wage jobs are designed to teach people how to work and how to secure employment. They are not meant to be the end of the line, feed-my-family-of-four kind of job.” . . . “I still feel immigration is a significant problem with a potentially significant cost,” Oberweis said. “On the other hand, those kids who were brought here by their parents and only know this country? We don’t blame kids for the mistakes of their parent. I’m much more inclined to talk about a path to citizenship for those kids than their parents who broke laws.” Oberweis said he also doesn’t believe in family separation. So the compromise is a nonimmigrant visa for those parents. That visa would allow them to remain in the country but not become citizens or be eligible for government benefits.)

IN THESE TIMES
— We’ve Been Fighting for $15 For 7 Years. Today I’m Celebrating a Historic Victory. – JEFF SCHUHRKE (DIERSEN: Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School. If S.S. Kresges had to pay me $15/hour in today’s dollars back then, it probably would have illegally hired an illegal instead of me. If you had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars when you were young, what would you have done with that money? I did not start earning $15/hour in today’s dollars until I was 18 in September of 1966. I earned far less than $15/hour in today’s dollars when I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; and cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. If had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars 1962-1966, I probably would have bought a new loaded 1966 Pontiac GTO in 1966 instead of the new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I bought. What job requirements did you have to meet before you first earned $15/hour in today’s dollars? Job requirements that I had to meet in 1966 included: be a United States citizen, be 18 years old, have a high school diploma, pass an employment test, pass a physical examination, have a driver’s license, pass a truck driving test, pass a background investigation, and have a car to use to make deliveries with.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— If you help fill a void, what void do you help fill? Since 2000, I have increasingly helped fill a tremendous communications void in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. The individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that dominate Republican politics in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton do not want anyone to promote 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 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and in the Republican Party platform. I help fill the aforesaid tremendous communications void with GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Those who do not want me to do that work against me. If you are not going to defend and advance the IRP platform and the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of elected or appointed government or political office as a Republican in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, or Wheaton. – Dave Diersen

Then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job officer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I had to have a job. My application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother was pending.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— After Aurora, Illinois has to tighten gun law enforcement – Editorial (DIERSEN: How many gun owners with revoked FOIDs are there in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-aurora-shooting-illinois-gun-laws-foid-control-rights-20190217-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: A felony conviction is a disqualifier. Martin wasn’t flagged until after his purchase, when he sought a concealed carry license. It appears that during the background check process, which included fingerprinting, his criminal record popped up. What happened next? Frustratingly, not enough. Martin’s FOID was revoked, but he kept his firearm — later using it to cause a bloodbath in Aurora. There are gun laws on the books designed to keep weapons away from dangerous people. Then there is enforcement. In this instance, there was a deadly lapse. Martin should never have received a FOID. Once that error was discovered, Illinois State Police apparently would have notified Martin by letter that he was not legally eligible to own a gun. Obviously, he either never got notification or ignored it. And no one took his gun away.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Weed consumers no longer ‘stoner that lives in his mom’s basement’: CEO – Alexis Keenan Stereotypical stoners were nearly nowhere to be found this week at the National Cannabis Industry Association’s third annual “CannaVest” and Seed to Sale conference in Boston, Massachusetts. In high supply were bankers, lawyers, executives, investment firms, analysts, consultants, farmers, researchers, chemists, computer scientists, builders, and manufacturers trading industry know-how in hopes of successfully navigating the nascent cannabis market expected to reach nearly $17 billion globally this year, and balloon to $32 billion by 2022. The players there want front-row seats, and even seats at the tables, where state and federal cannabis regulations certain to impact their bottom line are hammered out. Cresco Labs (CL.CN) CEO Charlie Bachtell, whose Chicago-based cannabis company is a dominant player in Illinois’s medical market, has joined a transition team for the state’s newly elected governor, J.B. Pritzker. Illinois is one of several states, including New York, New Jersey, and Florida, that have been aggressively considering recreational use legislation, in addition to their medical use programs. “Illinois is maturing from being a medically focused program to an adoption of an adult use law,” Bachtell told Yahoo Finance. ‘I think it’s a large market’ Cresco’s cultivation, processing, and consumer packaged goods operations span eight states. The company is positioned to expand within the medical market, as well as into targeted recreational markets yet to be realized. Bachtell and Cresco are participating in a pilot program to widen medical marijuana access for Illinois patients seeking alternatives to opioid use. Current state law prohibits marijuana to treat general pain, making it inaccessible for some patients using prescription opioids. “We worked with the administration, the prior administration, over the last 24 months to really create a new law, utilizing data that was coming out of a lot of existing markets, showing this correlation between greater access to cannabis and reduced opioid use,” Bachtell said. “I think it’s a large market, but more importantly an important market.” According to BDS Analytics CEO Roy Bingham, U.S. medical marijuana sales are projected to increase from $4.5 billion in 2018 to $7.4 billion in 2021, though recreational use sales are expected to fuel the majority of market growth. Bingham said during an NCIA conference panel presentation Tuesday that U.S. recreational sales of $6 billion in 2018 are projected to reach $11 billion in 2021. ‘A very broad and diverse community’ Cultivators, manufacturers, bankers and retailers are not the only profiles getting an overhaul within the cannabis industry. It’s consumers, as well. “It’s not the stoner that lives in his mom’s basement,” Bingham said, noting the average age of cannabis consumers is now 40. “And there is no one cannabis consumer. It’s a very broad and very diverse community.” States that have legalized recreational cannabis are taking notice of the changing demographics and interest from investors, yet so far have insufficient data to push federal regulators to a national legalization vote. Steven Hoffman, chairman of Massachusetts’s Cannabis Control Commission, said Massachusetts is both learning from states that legalized before, as well as passing along information about its own framework to states like New York and New Jersey. The Commission is responsible for ensuring that operators comply with state regulations. “There aren’t a lot of facts,” Hoffman told Yahoo Finance. “Because of federal prohibition … you can’t do research.” And without research showing safety and efficacy of cannabis substances, federal regulators are less likely to act. To combat the problem, Hoffman said Massachusetts became the first state to offer research-specific cannabis licenses. The state is also providing funding for social and health impact studies. “There aren’t a lot of facts,” Hoffman told Yahoo Finance. “Because of federal prohibition … you can’t do research.” And without research showing safety and efficacy of cannabis substances, federal regulators are less likely to act.

They fail/refuse to defend/advance the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and/or other planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform and the Republican Party platform.

The biggest indicator of that percentage is the percentage of their students that are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: You may recall that President Trump held a border wall rally in El Paso on Monday and that his eldest child, Donald Trump Jr., made a speech that roused the crowd. The president’s son drew cheers when he urged young conservatives to “bring it to your schools” (though he didn’t say exactly what “it” was) because “you don’t have to be indoctrinated by these loser teachers that are trying to sell you on socialism from birth.”)

— Civic Federation says Illinois should tax retirement income and cap spending, but Pritzker unlikely to go along – Dan Petrella (DIERSEN: A major reason why more taxpayers have not left Illinois is that Illinois has not taxed their retirement income. Overwhelmingly, those who have more retirement income, say more than $50,000/year, own their homes and pay big real estate taxes.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-illinois-budget-civic-federation-20190212-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The call to tax retirement income echoes a similar proposal last week from the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago, which is made up of the city’s business elite. The Civic Federation has been pushing the idea for several years, though its recommendation hasn’t gained traction in Springfield. The watchdog group’s report notes that Illinois is one of only three states that have an income tax but don’t tax any retirement income. All of Illinois’ neighbor states tax retirement income in some form. Civic Federation President Laurence Msall called the state’s policy “an outdated and expensive exemption” that shifts the tax burden from wealthy retirees to working people. By taxing all retirement income that is subject to the federal income tax, Illinois could bring in $2.5 billion during the budget year that begins July 1, according to the report. Last week, the Pritzker administration projected a $3.2 billion budget deficit for the next fiscal year in a report that set the stage for a low-expectations budget plan next week.)

Because of my performance on that assignment, IRS promoted me to GS-12 (currently $81,071/year.)

In 1978, when I was 29 years old, they were BEYOND FURIOUS when Money Magazine reported a) that IRS was paying me $89,178/year in today’s dollars, b) that I owned a one-bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building in downtown Chicago, c) that I was renting out a town home in University Park, d) that I owned a 1972 Corvette, e) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) that I was taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul, and g) that I had gone on vacations to Jamaica, Mexico, Hawaii, the Bahamas.)

— Why Wisconsin’s Marsha Howard, a Chicago native who played at Crete-Monee High School, sits alone while her teammates stand for the national anthem – Shannon Ryan
https://pilotonline.com/sports/college/elsewhere/basketball/article_d19b0c5a-0a47-5952-aa0f-8423c53351be.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Howard also played flute in the band and was passionate about cheerleading. On the basketball court, she was ferocious. She was a leader, a three-star recruit ranked No. 10 in the state. Off the court, she encouraged teammates with complicated home lives to stick with basketball. “She was always a voice of reason,” Crete-Monee coach Christina Cobbins said. “We always knew she was special. She realized she was a leader.” After seeing Kaepernick take a knee on the sideline when he played for the 49ers to protest racial injustice in 2016 — an act he and others believe has resulted in him being blackballed from the NFL — Howard understood she could also use sports to urge fans to think about inequities in society. She talked to other black student-athletes and students at Wisconsin, some of whom encouraged the athletes to use their platforms for all of them.)

 

WBUR
— FEBRUARY 6, 2019 FLASHBACK: Political Strategists React To Trump’s State Of The Union Remarks (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What do political strategists who are Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs advise Republican candidates and political organizations in Illinois to do? ANSWER: Do NOT defend or advance the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platform. Get rid of individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that support the aforesaid planks. Disgustingly, tragically, ever-increasingly, it looks like Republican candidates and political organizations in Illinois are taking that advice.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190209/editorial-the-danger-of-increased-polarization-in-age-of-digital-news

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The research, reported in the academic Journal of Communication, found that with fewer opportunities to learn about local politics, citizens have been more apt to apply their national partisanship to local issues. The AP reported that the research found that for the first time in a century in 2016, no state elected a senator from a different party than the one that won its presidential vote. “The voting behavior was more polarized, less likely to include split-ticket voting, if a newspaper had died in the community,” said communications professor Johanna Dunaway of Texas A&M. The local campaigns are just warming up for the April 2 election. Covering them in a suburban area as large as Chicago’s is no easy task. But we’re committed to doing so to the best of our ability. We owe it to you. As citizens, do your part. Get out to the forums to listen to the candidates. Study the issues, not just in the Daily Herald, but wherever you can find the information. We all owe it to the community.)
