— 45 years ago: Richard Nixon’s ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ (DIERSEN: What were you doing 45 years ago? I was 25 years old. I worked for IRS in both its Joliet office and in its Chicago office at 63rd and Halsted as a GS-11 Revenue Officer (currently $67,638/year). I had worked for IRS since June of 1971. I lived in a townhome in University Park that I had bought new a year earlier. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new 2 years earlier and a 1962 Chevy BelAir. I took one graduate business course at a time at Loyola. My mother and brother lived in Crete.)

— Warren ancestry brings attention to how tribes decide membership – AP (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? One of my worst demographics is that I am 100% German national origin. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. According to 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. What if I had pretended to be Swedish? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin. I should write a book about those of the aforesaid who are of German national origin themselves, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)

— Illinois Family Institute advocacy group drops McCann – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-ken-griffin-jim-durkin-20181017-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The socially conservative Illinois Family Institute said it was rescinding its endorsement of Republican state Sen. Sam McCann’s Conservative Party bid for governor because of a McCann mailer attacking GOP state Rep. Tom Morrison of Palatine. McCann’s mail piece accuses Morrison of being a “Rauner RINO,” a reference to the acronym for “Republican in Name Only.” It reads: “Don’t vote for fake conservatives Bruce Rauner or Tom Morrison.” Rauner has come under fire from social conservatives for supporting legislation expanding abortion, immigration and transgender rights. On its website, the Family Institute accused McCann of an “11th-hour betrayal” of Morrison, who is facing a challenge from Democrat Maggie Trevor of Rolling Meadows. McCann’s candidacy is being funded almost entirely by labor union affiliates of the Operating Engineers. The institute accused McCann of being “bought and paid for” by unions.)

— Preckwinkle receives a controversial campaign contribution – Bill Cameron (DIERSEN: To those who blast me for not giving money to Republican candidates, in my defense, I stress that I offer all Republican candidates GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions free of charge and without any advertising. GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000 a year. I spend thousands of dollars each year for newspaper subscriptions, website expenses, and internet expenses. GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails have gone out each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening since 2015. Those emails have included links to more than 315,200 articles and information on many upcoming events. It takes me about an hour for each 6 links. That means that since 2004, I have spent about 52,500 hours of what is left of my life putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out free of charge and without any advertising. The main reason why I have a) less money to give Republican candidates, b) more time to use GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to help elect those candidates, and c) more motivation to help elect those candidates is the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had in wasting my career and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

Because I am a federal retiree, my wife and I pay only $6,000/year for $24,000/year worth of health, dental, and vision insurance.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois’ 6th Congressional District Republican candidate: Pete Roskam (incumbent) Democratic candidate: Sean Casten
CBS News Battleground Tracker Rating: Edge Democrat Democrats are eager to capture Illinois’ 6th Congressional District, which Clinton won by 7 points in 2016. Rep. Pete Roskam is relatively conservative for his wealthy, well-educated suburban district outside of Chicago. He votes in line with the president nearly 95 percent of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight. He also opposes abortion and once called climate change “junk science” — even though he is currently a member of the House Climate Solutions caucus. Roskam voted for the tax overhaul and to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act in 2017. Democrat Sean Casten holds views diametrically opposed to Roskam’s on climate change, as a scientist and a founder of a clean-energy company. Casten is also one of the Democrats running for office who has been endorsed by Obama. Although there has been very little polling in the race, a September poll by the New York Times found Casten trailing Roskam by one point.)

— FRONT PAGE HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Geneticists See Work Distorted For Racist Ends – Amy Harmon (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? One of my worst demographics is that I am 100% German national origin. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. According to 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. What if I had pretended to be Swedish? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin. I should write a book about those of the aforesaid who are of German national origin themselves, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn people of German national origin to curry favor with those who are anti-German American.)

CPA JOURNAL
— Reflections on My 66 Years in Public Accounting – Arthur J. Radin, CPA (DIERSEN: Democrats use “up-or-out” to get rid of Republicans, and especially to get rid of Republicans who are White, male, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.cpajournal.com/2018/09/21/reflections-on-my-66-years-in-public-accounting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The concept of “up-or-out”—either get promoted in a reasonable time or find another job—did not exist until around 1965, when the large firms started to adopt the policy. Eight years after starting at Touche and after many rapid promotions, I was made a partner at the age of 31. I did not think I was too young to be a partner; others did. Today, 40 years after I left the firm, I am amazed how often someone introducing me says, “He was a partner of Deloitte,” to establish my credentials.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000 a year. I spend thousands of dollars each year for newspaper subscriptions, website expenses, and internet expenses.

Those emails have included links to more than 315,000 articles and information on many upcoming events. It takes me about an hour for each 6 links. That means that since 2004, I have spent about 52,500 hours of what is left of my life putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out free of charge and without any advertising. The main reason why I have a) less money to give Republican candidates, b) more time to use GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to help elect those candidates, and c) more motivation to help elect those candidates is the success that my Democrat superiors in the Republican can)

FED SMITH
— How is the Annual COLA Different from an Annual Pay Raise? – Ian Smith (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have objected the most to a) the Post Office hiring me in 1966 and letting me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS hiring me in 1971 and letting me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS promoting me in 1972, 1973, and 1974, d) GAO hiring me in 1980 and letting me work there for almost 18 years, e) GAO promoting me in 1986, f) my getting COLAs, g) my getting step increases, and h) my getting pay raises.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/10/15/annual-cola-different-annual-pay-raise/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Every year around this time, we receive comments and questions from our readers about the cost of living adjustment (COLA) and the pay raise. Each is determined around the same time of the year and both take effect in the following year, assuming that there is a COLA and/or pay raise. The comments we see indicate that some federal employees and retirees do not understand the difference between the two. This is understandable; the federal pay and retirement systems are governed by a complex process with many different factors that can lead to endless variations depending on a person’s situation. . .The purpose of this article is to explain the differences in the COLA and the annual pay raise in an effort to clear up any misconceptions or confusion. The COLA The 2019 COLA was just announced. This applies to federal retirees and Social Security recipients, but not to current federal employees. In 2019, it will be 2.8%. The process for determining the COLA is automatic. You will either get one or not based solely on a formula that is put in place by law and determined based on the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The amount of the COLA has nothing to do with whether a Republican or a Democrat majority is in office, whether or not it might get vetoed, or out of the spite or benevolence reflected by the latest pet projects among politicians in Congress. If Congress decides to change the law governing how a COLA is calculated, then maybe it will become subject to politics, but as of right now, it’s not.)

Your body is the temple of the Lord. SEE: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-religious-health-care-cost-sharing-1014-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Barazza family belongs to a health care sharing ministry, a religious nonprofit in which members pay for each other’s health care needs. Compared with traditional health insurance premiums, ministries’ monthly member costs are often much lower. But unlike traditional insurance, members must often commit to religious principles. The ministries generally won’t pay for services that don’t align with those principles, such as abortion and substance abuse treatment, and they often limit coverage of pre-existing conditions and prescriptions.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/opinion/ct-sta-slowik-highest-paid-superintendent-st-1011-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A system that rewards public servants with excessive compensation should rile south suburban homeowners struggling to pay high property taxes and other bills. Paraday’s base salary this year is $309,306, but that’s only part of the story. The cost of health insurance, an annuity, pension contributions, a car allowance and other expenses drove Paraday’s total compensation for the year to $407,145 — making him the highest-paid superintendent in Illinois. Paraday oversees 1,130 students in three schools, which were delayed from opening in August due to mold in the junior high. Yet, Paraday makes more than the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, who oversees 371,382 students in 644 schools. Open the Books, a Burr Ridge-based watchdog group, discovered that on top of his other compensation, Paraday is set to receive a “golden handshake” of $762,615 for unused paid days off. “Unused, earned sick leave, unused vacation days and unused personal business days shall be allowed to (accumulate), without limit,” Paraday’s contract states. “The superintendent, at his discretion, may submit for payment, at the current per diem, any unused sick, personal or vacation day(s).” Paraday, 56, who has been superintendent since 2005, accumulated 567 days at a rate of $1,345 per day, Open the Books said, based on information it obtained from the district through the Freedom of Information Act. “The bloated Illinois education bureaucracy rewards those who know how to play the pay-and-pension lottery,” Adam Andrzejewski, Open the Books founder and CEO said in a statement. “It’s time the dollars start following the children rather than the bureaucracy.”)

— All but one member of the state’s Democratic congressional delegation has signed a letter encouraging Gov.

Under the new plan, taxpayers will be able deduct state individual income, sales and property taxes up to $10,000. The deduction is currently unlimited. All Illinois Dems but Rep. Dan Lipinski signed the letter saying the provision will have “serious consequences for Illinoisans.” – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)

Despite having endless millions to spend on his race, he was always going to have a tough path to reelection in a Democratic state. It was the entrance of a third-party conservative candidate that appeared to seal his fate by making Rauner a governor without a natural constituency. Democrat J.B.

— To Stop Misinformation From Spreading, Who Should Be Supervising Fact-Checking Sites? – Rachael Garcia (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all information is misleading except for the information that they put out or bless. What are your fact checking qualifications? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.

I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation may have ended, but it’s ignited a group of Chicago-area pro-choice activists. They’re launching WomenAreTheBlueWave.com to turn red legislative seats blue. “We marched. We voted. Now we need to volunteer,” the web site states. The effort was initiated by Illinois Democratic Women and Personal PAC. “Women are going to make the difference in November here and throughout the nation and we want to help harness that energy given that more is at stake now than ever before for women and families,” says Jennifer Lee, co-President of IL Democratic Women. How it works: Women and their allies are invited to sign up at WomenAreTheBlueWave.com. They will then be connected with nearby local campaigns that need volunteer help the most to flip key state districts for candidates with pro-women and pro-choice agendas.)

I should write a book about such Democrats in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County. I Democrat voter in my precinct recently told me that Republicans deserve all the hatred that they are getting from Democrats.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But people close to Pon said he was at odds with the administration over its planned revamp of the personnel agency, which would have diminished his role and authority. As part of a proposed government-wide reorganization announced by Trump in June, most of the OPM’s functions would be farmed out to other departments and its policy role shifted to the White House.)

EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER
— German heritage deep in Illinois? – Tom Emery (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. In government and in politics, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use everything that they can, including your national origin, against you. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, including those of German national origin, who have used my German national origin against me.)
https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/German-heritage-deep-in-Illinois-Ja-13283656.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Saturday is German-American Day, which is observed every Oct. 6. In Illinois, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. German ancestry remains prevalent in Illinois, as it has for a century and a half. The strength of German-Americans helped shape Illinois history through a Civil War — and two world wars against the old country. Of Illinois’ nearly 1.8 million residents in 1860, nearly 325,000 were of foreign birth. Germans were the largest ethnic group with 130,000, nearly 8 percent of the state’s total population. In Chicago, 20 percent of the population was German. Many had arrived following the failed German revolution of 1848. A heavy concentration of Germans also was found in St. Clair County, near Belleville. Others settled in cities such as Quincy, Alton, Peoria, Springfield and Galena. In the northern Illinois community of Peru, Germans made up 1,000 of the total population of 3,500 in 1854. The names of a number of communities across the state honor German heritage, including New Baden, New Minden, Germantown, Darmstadt and Meppen. Many Germans were farmers, while others were laborers, merchants and skilled tradesmen. Some followed the popular crafts of their homeland and worked as butchers, bakers, shoemakers, furniture and wagon builders, and cigar makers. Architecture of traditionally German-American buildings, often in brick, remains visible across the state. German-language newspapers were found across the state, even in the smaller cities. In 1859, future presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln bought the press and type to establish a German-language Republican paper. In Peoria, future Illinois Secretary of State Edward Rummel, a native of Baden, Germany, ran a German paper and print shop that produced materials in both German and English. John Wood, who founded the city of Quincy and served as Illinois governor for 10 months in 1860 and 1861, was born to a German mother. In 1892, Prussia native John Altgeld, best known for his pardon of three of the accused in the infamous Haymarket Riot, won election for one term as Illinois governor. Politically, Germans’ support was crucial for a candidate, and their power was felt in 1856 during the first Illinois Republican state convention. The German influence also was a key factor in the 1860 presidential race and, at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, German resolutions were even incorporated into the national platform. Germans were perceived to be staunch abolitionists, though some scholars dispute that claim. Nearly 6,000 Illinois Germans enlisted during the first six months of the Civil War, comprising almost three entire regiments. One top German commander was Friedrich Hecker, a renowned 1848 revolutionary who was a gentleman farmer near Belleville, in the heart of heavily German settlements. Another German regimental commander from St. Clair County was Gustave Koerner, who served as lieutenant governor of Illinois from 1852 to 1856 and was a pallbearer at Lincoln’s Springfield funeral. By 1910, more than 319,000 German immigrants were in Illinois, and more than 1 million people of German descent — a 10th of the national total — called the state home. With nearly 400,000 first- and second-generation German immigrants, Chicago was the sixth-largest German city on the globe in 1914. The high concentration of Germans caused some protest at the outbreak of World War I, as many of German descent decried their adopted country’s stance against their homeland. Music by German composers such as Mozart and Beethoven was banned in some public places, and some German-Americans were under surveillance by state and federal officials. Other German-Americans were forced to recite loyalty oaths in public spectacles. Within a few years, use of the once-prominent German language faded from schools and churches. As a result, many Germans in Illinois distanced themselves from their heritage. From 1914 to 1920, the number of Illinois residents who identified themselves as German on the Census dropped more than 41 percent, to 112,000. But many Germans remained loyal to the American cause and took active roles in the war effort, both at home and abroad. A quarter-century later, dislike of German residents was a minor issue in World War II, as many chose to focus their disgust on Adolph Hitler, rather than their German neighbors. Today, German heritage in Illinois is celebrated in festivals and carnivals statewide, while some communities in Chicagoland — as well as Moline, Peoria, Gibson City, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Millstadt — feature popular German restaurants. Museums and research centers on German-American history and heritage are found in several large metro areas, including Chicago, and the Quad Cities.)
