CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Government to furloughed workers: Ask landlords about doing chores to cover rent – Michael Brice-Saddler (DIERSEN: Employers, and just about everyone else, view the job skills that federal employees acquire as being WORTHLESS.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-government-shutdown-furloughed-workers-20181229-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Thursday, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management tweeted sample letters to help the roughly 800,000 affected workers negotiate with creditors and mortgage companies. One letter, meant for employees to send to their landlords, discussed a temporary reduction in rent payments and further suggests “the possibility of trading my services to perform maintenance (e.g. painting, carpentry work) in exchange for partial rent payments.” On CNN Saturday morning, Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, called the suggestion about trading services for rent payments “laughable” and “unfortunate.” “I think it’s disgusting, candidly,” Reardon said on “New Day.” He added, “It’s wrong to treat human beings this way.”)

https://amgreatness.com/2018/12/07/lessons-from-the-failure-of-the-california-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As early as debates between the Federalists and anti-Federalists, political parties formed as a means of coordinating and communicating throughout the Republic. Although George Washington warned against the “baneful effects of the spirit of party generally,” parties have been necessary to coordinate coalitions to confront issues ranging from slavery to social spending, and from protectionism to prohibition. Many may lament the lack of a viable third party; however, there are very real mathematical reasons to explain why we have two. Once that is understood, it will become clear why Brulte’s thinking about candidates rather than the party being responsible for messaging is blinkered and can only further sink the California GOP in continued and perpetual failure.)

SUBURBANITE
— ‘Proud Deplorable’ thanks President Trump – Sue Froelich (DIERSEN: How much did/will your income drop when you retire? My income dropped $73,461/year (59%), from $125,325/year down to $51,861/year in today’s dollars, when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
http://www.thesuburbanite.com/opinion/20181222/letter-proud-deplorable-thanks-president-trump

(FROM THE LETTER: I retired in 2003 and my income was cut in half when I went on Social Security and pension. Fortunately I had a few investments that were doing quite well which almost made up for the difference in my income. I was making almost as much as when I was working and this additional money was most appreciated by this senior living on a fixed income. All my investments were doing well until 2008 when an unqualified community organizer became president and all my stocks tanked. The first year I lost over $10,000. Even though things improved during his second term, I was never able to make up the difference. One of my investments used to give me $450 a quarter and went to $69 a quarter during Obama’s eight-year regime. That investment now gives me $651 a quarter. This Proud Deplorable thanks President Trump for all the good things he’s doing for our country!)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/even-a-booming-job-market-cant-fill-retirement-shortfall-for-older-workers-11545326195
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even though the official unemployment rate is just 3% for older workers, the actual jobs environment is surprisingly bleak. Nearly eight million older Americans are out of work or stuck in low-quality jobs that offer little opportunity to prepare for retirement, a Wall Street Journal analysis of government data shows. At Risk Nearly eight million older Americans are out of work or stuck in low-quality jobs that offer little opportunity to prepare for retirement. The figures include the nearly 2.1 million Americans who are out of work, working part time because they can’t find a full-time job or have stopped looking because they don’t think anyone will hire them. Another 5.8 million Americans—or 23% of full-time, year-round workers ages 55 and older—are employed in what economists describe as “bad jobs” that offer no health benefits and typically pay poorly. A decade ago, about 20% held these jobs, according to census data compiled by the Minnesota Population Center.)

— Will Democrats revive the Office of Technology Assessment in 2019? – Chase Gunter (DIERSEN: In 1997, I was a “casualty of Republican cost-cutting.”)
https://fcw.com/articles/2018/12/07/2019outlook-ota-revival-gunter.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: From 1972 to 1995, the Congressional office provided scientific and technological advice to lawmakers, penning more than 750 studies and, at its peak, supporting 140 staffers with a budget exceeding $30 million in today’s dollars. When Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, the office became a casualty of Republican cost-cutting. . .One alternative emerging among conservatives is to increase resources to offices with technological focuses that already receive funding, like the Government Accountability Office’s IT oversight arm. “There is this sort of natural skepticism of expert bureaucracies and the optics of recreating a new federal agency,” said Graves, who has also worked at R Street and Cato Institutes. “Republicans are going to be much naturally more favorable to doing this in GAO rather than OTA.” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who led this year’s Senate-side push to revive OTA, isn’t limiting the path for improving tech capacity in Congress just to OTA. Keith Chu, Wyden’s press spokesperson, said the senator will look at a range of options to bring tech expertise to Congress, “whether it’s through reviving the OTA, giving GAO additional resources, or encouraging programs like TechCongress fellowships.” But boosting funding for GAO without bringing back an agency with OTA’s mission comes with downsides, because the two have fundamentally distinct visions, said Schuman. “GAO is an agency that has a waste, fraud and abuse mission — that is the organizational culture approach, that is the way they think about things,” he said. “OTA is often about imagining what’s possible and not criticizing what currently exists.”)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do those who want Republicans to lose want Republican party leaders to do? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

 

(THE ARTICLE: What percent of those individuals, organizations, and companies that are leaving Illinois, leaving DuPage County, and leaving Milton Township are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time – 98%, 99%, 100%?

 

Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. Those who want dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and even worse things ALWAYS VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.

 

QUESTION: What do Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township want Republican party leaders to do?

 

ANSWER: They want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee to downplay, to ignore, if not to strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the IRP platform and the illegal drugs and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They know that downplaying, ignoring, and striking the aforesaid planks will drive individuals, organizations, and companies out of Illinois that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

 

Further, those who want Republicans to lose want Republican party leaders to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

 

Further, those who want Republicans to lose want Republican party leaders to banish individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s what he proposes: Amend the Illinois Constitution’s pension clause that in effect says the retirement benefits in force on an employee’s first day of work can’t be changed for the rest of his or her life. Scale back the too-generous 3 percent compounded cost-of-living adjustments that most retirees receive. “The fact is, a 3 percent annual compounded COLA in an era of very low nonexistent inflation is not progressive and not sustainable,” Emanuel said. He also lobbied for a constitutional amendment switching the state from a flat income tax to a graduated one that would hit wealthier taxpayers. “Coming at this challenge from both sides, revenue and reform, is the clearest path out of this challenge and the fairest,” he said. Emanuel also suggested borrowing in the short term to shore up the funds, reintroducing what’s known as a “consideration” model to give public employees more retirement savings choices, and bringing a casino to Chicago.)

— Illinois passes state law giving pension boost to one Chicago alderman – Glenn Minnis (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superior who focused on wasting my career and getting rid of me boasted that he got a federal employee benefit reduced because of me. He was beyond furious that I got almost 3 years of Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credit 1966-1969 while I worked for the Park Forest Post Office even though I had worked only part-time. He got the benefit reduced so that future retirees got only a pro-rated CSRS credit based on the number of hours that they worked. For example, instead of the almost 3 years of CSRS credit that I got, I would have gotten only half of that if I had worked only 20 hours a week on average.)

https://www.christianpost.com/news/pro-life-leader-accuses-wheaton-student-leaders-of-demonizing-fellow-evangelicals-after-controversy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A black pro-life activist has hit back at the student body leaders of the Christian Wheaton College after a school-wide email positioned that a recent talk of his made students feel “unsafe” on campus. The controversy stemmed from a speech Ryan Bomberger of the The Radiance Foundation delivered at Wheaton called “Black Lives Matter, In and Out of the Womb” on November 14, which was organized by the Wheaton College Republicans. Student leaders claimed that Bomberger made several comments at the time that “deeply troubled members of the community,” making “many students, staff and faculty of color — feel unheard, and unsafe on our campus.”)

Of course, they wanted those women to charge me with sexual harassment and even worse things.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20181206/metoos-unintended-consequences
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent Bloomberg News headline came as no surprise: “Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost.” In a word, it was inevitable. Some men are so concerned about the possible repercussions of what they might say or do that they’re steering clear of women in the workplace altogether. And as a result, according to Bloomberg, Wall Street “risks becoming more of a boy’s club, rather than less of one.”)

They want me to be remembered as someone who was a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, rich, gun owner, 100% German Americans, draft avoider, and someone whose ancestors had been in America since 1844. They want me to be remembered as being someone who opposed the promotion of a) dependency on government, b) dependency on charity, c) LGBTQ activity, d) abortion, e) mass/illegal immigration, f) abolition of the First and Second Amendments, g) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, h) patronage, i) political affiliation discrimination, j) reverse discrimination, k) age discrimination, and l) retaliation. They want me to be remembered as someone who filed false and frivolous lawsuits. They want me to be remembered as someone who they could not manipulate or dominate. They want me to be remembered as someone who was not a member of a church, who did not attend church services, and who did not give money to a church. Even though there are two large cemeteries in my precinct, because so many of my critics/opponents are/were in Wheaton, I do not want to be buried in Wheaton, I want to be cremated so that they cannot urinate/defecate on my grave.)

HULTGREN FUNERAL HOME
— OBITUARY: Thomas Lee “Tom” Johnson
https://www.hultgrenfh.com/obituary/tom-johnson
(FROM THE OBITUARY: Thomas Lee “Tom” Johnson, age 73, of West Chicago, went peacefully to be with his Lord on Monday, December 3, 2018, following a four-month battle with cancer. . .Tom worked hard to pattern a life of service around his personal faith, his family, and his deep-seated commitment to basic American ideals. Tom graduated from Oak Lawn Community High School (IL) in 1963. From 1966-68, Tom served in the U.S. Army, including a tour of duty in Vietnam (1967-68). Tom pursued his interest in law, receiving degrees from the University of Michigan (B.A., Political Science) in 1970 and DePaul University College of Law (J.D.) in 1974. Following law school, Tom joined the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office as Assistant State’s Attorney, where he became chief of the White Collar Crime Division. In 1979, he co-founded a private practice, Johnson & Westra, in Wheaton, IL. He took his first steps toward public office when he entered the 1984 race for the 14th U.S. Congressional District, campaigning door-to-door in 550 precincts, losing the race by just 776 votes. In 1993, he was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives and served the 50th District until 2003. While in the House, Tom chaired the Judiciary Committee and was co-chairman of the Illinois Prison Reform Committee. From 2011-13, Tom was the Illinois State Senator for the 48th District.)

When President Trump arrived, he strode past and then sat down in the same pew as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who opposed him in a presidential campaign in which Mr. Trump led supporters in chanting, “Lock her up.” Mrs. Clinton sat stony-faced, staring straight ahead. . .Yet for all the talk of unity, there were no Democratic speakers at Wednesday’s service, and no handshakes between Mr. Trump and Bill and Mrs. Clinton.)

I worked for GAO 1980-1997. In 1981, Charles Bowsher took over GAO and ran it for the next 15 years. He focused on cleaning GAO’s house, that is, he focused on getting rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, non-veteran, and/or who did not have a degree from an Ivy League university who GAO had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, I got promoted to GS-13 in 1986 when I was 38 and survived until 1997 when I was 49. The following helped me do that: I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 31 and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cronin, meanwhile, delivered his third inaugural address during the county’s ceremony. “As we begin our new chapter in governing, I’m energized both by our achievements and by the challenges that lie ahead,” said Cronin, who has served as chairman since 2010. He said DuPage officials have the opportunity to work in a bipartisan manner to solve problems and draft policies “that work for those who need help the most.” “I believe we can serve as a beacon of good government in a state that sorely needs a compelling example of county government that is responsive and responsible,” Cronin said. He said he will seek compromise. “We must demonstrate what happens when leaders listen, collaborate and negotiate to arrive at thoughtful, creative solutions,” Cronin said.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181204/constable-the-living-have-plenty-to-say-about-dying
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You might not be certain whether your taxes will go down or up. But death is at an all-time high. A record 2.8 million Americans died last year, about 70,000 more than perished in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The life expectancy for Americans fell for the third year in a row, led largely by dramatic increases in suicide and drug overdoses. Life expectancy hasn’t fallen like this since the years 1915 through 1918, when World War I was killing 675,000 Americans and the flu pandemic took an estimated 670,000 more.)

https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/03/questions-google-conservative-search-results/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is Google aware of other instances in which employees advocated for suppressing The Daily Caller or Breitbart?
[Google engineer Scott] Byer wrote in his post: “Let’s make sure that we reverse things in four years.” He seems to indicate that Google employees should take actions to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t win re-election in 2020. Is that a use of official Google communications that the company approves of? Have other Google VPs been part of internal conversations about potentially suppressing conservative media outlets, or just [engineering vice president David] Besbris? Previous reporting by the Wall Street Journal demonstrated that Google employees brainstormed ways to manipulate search results in response to President Trump’s travel ban. Can Google guarantee that there won’t be a third example of Google employees seeking to manipulate search functions for anti-Trump purposes?)

https://www.wnd.com/2018/12/memo-to-trump-stop-google-before-2020/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Russia is not a threat to free elections in the U.S., Google is. I know it sounds crazy. But the danger is real in 2020. We have allowed and empowered Google to become weaponized for the ultimate political dirty trick only two years from now. Google has boasted about its goal to influence opinions, values and purchases for years. It has the database. It has been granted a monopoly to use it. . .Once free speech and freedom of the press are gone, free and fair elections are no longer possible. That’s the real danger a special counsel or your new attorney general should be investigating early in 2019, if you don’t mind me suggesting. I know you’ve got so much on your agenda and face overwhelming opposition at every turn. But time is short to save free speech and the free press from those who are rigging the algorithms – against fair news coverage of your administration and, more broadly, against fair-minded independent news, which is being censored and squelched at every turn. They’ve already taken my bullhorn. Don’t let them take yours. Tell Americans about the fabulous exposé they will see in “The Creepy Line.” They will thank you for it.)

CBS NEWS
— Commentary: George H.W. Bush was too moderate for the GOP base – MICHAEL GRAHAM (DIERSEN: While Ronald Reagan was President, GAO assigned me to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13, currently $96,403/year. While George H.W. Bush was president, GAO threw me off audits of IRS, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and did not promote me beyond GS-13. My Democrat GAO superiors believed that George H.W. Bush had no use for me because I was “too conservative.”)

BAKERSFIELD NOW
— Motorcyclists offer escort to young recruits heading to basic training. (DIERSEN: Since 1966, I have asked myself, what if I had tried to enlist. In 1966, when I was 18 years old, I was 1-A notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease). I had not demonstrated any leadership potential. I had a) done yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; b) washed dishes 1964-1966; and c) cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966.)
