— Fairer fares for the poor? Advocates want reduced Metra, CTA fares for low-income riders, but the costs would be high for transit agencies. – Mary Wisniewski (DIERSEN: The inevitable extension of this is that the less money that you have, the less money you should have to pay for everything: housing, food, clothing, health care, transportation, education, entertainment, booze, gambling, pot, etc. Of course, the aforesaid discourages people from taking care of their health, complying with laws, getting an education, getting a job, saving for retirement, etc., that is, it discourages individual responsibility, that is, it discourages prosperity.)

— Buttigieg touts military service, wary of overstating role – AP (DIERSEN: What work experience do you tout?

I tout what learned passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my fist attempt. I tout what I learned earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I tout what I have learned serving as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor for 19 years.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Like candidates from the time of George Washington, the South Bend, Indiana, mayor is leaning hard on his seven-month deployment as an intelligence officer in Afghanistan as a powerful credential. As he does, he walks a narrow path between giving his wartime service its due and overstating it. He is careful not to call himself a combat veteran even as he notes the danger he faced. One of his former competitors for the Democratic nomination, Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, has drawn a sharp contrast between his four combat tours in Iraq and Buttigieg’s service. And a former commanding officer, who said he thinks Buttigieg would be within his rights to say he is a combat veteran, nonetheless questions the use of a rifle in his ads. As support for his campaign grows, Buttigieg can expect more intense scrutiny of his military record in a political climate where military service is far from sacred, as past attacks on the records of Republican John McCain and Democrat John Kerry show.)

That large difference stems from more federal workers receiving certain types of benefits than private workers, and from particular federal benefits being more generous than those provided in the private sector.)

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/nov/18/new-york-times-editor-says-trump-has-put-his-reporters-lives-at-risk
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The executive editor of the New York Times has accused Donald Trump of putting his reporters’ lives at risk by subjecting them to personal abuse and describing them as “enemies of the people”. Dean Baquet, who has led the news outlet during one of the most tumultuous periods in its history, said the US president’s history of verbal attacks on journalists such as the New York Times’s political reporter Maggie Haberman was “appalling” and risked having serious consequences. “I think his personal attacks on reporters, including Maggie, are pretty awful and pretty unpresidential,” he said. “I think personal attacks on journalists, when he calls them names, I think he puts their lives at risk. “I think that when he actually calls reporters names, says they’re un-American, says they’re enemies of the people … that phrase has a deep history. I think when he says that, it is an appalling attack on the press.” Baquet’s comments in an interview with the Guardian reflect Trump’s lengthy history of abuse towards journalists in general and the New York Times in particular. They echo comments from the newspaper’s publisher, AG Sulzberger, who has also clashed with Trump over his treatment of the media. Last year Sulzberger said he had told Trump in a meeting that “this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence”.)

https://www.dailycommercial.com/opinion/20191110/from-right-deep-state-exists-and-threatens-our-republic
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s taken the better part of the last three years to finally convince me that there is a “deep state” and that its top priority is to get rid of Donald Trump before he has the chance to get re-elected. For years I have been concerned about entrenched government bureaucrats who serve far beyond the elected officials they supposedly serve. Some of these entrenched government workers have reached a point of concern have become known as the “deep state operatives.” Oxford Dictionaries defines “deep state” as follows: A body of people, typically members of the government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation of control of government policy. The “deep state” and its policy of allowing extremist ideologies to flourish may be the actual issues of concern. Because a federal employee faces a greater chance of dying on the job over getting fired, it has embolden more and more federal employees to undermine elected officials if their views differ with the leaders we have elected. Had Hillary Clinton been elected instead President Trump, we may have never known just have pervasive the “deep state” had become.)

https://kprcradio.iheart.com/content/2019-11-08-okay-boomer-lawyer-up/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s Millennials vs. Boomers. A young, female New Zealand lawmaker called out an aging, outspoken associate with an offside comment, “Okay, boomer,” and the reverberations are still being felt. She didn’t invent the online meme, but Cloe Swarbrick fired the shot heard round the world. The massive generation of Millennials, essentially people in their 20’s and 30’s, are beginning to give louder voice to their frustrations about the world they’re inheriting. The massive generation they’re targeting, Boomers, essentially everyone 55 and over, were the people who invented the concept of a Generation Gap. They did it when they were the age of today’s Millennials. Houston psychotherapist Dr. Lawrence Abrams says inner-generational warfare is just par for the course. “It gives you someone to get mad at, and we all need someone to get mad at sometimes,” he suggests. The older generation, however, has the law on their side when it comes to verbalized put downs, according to Cozen O’Conner attorney Joseph Sirbak. “’The Age Discrimination in Employment Act’ prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, and that covers people over 40, so by definition anyone who is a Boomer is going to be legally protected.” People under the age of 40 have no such legal protections. Okay, Millennial?)

While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $98,198-$127,654, 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 $82,279-$93,592.

DAILY HERALD
— Panel: Legal pot won’t affect workplace impairment policies – Richard Klicki (DIERSEN: Of course, pot pushers will file lawsuits for stoners, that is, for impaired employees, against employers. Pot pushers will argue that stoners, that is, impaired employees, have the “right” to be stoned. I should write a book about my GAO superiors and supervisors and their “three-martini lunches.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-martini_lunch They focused on destroying their employees like me who opposed their “three-martini lunches.”) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20191106/panel-legal-pot-wont-affect-workplace-impairment-policies
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Though the new law decriminalizes casual use of marijuana, the panel noted employers can still maintain policies that prohibit use of marijuana or other substances to maintain job and workplace safety, and companies that deal with federal contracts can still adopt no-tolerance policies since the federal government classifies marijuana as a top-level narcotic. Attorney Ross Molho, a partner with Clingen Callow & McLean LLC in Lisle, stressed that while employers cannot restrict marijuana use outside of work, they still have the right to maintain safe workplaces, which includes establishing policies that prohibit impairment at work. “Employees have the right to use this substance, but they don’t have the right to come to work impaired from this substance,” Molho said. “In some sense, we need to think about it like tobacco or alcohol.”)

— Twitter’s Political Ad Ban ‘Dorsey says that he wants to level the playing field. Perhaps he, with 4.2 million followers, should shadow-ban himself.’ – Bradley A. Smith
https://www.wsj.com/articles/notable-quotable-twitters-political-ad-ban-11572908984
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why does being a highly visible CEO mean one has “earned” more political influence than Walmart, the AFL-CIO, or any other entity that seeks to promote its political ideas? Dorsey spent his cash to start Twitter. They want to spend theirs to advertise on Twitter. How does this new policy “level the playing field?” . . .Twitter will ban not just candidate ads, but “issue ads,” because they “present a way to circumvent.” Does this mean that an ad promoting a documentary warning about (or dismissive of) climate change should be banned? How about an ad promoting a magazine profile of a candidate? Does a Gillette commercial lecturing men on the dangers of “toxic masculinity” qualify as an issue ad?)

And we know what’s happening,” Barrett said at a brief City Hall news conference. “Everybody knows what’s happening. It’s because the president is talking about it on a daily basis that people feel they have license to go after Hispanic people. And it’s wrong,” he said.)

KANKAKEE DAILY JOURNAL
— Party insiders keep public out of loop – David Giuliani (DIERSEN: What if Wheaton’s recent West District City Council vacancy had been filled by a special election? What if the Daily Herald had published lots of information on the 10 candidates including their demographics, how long they lived in the West District and in Wheaton, their work experience, their education, their professional certifications and licenses, etc.? What if there had been candidate forums?)
https://www.daily-journal.com/news/local/david-giuliani-party-insiders-keep-public-out-of-loop/article_b37e8b84-fbf4-11e9-b989-27e219b5c676.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The process to appoint a replacement for state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, D-Olympia Fields, is veiled in secrecy. That’s the way it usually works. Under state law, local party leaders have the right to fill legislative vacancies. Unlike other states, no special elections are held. Because Hutchinson is a Democrat, her party will choose a successor. When asked about it, a local Democratic Party leader revealed there were four applicants for the position but declined to identify them. I’m told Hutchinson’s last day is Sunday. After she resigns, the state party has 30 days to appoint a replacement. Both Democrats and Republicans typically cloak the entire appointment process in secrecy. However, Kankakee County Democratic Chairman John Willard said his party will hold a public meeting, although constituents will be barred from asking questions of candidates. I’m glad a public meeting is planned, but I think candidates should field questions from prospective constituents — something like the interview process for presidential candidates at Kankakee Community College. Why can’t we hold special elections when legislators resign? Both Democrats and Republicans warn that such elections cost taxpayers a lot, while private appointment processes cost practically nothing. That’s an easy argument for them to make because they’re the ones filling vacancies. But it could be argued the costs of special elections are worth the benefits to democracy. Most vacancies occur when legislators resign. The most understandable reason is health. But many others quit because they find higher-paying jobs, often as lobbyists. Hutchinson is leaving to take a $220,000-a-year job in Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration. For years, I have suspected that so many legislators resign in Illinois because party insiders get to appoint replacements. It would be harder to quit mid-term if they knew that taxpayers would foot the bill for a special election. I decided to see how Illinois compares against Iowa, which holds special elections when vacancies occur. I checked on how members of each state’s senate got into office in the first place.)

Again, what if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish ancestry?)

For example, that I was Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, Republican, born in 1948, non-poor, my wife had a good job, we had given up trying to have children, we did not adopt, we did not become foster parents, gun owner, 100% German American, raised in Crete, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, in 1988 when I was 40 years old I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, I was eligible to take early retirement in 1993 when I was 45 years old, etc. They frequently asked me questions to confirm that I opposed the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, illegal drugs, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, etc.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— HARDCOPY LETTER TITLE: Mayor Lightfoot, stop scorning Trump – Tim Schneider, Illinois Republican Party chairman, Chicago (DIERSEN: This letter to the editor, and others like it, should be in the inbox of a) every Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain in Illinois, b) every Republican Party leader in Illinois, c) every Republican elected official in Illinois, etc. GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails continue to fill the tremendous Republican communication void in Illinois.) 
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/letters/ct-letters-vp-110119-20191031-3bddlghmdbdtjdgjpzgqx27e3u-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR: President Donald Trump came to Chicago on Monday and told the truth about our dysfunctional government — and Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the news media got the vapors, gasping that he insulted Chicago and its wonderful citizens. Fake news — again! I was with President Trump over lunch, and listened to his candid and often very humorous assessment of challenges and opportunities for our nation. He demonstrated a grasp of world events that was remarkable, and he laid out his strategy and assessments in plain, direct language. He started with Chicago, “this beautiful place that’s run so poorly.” He recounted his call to the mayor and offer to work together — and shrugged at the silence since. He expressed heartbreak at the ongoing violence in too many neighborhoods, pointing out that it should be inexcusable for some of us not to be better protected by our government. He pointed out how he supported the members of the Chicago Police Department as he mocked the showboating by police Superintendent Eddie Johnson. I witnessed firsthand his rapport with rank-and-file officers and their support for this president. Everything he said reflected a concern for the people of Chicago and a love of this great city, even as he scorned weak leadership. Mere days after the superintendent was found asleep in his car at a stop sign, must we all extol him despite the city’s high crime rate and his evident failures of leadership? Chicago is a wonderful city, but the people of the city and all the amenities it offers, are separate and distinct from our city government. Chicago is great, but our lousy government drags it down. For example, during CTU’s 10-plus-day strike, students languished, once-in-lifetime sporting experiences were missed, as teachers danced to Michael Jackson tunes. And over what? Mayor Lightfoot and the functionally insolvent Chicago Public Schools offered teachers $100,000, along with Cadillac pension and health benefits, for nine months of work each year — as an opening bid! There’s nothing here that should be criticized? So, please give it a rest, Mayor Lightfoot: You should embrace the Trump administration and seek help for our problems. Instead of looking for ways to fight the president, why not sit with him and share ideas on how to improve our home? If by working together you improve or save one life, then you’ve made our great city even better.)
— Twitter’s political ad ban is disingenuous – LEONID BERSHIDSKY (DIERSEN: What if I sought/accepted political ads on www.gopillinois.com and in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails? Which Republican political organizations, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. would take out ads and what would those ads stress? Would Trump, Republican National Committee (RNC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), etc. take out ads? Would the candidates in contested races on the March 17, 2020 Republican primary ballot in my precinct take out ads? Of course, I would only accept ads that defend/advance the RNC platform and the IRP platform. In the past, GOPUSA ILLINOIS has taken out ads in IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC publications. Many IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc. leaders read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.)

I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,279-$93,592.

— Make These Tax Moves for 2019 Before It’s Too Late Looking to lower your tax bill? Here are a dozen steps to take as the end of the year approaches. – Laura Saunders (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly because the SALT cap discourages marriage and homeownership.) 
https://www.wsj.com/articles/make-these-tax-moves-for-2019-before-its-too-late-11572600606
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The most common itemized deductions are for state and local taxes (SALT), charitable donations and mortgage interest. Now that Congress has limited the SALT deduction to $10,000 per return both for single and married joint filers, it’s often easier for singles than couples to benefit from itemizing. For example, a married couple who deducts the limit of $10,000 of SALT needs more than $14,400 of other deductions to benefit from itemizing for 2019, because their standard deduction is $24,400. But a single filer who deducts $10,000 of SALT only needs other write-offs totaling more than $2,200, because his standard deduction is $12,200.)

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. In 1971 when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted 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.)

DAILY HERALD
— It wasn’t democracy that forced dangerous pot option on communities – Barbara Shafer (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, if you are an activist, candidate, elected official, party leader, major donor, political consultant, religious leader, education leader, medical leader, etc. who claims to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, you should be doing everything that you can to stop the sale of pot in your municipality and in the unincorporated areas of your county.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20191030/it-wasnt-democracy-that-forced-dangerous-pot-option-on-communities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Heather Steans couldn’t be more wrong, answering the question (re: cannabis legalization HB1438) “Is democracy a bad thing?” by stating the bill’s co-authors “don’t think so.” It wasn’t democracy. It was representation gone awry with 104 Illinois legislators speaking on behalf of 12.8 million Illinoisans. With 60 out of 104 legislators having received a total of $630,000 in marijuana lobbyist money in 2017 and 45 voting yes, is it interesting? Yes. Comped? Maybe. Democracy? No. Negotiation and compromise were missing, too, with a 600-page amendment appearing in an unrelated shell bill two days before the General Assembly’s end of session. No public debate. No referendum. No transparency. No democracy. Question: Was HB1438 a bad thing? The real question is “Who ends up paying the price: you, your kids, businesses, communities, teachers, or law enforcement?” Other states teach us the answer: All of the above. The co-authors claim, “Our intent was not to impose cannabis dispensaries on every community.” Will it end up that way? Washington State began with mandated medical, offered opt-out recreational, but finally allocated retail licenses to communities.)

How rich were your parents when you were young? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old, and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-29/warren-promises-hiring-restrictions-fines-for-u-s-corporations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Senator Elizabeth Warren stepped up her criticism of some of the largest U.S. corporations and singled out senior-level government officials who accepted jobs at Facebook Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., BP Plc and Walmart Inc. after working for the federal government. The Democratic presidential candidate vowed to impose hiring restrictions and fines that she said could reach trillions of dollars as part of her plan to tackle corruption in Washington.)

BIZ WOMEN
— Survey: Employees see lots of bias despite flurry of inclusion efforts – Caitlin Mullen (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, it became increasingly biased against its employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Ever-increasingly the leaders of Republican organizations in Illinois are biased against Republican candidates who are White, male, and/or non-veteran who have not been elected to a local office by age 30, county office by age 35, state office by age 40, and federal office by age 45. The aforesaid is called up-or-out, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

FED SMITH
— Social Security, the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), and Fairness – Brenton Smith (DIERSEN: Because of the WEP and because I get a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, my Social Security is dramatically reduced. Because I get a $53,316/year CSRS pension, my Social Security is only $2,118/year. I worked under Social Security for 10 years washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline; delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/10/29/social-security-wep-fairness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Social Security Administration released its analysis of the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act of 2019 (H.R. 141) at the end of September. The legislation would provide a break to older Americans (and their spouses) from the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) which reduces the size of the checks coming from Social Security when a person collects a pension from a job not covered by Social Security. The actuaries at the Social Security Administration estimate that this relief will cost the general taxpayer $33 billion over the next 10 years.)

https://pjmedia.com/trending/oak-park-residents-taunt-and-jeer-at-brave-citizen-fed-up-with-white-blaming-who-plans-to-move/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They even accused Chicago talk show host Dan Proft of catering to “white supremacists” for interviewing Moroney. I know Proft personally. This accusation is so over-the-top and ridiculous it shouldn’t need a defense. Proft is not only a very typical conservative, but he is also a former gubernatorial candidate from Illinois and a very serious player in Illinois GOP politics. He’s pragmatic and incredibly fair-minded. I don’t think Proft has ever been involved in any kind of controversy, which is hard to do in the political landscape of Illinois. He’s well-liked by most sane people. Calling him a “white supremacist” sympathizer is beyond the pale of decency. Go ahead and try to find something objectionable about this interview Proft did with Moroney. But perhaps the most juvenile and shameful moment of the most recent trustee meeting was when an Oak Park resident stood up to defend Moroney and let the audience know he and his family had decided to move out of the town because of the extreme intolerance of diverse opinions.)

POLITICO
— Reporter on Katie Hill scandal promotes GOP candidates for her seat The RedState writer Jennifer Van Laar who published a nude picture of the congresswoman has a long history of supporting Hill’s opponents. – MICHAEL CALDERONE (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois since 2000. Why don’t my critics/opponents put in writing their charges against me? Why don’t they put in writing “facts” that they allege support their charges?) 
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/28/reporter-katie-hill-scandal-gop-060576
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shortly after Rep. Katie Hill announced her resignation from Congress on Sunday night, the RedState reporter who published damaging allegations involving the Democratic rising star, along with a nude photo, was urging support for Republican candidates to win the seat. “If you want to help us flip @KatieHill4CA’s former #CA25 seat BACK to RED, please learn more about @MikeGarcia2020 and contribute to his campaign at http://ElectMikeGarcia.com!” tweeted Jennifer Van Laar, a deputy managing editor at RedState. Later, Van Laar suggested that she’d back former Congressman Steve Knight if he decided to run for the seat he lost to Hill in 2018. “He has integrity, cares about the individual, and is a policy wonk,” wrote Van Laar, who noted working for Knight’s 2014 campaign. “I’d be #TeamKnight again in a heartbeat.” Van Laar’s views, like RedState’s leanings, are no secret: She’s worked in Republican politics and the site is conservative, as is its owner, Salem Media Group. But Van Laar’s shift from reporting on Hill, and publishing what some have deemed “revenge porn,” to promoting Republicans for Hill’s old job is a blurring of roles that would be unacceptable in mainstream newsrooms.)
