— State facing huge debt for public-sector retiree health benefits, says Wirepoints – Karen Kidd (DIERSEN: Of course, to promote hatred against federal retirees like me, those who hate federal retirees like me stress that the federal government pays 75% of my and my wife’s health, dental, and vision insurance. We pay only $6,000/year for $24,000/year worth of insurance. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who never sought a federal job a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. But since 2000, my resume has been increasingly heavy on finding news and commentary articles on websites that are of interest to Illinois Republicans and bringing those articles to the attention of Illinois Republicans.)

ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
— Can GOP win back Orange County? Republicans disagree about path forward Does party need new messaging tools, or new message? – JORDAN GRAHAM (DIERSEN: If you asked all those in your precinct who voted for Democrats in the November 6, 2018 election what would it take for them to vote for Republicans in the November 3, 2020 election, what would they say?)
https://www.ocregister.com/2018/12/07/can-gop-win-back-orange-county-republicans-disagree-about-path-forward/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the heels of a historic election that swept Republicans from congressional power in Orange County, members of the GOP already are brainstorming how to win back the seats they lost to Democrats. But as party leaders and strategists talk, one thing seems clear: Republicans don’t agree on why they lost their one-time stronghold. Was it pure backlash against President Donald Trump? Did Democrats merely outspend and out-hustled the GOP? Were Republicans lousy at expressing their ideas? Or, on the other hand, has the GOP brand become toxic in an increasingly diverse county? And, perhaps most importantly, will local Republicans need to change their politics in order to win in the future? It all means that as Republicans devise a strategy to retake the four Orange County congressional seats they lost this cycle – and as Democrats prepare to defend them – any description of the political messaging of 2020 is, at best, a guess.)

From what I see, Democrats say it is to get rid of Trump once and for all, as well as those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

DAILY HERALD
— Here’s what individual teachers would get under Geneva school board’s offer – Susan Sarkauskas (DIERSEN: Federal employees do not get pay increases for earning job-related degrees, job-related professional certifications, or job-related professional licenses. I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181206/heres-what-individual-teachers-would-get-under-geneva-school-boards-offer

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report lists certified personnel from A to Z. It shows their current salaries, years with the district (“step”) and graduate-level education (“lane”). It also shows what they would be paid as their experience increases over the four years of the proposed contract. For some, it also includes a pay increase because of additional graduate education. According to the district’s calculations, individual teachers’ pay would increase, in four years, by as little as 6.56 percent to up to 44.71 percent for one individual. Actual dollar increases per person range from $4,044 over those four years to $28,796. The first figure is for a teacher who is on step 17 and does not have any graduate credits. The latter is for a teacher who is on step 16 with a master’s degree but who has now attained either a doctorate or a second master’s degree.)

They do not want me a) to know about their events and other activities, b) to promote their events and other activities, c) to attend their events, and d) to report on their events and other activities. They read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to get information to use against me.)

— Why Employers Should Support The Expansion Of Social Security – Nancy Altman (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/nancyaltman/2018/12/06/why-employers-should-support-the-expansion-of-social-security/#6e693f784be5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The nation is facing a looming retirement income crisis where workers will be unable to retire and maintain their standards of living. Age discrimination laws properly prohibit employers from firing older workers simply because of their age. An expanded Social Security will provide those older workers with greater opportunity to enjoy some leisure after a lifetime of work. It will also lower employer costs, since older workers are often the most expensive, and allow younger workers to move forward in their careers. Moreover, retirees are consumers. As they age, they tend to stop saving and start spending what savings they were able to accumulate during their working years. The goods and services they purchase are essential for a strong economy. A report published a half-decade ago found that Social Security’s combined payments in 2012 resulted in the production of approximately $1.4 trillion in economic output, the creation of over 9.2 million jobs, and an increase in the tax revenues of local, state, and federal governments that exceeded $222 billion. And that was a half-decade ago. Those positive effects are substantially larger today. And an expanded Social Security would produce even greater returns.)

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.)

DAILY HERALD
— VERY SAD IF NOT TRAGIC: DuPage holds historically Democratic inauguration – Robert Sanchez (DIERSEN: In Illinois, Democrat elected and appointed officials always defend and advance the Democrat Party platform more strongly than Republican elected and appointed officials defend and advance the Republican Party platform. Democrats focus on promoting 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.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181203/dupage-holds-historically-democratic-inauguration
(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.)

(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.)

(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.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Tollway reform rollout takes back seat to political firing brouhaha – Marni Pyke
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181129/tollway-reform-rollout-takes-back-seat-to-political-firing-brouhaha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Controversy erupted at the Illinois tollway Thursday as Executive Director Liz Gorman pushed back against allegations of politically motivated “firings” and said one administrator’s exit was a cause of celebration. The blowup coincided with the agency’s rollout of new ethics procedures prepared in response to concerns about potential favoritism regarding contracts and hiring. “The tollway is a well-run, transparent organization, but we can always look for better ways and better practices,” Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. However, Director Joseph Gomez criticized the ethics report for failing to address “what might be considered political firings.” Gomez said high-ranking managers in communications and human resources were terminated this year and told “the toll road was headed in a different direction.” “I don’t find that a good reason to fire senior members of the toll road staff,” Gomez said. “What was the ‘new direction’ at the tollway?” Gorman told Gomez, “If you’re inferring that I’m a woman and can’t handle it, I don’t appreciate it and that’s not the case.” “I don’t believe in firing people. They fire themselves,” she said. And when one department head left this spring, “I believe the building was in (unison) in singing, ‘Ding, dong, the witch is dead,'” Gorman said. At that point, Senior Assistant Attorney General Robert Lane admonished Gorman and board members that personnel discussions should occur in executive session. “I am so sorry you would think that anybody is disparaging you because of being a female,” Gomez told Gorman. “There are no political firings,” Schillerstrom clarified, adding personnel issues are handled by tollway executives, not board members.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps crow about their success in a) promoting hatred against Trump in Naperville and b) getting voters in Naperville to punish Trump by voting for Democrats.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-midterm-results-by-precinct-st-1111-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite a strong showing in Naperville in 2014 and 2016, unofficial DuPage numbers show Roskam took only half the Naperville precincts in 2018, helping propel Democrat Sean Casten to a victory. Results aren’t deemed official until all provisional ballots have been counted and validated. The deadline for that is Nov. 20. Hultgren’s previously red precinct map in Wheatland Township in Naperville went all blue, based on unofficial Will numbers, to give Democratic challenger Lauren Underwood of Naperville the win. Foster also gained momentum in the 11th Congressional race this year, picking up four DuPage Township precincts and a Wheatland precinct that in Naperville traditionally had been red for at least the last decade, unofficial results show. Foster performed much better in the Lisle and Naperville Township portions of the city, losing in three precincts Tuesday to his Republican challenger Nick Stella, and unofficial figures indicate the losses in those precincts were by 10 or fewer votes. Jim Ruhl, chairman of the Naperville Township Republican Organization, said what drove suburban voters to the polls was more related to personality than economics. “You cannot deny we have record job growth,” he said. And Ruhl expects voters will flip back in the next election cycle when the people they’ve elected fail to perform. “The very politics going on in Chicago are what will be coming. It will have a big impact on the DuPage County area,” Ruhl said. . .Several sections of the city remain primarily Republican. Spots where voters consistently vote Republican at the precinct level are located on the east side of Naperville between Chicago Avenue and Hobson Road and between South Washington Street and Plainfield-Naperville Road south of Oswego Road. Other pockets are located north of Book Road in the area near Naperville Presbyterian Church, in the south near Winding Creek Park, and in the area east of McDowell Grove Forest Preserve. . .Determining how a person will vote depends on multiple factors, including education, race, gender and socio-economic status, said Suzanne Chod, associate professor of political science and coordinator of gender and women’s studies at North Central College in Naperville. She said generally the more educated a person is the more likely he or she will vote for a Democrat. “Less educated people are more likely to vote Republican. Education is the biggest predictor of voting habits,” Chod said. People of color, women, and those who are on the higher end of the socio-economic scale, she said, also are inclined to vote Democratic. From a political science perspective, it’s no surprise Democratic candidates did well in Naperville. Chod said voters in suburban communities surrounding large cities tend to be wealthier and more educated. The fact that more people of color are moving into Naperville checks another box off the list. Kerr said Naperville’s demographics are changing as evidenced by the 800 people who attended a Naperville interfaith service last week in reaction to hate-motivated gun attack during a Jewish Shabbat service in Pittsburgh. The Jewish congregation was joined by the spiritual leaders of 11 faiths from the area, including Mormons, Hindus, Muslims and Catholics. “That’s the community we live in now,” Kerr said. “They’re concerned about people besides themselves.”)

MOTLEY FOOL
— 3 Ways to Increase Your Chances of Getting a Raise for 2019 Want a pay boost next year? Here’s how to score one. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: Federal employees cannot get significant pay increases by just asking for them. They must apply for promotions. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious in 1986 when I successfully applied for a promotion to GS-13, currently $96,403/year. Because of that, they “pulled out all the stops” to stop me from ever getting a promotion to GS-14, currently $113,920/year. In 1987, they forced the GAO manager who had promoted me to GS-13 in 1986 to retire. He had hired me in 1980 and had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986. In 1989, they really “pulled out all the stops” to get rid of me. They threw me off audits of IRS, gave me unfair performance expectations, and gave me an unfair performance appraisal. In 1989, if Henry Hyde had not intervened for me, they might have succeeded in getting rid of me. Because it frustrated their tremendous efforts to get rid of me, they were beyond furious a) when in 1990, I successfully applied to work for the young Jewish female GS-15 in the office who was responsible for audits of federal financial institution regulators, b) when later in 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, c) when in 1994, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, d) when in 1996, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor, and e) when in 1997, I became a Forensic Accountant. They were especially beyond furious in 1997 when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT.)

November 9 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTO OF PRITZKER: With Pritzker win, pot legalization is now in legislators’ hands, but not all are on board – Robert McCoppin (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you promote destruction.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-pritzker-illinois-marijuana-legalize-legislature-20181108-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Sabet, head of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, which opposes legalization, said he thinks the study authors are biased. Sabet said they failed to account for the serious downsides of drug use, such as car accidents and substance abuse. He also said decriminalization of marijuana, which took effect in Illinois in 2016, addresses many of the social justice issues. Holdouts against legalization remain ready to fight it in the General Assembly. House Republican leader Jim Durkin said lawmakers should stop their rush toward legalization. “I will never support legalization,” he said. “I don’t like how quickly we are moving. Illinois should not be part of this lab experiment. I see no societal value.” Durkin supports medical marijuana for pain and end-of-life care and said that program appears successful in prohibiting access for underage use and the illegal drug market. He called for lawmakers to review the results when that pilot program expires in summer 2020, before moving beyond it, but said he does not know how much opposition remains in Springfield.)

Ever-increasingly, they want me to agree to not report anything about their fundraisers before they will let me attend their fundraisers. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News They paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon and even worse things. Ever since I became a GOPUSA reporter in 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions at press conferences and share privileged information with reporters that have caused Republican candidates to be defeated and even worse things. Of course, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: HB40 reared its head in Tuesday’s election. Every incumbent who voted for the controversial measure was reelected, and sponsors of the HB4114 to repeal HB40 were defeated. They are state Reps. Peter Breen, Christine Winger and Sheri Jesiel. Breen’s defeat was particularly shocking. Along with being had been an outspoken opponent of HB40, which repealed the “trigger” language in Illinois stating that the day Roe v. Wade is ever modified or overturned, abortion would be illegal in Illinois with no exceptions. HB40 also removed the restriction on state funding for some abortions. After the bill passed and was signed by the governor, Breen filed suit to dismantle the legislation. Personal PAC, which supports abortion rights, spent more than $300,000 to unseat Breen, “and it was worth every penny,” Terry Cosgrove, president and CEO of Personal PAC told POLITICO, calling it one of the political action committee’s “biggest victories ever.”)

— Orange County Leans Purple in Shift for California Republicans – Christopher Palmeri
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-08/orange-county-leans-purple-in-shift-for-california-republicans
— New York Times Beats Race, Age Discrimination Class Claims (DIERSEN: Rather than fight race discrimination, fight gender discrimination, and/or fight age discrimination, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, and coworkers in the federal government who were White, male, and/or older, and who were victims of the aforesaid discrimination, “cut deals” to keep their jobs. I should write a book about the aforesaid in GAO’s Chicago office who, to keep their jobs, agreed to help GAO a) waste my career and b) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/class-action/ny-times-beats-race-age-discrimination-class-claims
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The New York Times Co. convinced a federal court Nov. 8 that employee allegations of race and age discrimination can’t be certified as a class action. There are too few employees in each of the proposed classes to justify class status, Judge P. Kevin Castel wrote for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs identified 10 employees for the race class and 24 for the age class.)

— If You Don’t Want To Flip Burgers At 67, Do These 10 Things Right Now – Jack Kelly (DIERSEN: What are some of the things that you did to qualify yourself for better paying jobs and to keep those jobs? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2018/11/08/if-you-dont-want-to-flip-burgers-at-67-do-these-10-things-right-now/#452f15ff3586
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here is what you should immediately start doing if you are in your late 30s and older: 1. Think critically if your type of work can be done later in life. Does your job have certain physical manual work requirements that have a built in expiration date as you age? Could technology easily disrupt your job? Can your position be relocated? Could a junior (cheaper) person take over your responsibilities with a little training period? Will your job be too taxing and stressful to continue in your 50s, 60s or 70s? 2. If your job doesn’t easily lend itself to working into your sixties, start figuring out a second career right away before it’s too late. 3. Start a side hustle. If it doesn’t work keep trying until something clicks. 4. Consider going back to school to earn a degree which may open some new doors, and offer a new lease on life. 5. Obtain training in a niche area that could lead to a second career. 6. Save and invest as much money as possible to allow you to retire on your own terms. This will be difficult because it requires giving up fancy vacations, flashy cars, and an extravagant lifestyle. 7. If you live in an expensive and high taxed neighborhood, sell your home, move to a lower cost state, and bank the savings. 8. Maybe pivot to a job with the government, education or other sectors that can’t discriminate like the private sector does. 9. Start a side business that is a passion but could also provide a steady stream of income. 10. Don’t bury your head in the sand and pretend that you’ll never grow old.)
— How Much Longer Will You Work? – Sara Zeff Geber
https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarazeffgeber/2018/11/08/how-much-longer-will-you-work/#ba8e51a32d2a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are you one of the many baby boomers who have done the math and determined that even with Social Security you have not saved enough money to retire? If so, welcome to a very large club. The Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI) and the Federal Reserve estimate the average accumulated wealth for workers in their 50s and 60s is less than $150,000. That amount will surely not support a 30+ year retirement, especially in the coastal areas of the U.S. Most financial advisors are recommending accumulating assets of at least $1million to ensure you will be able to finance your full retirement, including health care costs and care for yourself and your spouse or loved one. If you don’t have quite that much, does it mean you will have to work forever or live in your wealthy cousin’s basement? Probably not, but it depends. First of all, if you are in good health, why do you want to retire? If you aren’t sick of what you are doing, hang in there for a while and accumulate a bit more savings. If you are chomping at the bit to leave your current employer or stop doing whatever draws a 1099 at the end of the year, then it may be time to consider what else you might want to do that would still earn a paycheck and be more aligned with your current interests and values.)

— What Democrats Winning the House Means for Federal Employees – Eric Katz (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are not federal employees or federal retirees wanted Henry Hyde, Peter Roskam, and all the other Republican U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators to cut federal pay and benefits. They are furious that I have a $51,864/year Civil Service Retirement System pension and a $18,000/year federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy. They are furious that my pay increased from $15.85/hour to $125,325/year in today’s dollars while I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and that I had vacation, sick leave, and other benefits. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

For me it has included my working for GAO 1980-1997, my working for IRS 1971-1980, and my working for the Post Office 1966-1969.

POLITICO
— White House braces for midterm House loss – ZACH MONTELLARO (DIERSEN: Tragically, some Republican candidates in Illinois will lose on November 6, 2018. QUESTION: Who will Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs blame those losses on? ANSWER: Those who voted Ives in the primary and those who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Will the blamers succeed in striking the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform? Will the blamers succeed in banishing from the IRP all those who support the aforesaid planks? Will the blamers succeed in dissolving the IRP?)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-score/2018/10/29/white-house-braces-for-midterm-house-loss-392798
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “White House political director Bill Stepien wrote a three-page memo this week in which he outlined the political landscape confronting the GOP and bluntly warned that the party’s prospects for the House are ‘challenging.’ … [I]n the memo, Stepien attempted to divert blame from Trump toward several other factors that he said made a ‘traditionally challenging year even more difficult.’)

— You’ve Been Offered a Great New Job, but Is It Worth a Pay Cut? – Rob Walker (DIERSEN: I should write a book about taking pay cuts. GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, while I was working for IRS as a GS-12 Step 5 (currently $91,880) Revenue Officer, I applied for a job at GAO. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats offered me a transfer, but only if I agreed to suffer a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade to GS-9 Step 10. The Democrats who ran GAO would not have forced me to suffer a pay cut to transfer if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–media-facing-hostility-20181029-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While President Donald Trump ‘s attacks on the media are usually centered on national outlets like CNN and The New York Times, the attitudes unleashed have filtered down to journalists on the street covering news in local communities across the country. When a president describes the press as enemies of the people, “attitudes shift and the field crews get the brunt of the abuse,” she wrote. “And it’s not just from one side. We get it all the way around, pretty much on a daily basis.” The Radio Television Digital News Association is spreading safety and self-defense tips to journalists, most notably advising limits on the use of one-person news crews. The RTDNA has begun compiling anti-press incidents, like last week when an intruder was shot after kicking down glass doors at Fox’s local station in Washington. The National Press Photographers Association is developing workshops to spread safety advice to its members.)

Annual recruitment drive starts earlier this year as firms try to get a jump on preferred candidates – Liz Hoffman and Miriam Gottfried (DIERSEN: If you sought a government office, what would you stress? I would stress the experience that I gained working for the federal government, the professional certifications and license that I earned, and the degrees that I earned.

In addition to her being a Jewish woman, they resented the fact that she was younger, she was attractive, she was wealthy, she was a CPA, she had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and she was Russian-American. They were furious when I got her appointed the board of directors of IIT’s Financial Markets and Trading Master’s Degree Program.)

— Why Not ‘Trump Retirement Accounts’? If you want to cut middle-class taxes, go where the money is: Social Security – Tom Giovanetti (DIERSEN: To get my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-not-trump-retirement-accounts-1541025589
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To stir up excitement before the midterms, President Trump last week said he plans to cut middle-class taxes again in the coming year. The trouble is that Republicans have been so successful in cutting taxes in recent years that 44% of Americans no longer pay any federal income tax at all, and many more pay very little. After last year’s tax reform, a family of four earning $80,000 a year could pay as little as $2,300 in income tax: an effective 3% rate. A further 10% cut wouldn’t amount to much. On the other hand, low- and middle-income workers do send the government a large share of their earnings in the form of payroll taxes. That same family of four pays $12,240 at the 15.3% combined rate for Social Security and Medicare. If you want to cut taxes for middle-class and low-income workers, that’s where you have to do it. But instead of an impotent income-tax cut or, say, a payroll-tax cut of 4% of income, why not redirect that same 4% into personal retirement accounts for every worker? Call them “Trump Retirement Accounts.” With no decline in disposable income, American workers would suddenly be investing for retirement at market rates in accounts they own and control, instead of relying on Congress to keep Social Security solvent.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Pre-Existing Conditions Have Become One of the Hottest 2018 Midterm Election Issues. Here’s What Is at Stake – ELIZABETH O’BRIEN (DIERSEN: What pre-existing conditions do you have? I have type 2 diabetes. I am obese (BMI 30.7). My vision cannot be corrected to 20/30, let alone 20/20. I need cataract surgery on both eyes. I have partial red/green color blindness. I do not get enough exercise. I sit in a chair 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. 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. Knowing that federal retirees and their spouses have lifetime membership in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program (https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/) helped me endure the many negatives associated with being a federal employee for almost 30 years.)
