The federal government is the biggest age discriminator in America. If you are a federal employee who is Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, the federal government wastes your career and gets rid of you if you do not make 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.

— A south suburban superintendent is set to retire at age 56 with a $762k payout. Angry? Get informed and vote. – Ted Slowik
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.)

— Rauner “totally” agrees that citizens “are being skipped over” for illegal immigrants (DIERSEN: It is far easier for employers to exploit citizens of foreign countries, and especially citizens of foreign countries who are in America illegally. From what I see, far too many employers in America prefer hiring citizens of foreign countries FOR THEIR BAD JOBS, and especially citizens of foreign countries who are in American illegally, over citizens of America. What BAD JOBS did you have? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, all the jobs that I had were BAD JOBS. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the graduate business and accounting courses that I took a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) qualified me for a “new trade or business,” d) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and e) were a distraction.)

— New Pritzker ad features son of deceased Quincy veterans’ home resident (DIERSEN: Just kidding, but if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents would run ads featuring people who would say how great TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, Association of Government Accountants, and other organizations were BEFORE I JOINED THEM and THAT I BROUGHT THOSE ORGANIZATIONS DOWN.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Illinois (Republican-held. Previous ranking 2): Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) is the most vulnerable governor this cycle. 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. Pritzker, another billionaire, looks like he’ll cruise to victory.)

My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, and coworkers did everything that could to destroy me. They stressed that GAO had forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer. They stressed that 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. They stressed that my Democrat Post Office superiors had forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. They demonized, denigrated, and condemned as being completely worthless a) the experience that I had gained working 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, b) what I had learned earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, c) what I had learned passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc. They stressed that I was a Republican, that I was conservative, that I was 100% German national origin, that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, that I had been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I had avoided the draft, that I had owned a 1972 Corvette since 1971, and that my wife owned a home in Wheaton.

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.)

DAILY CALLER
— JUDGE KAVANAUGH STILL HAS HIS SOCIAL CALENDAR FROM 1982 – Virginia Kruta (DIERSEN: What was on your social calendar when you were 17? My social calendar was virtually empty. I worked as a part-time dishwasher for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint with the money that I had earned and saved washing dishes. I graduated from Crete-Monee High School. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. Nevertheless, I got accepted by UIC. During the summer of 1966, I worked as a golf shoe cleaner for the Flossmoor Country Club, as a slag chipper for Thrall Car in Chicago Heights, and as a gasoline pumper for John’s Sinclair in South Chicago Heights. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I saved money for college expenses. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)
