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.”)

— The fight against financial advertisers using Facebook for digital redlining – John Detrixhe & Jeremy B. Merrill
https://qz.com/1733345/the-fight-against-discriminatory-financial-ads-on-facebook/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even if there’s no intention to discriminate, financial ads are different from other kinds of advertising because they represent a chance to prosper and participate in society. That’s why an algorithm that systematically excludes protected categories like age and race from seeing credit ads could be unlawful under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). “We know from research that Lookalike Audiences can reproduce those protected characteristics, including gender and age and ethnicity in the new audience they create,” said Aaron Rieke, managing director of Upturn, a nonprofit research group, and a former attorney at the Federal Trade Commission.)

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.)

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.)

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes? It says that they promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. It says that they have an extremely low opinion of federal employees, and therefore, an extremely low opinion of federal retirees.)

— Warren Would Ban Large Corporations From Hiring Ex-Government Officials For Four Years – Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou (DIERSEN: I should write a book about why I got no job offers after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years. By forcing me to retire, they shouted that what I had learned doing the following was worthless: a) auditing federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997 at the GS-13 Step 3-10 levels, currently $104,744-$127,654, b) auditing IRS 1986-1988 at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $98,198-$104,744, c) auditing other federal agencies in 1989 and 1980-1985, d) working for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592, e) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

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.)

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.)

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.)

I am qualified to write books on the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Illinois Republican Party (IRP), Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, GAO, and IRS. I have been a member of the MTRCC, DCRCC, and IRP for almost 20 years. I have lived in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County for more than 41 years.

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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In March 2016, then-candidate Trump was virtually run out of Chi-Town in the wake of a highly touted campaign event. Trump was set to appear before 10,000-strong at a “Make America Great Again” rally at the UIC Pavilion on the near West Side. Inside, the stadium was packed with rowdy masses of supporters inside. Uber-angry masses of protestors marched outside to decry what they viewed as a racist, xenophobic and misogynist campaign.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Former White House chief of staff John Kelly says he warned Trump on impeachment – AP (DIERSEN: No one has ever accused me of being a yes-man. If I had been a yes-man, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. Yes-men help the federal government get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make 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.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-bc-us–trump-kelly-20191027-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump ‘s former chief of staff, John Kelly , says he advised the president not to fill the job with someone who wouldn’t be honest with him and provide a check on his impulses because he would end up being impeached. “That was almost 11 months ago, and I have an awful lot of, to say the least, second thoughts about leaving,” Kelly told the Washington Examiner. “It pains me to see what’s going on because I believe if I was still there or someone like me was there, he would not be kind of, all over the place.” “I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘yes man,’ someone who won’t tell you the truth — don’t do that. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached,” Kelly recalled in an interview at the Sea Island Summit, a political conference hosted by the Examiner. Kelly said he does not believe the president would be in his current predicament if he had stayed as chief of staff. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement of her own Saturday: “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President.” Trump pushed back on Kelly’s comments in a statement: “John Kelly never said that, he never said anything like that. If he would have said that, I would have thrown him out of the office. He just wants to come back into the action like everybody else does.”)

http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/173406
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In August 2019, the Economic Policy Institute reported that, in 2018, the average pay of CEOs at America’s 350 top firms hit $17.2 million―an increase, when adjusted for inflation, of 1,007.5 percent since 1978. By contrast, the typical worker’s wage, adjusted for inflation, grew by only 11.9 percent over this 40-year period. In 1965, the ratio of CEO-to-worker’s pay stood at 20-to-1; by 2018 (when CEOs received another hefty pay raise and workers received a 0.2 percent pay cut), it had reached 278-to-1. An AFL-CIO study, released in June 2019, had similar findings. Examining compensation at Standard & Poors 500 companies, the labor federation reported that average CEO pay in 2018 had increased by $5.2 million over the preceding 10 years. This resulted in an average CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 287-to-1. These figures, of course, are only averages, and at numerous major corporations, the economic gap between boss and worker is much greater. According to the AFL-CIO, the CEO-to-worker pay ratio at Walmart (America’s largest private employer) is 1,076 to 1, at Walt Disney Company 1,424-to-1, at McDonald’s 2,124-to-1, and at Gap 3,566-to-1. At 49 S&P 500 firms, noted an Institute for Policy Studies report, half the work force―that is, 3.7 million employees―received wages below the official U.S. poverty line for a family of four.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191021/dupage-county-poised-to-vote-on-recreational-pot-sales-in-unincorporated-areas
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Larsen said he would be “shocked” if the board rejects the 3% tax on sales in municipalities. “I would expect everyone to support that,” he said. “We might as well get the revenue from it if we’re going to be dealing with the consequences of it.” Larsen said DuPage is expected to have increased law enforcement costs and other expenses as a result of the state legalizing recreational marijuana. “This is the only place we can get revenue to help deal with those costs,” he said. Last month, State’s Attorney Robert Berlin talked about issues other states faced after legalizing marijuana. He pointed to statistics showing Colorado experienced increases in property crime and violent crime. There also was an increase in the number of traffic fatalities with drivers testing positive for marijuana. County health department officials, meanwhile, said the availability of recreational marijuana is expected to increase use among adults and youths and hurt the health of residents. As a result, they are anticipating increased demand for public health services in DuPage.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— Why Your Company Needs to Implement Pay Equity Audits Now – Robert Sheen (DIERSEN: If a pay equity audit of the federal government was done, it would show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS, including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing, and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS, the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Terminating Employees Deemed “Poor Performers” First off, there is a smaller timeframe in which to improve poor performance. The executive order to streamline removal procedures for federal employees decreases the amount of time that employees are subject to Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs)—that provide employees a chance to improve their job performance following a poor evaluation or reprimand—to 30 days, government-wide. That window previously lasted between 60 and 120 days and was up to agency discretion as to the length of the PIP and/or extensions of the PIP. Federal employees should be aware of additional provisions in the executive order, which direct that:)
