— LGBTQ Pride flags vandalized in possible hate crime at Wicker Park church – MORGAN GREENE (DIERSEN: To what extent does your church promote LGBTQ activity? Does your church accept those like me who do not promote LGBTQ activity? My critics/opponents in Wheaton who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout hint/imply/argue/shout that they determine who churches in Wheaton a) accept and b) do not accept.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a letter posted to the church’s website, Glombicki addressed the congregation and said the church was “working hard to ensure the safety of all people at WPLC including our queer siblings.” “As a congregation, our work continues,” Glombicki said in the letter. “While preaching the love of all people each week might seem a bore, while it may seem like the city is welcoming to all sexual orientations and gender identities, and while it seems like something like this would never happen in Wicker Park, our message of radical welcome declaring this congregation ‘Reconciling in Christ’ in 2006 still needs amplification in the here and now.” Wicker Park Lutheran Church has a longstanding history of welcoming all to worship, affirming since 2006 that all people, of all sexual orientations and gender identities, are welcome to become members of the church. “We believe as people of faith that it’s about love — not just tolerance but acceptance and inclusion,” Glombicki said Tuesday night. “We continue to live out and widen those circles of love in all that we do here.” At this Sunday’s 10 a.m. service, hundreds of small rainbow flags will be placed in the lawn area near the flags “as a sign of love.” “As a congregation, each year we celebrate the diversity that God has created,” Glombicki said. This Sunday will be about remembering the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and celebrating more than a decade spent as a church embracing people from all backgrounds: “We know that love is the final word and we will continue to make that the final word as we live out our ministry here.”)

— Toni Preckwinkle reverses decision to retire — aide says she will seek fourth term in 2022 – Rachel Hinton (DIERSEN: If you are retired, what if you had reversed your decision to retire? In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors made it extremely clear to me that if I did not take their early retirement “offer,” they would do whatever they felt was necessary to get rid of me long before I would be eligible for regular retirement 6 years later. Previously, they a) had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals; b) had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes; c) had not promoted me beyond GS-13; d) had gotten rid of my mentor in 1987 who had promoted me in 1986, who had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and who hired me in 1980; e) had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO; and f) had forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Lake Bluff, village board members were scheduled to address a resolution in late June that would prohibit businesses wanting to offer recreational marijuana products from starting up in the village until officials can craft and agree on appropriate regulations, village officials said recently. Lake Forest officials, meanwhile, are planning to host an upcoming workshop, where, they said, they plan to address different issues related to recreational marijuana use. As part of the resolution in Lake Bluff, village board members would direct the Lake Bluff Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals to make recommendations to the board regarding possible regulations affecting recreational cannabis businesses. “State law requires that we allow medical cannabis facilities, but we have the power to ban recreational cannabis facilities,” said Glen Cole, assistant to the village administrator in Lake Bluff. Medical marijuana dispensaries already are permitted to operate in certain portions of the village once a special-use permit is granted, Cole said. During a meeting in early June, Village President Kathy O’Hara said officials plan to consult with village attorneys as they go about developing regulations and weigh the ramifications of legalized recreational marijuana use in Illinois. “We are going to push the pause button,” O’Hara said. “I am going to be bringing back to the board for discussion what best fits our community and where we want to go with this.” The upcoming workshop in Lake Forest also should allow city officials the opportunity to weigh the possible effects of legalized marijuana use in the community, said City Manager Jason Wicha. “We’ll see some policy direction from the city council on how they want to proceed,” Wicha said of the meeting. Wicha said Lake Forest staff members still are reviewing the specifics of the bill that awaits Pritzker’s signature, but he said the city believes provisions are in the bill that could prevent marijuana dispensaries from coming to Lake Forest. “I know that is something that the council is going to want to look at,” he said.)

— OUTSTANDING: Towns should send a message on marijuana – Bill Deckard, Winfield
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190624/towns-should-send-a-message-on-marijuana
(FROM THE LETTER: So, recreational marijuana will soon be legal in Illinois. But as the Daily Herald helpfully reminds us in their lead article on June 17 and in their editorial on June 19, there’s nothing to stop local cities, towns or villages from outlawing the sale of marijuana within their own city limits. Communities have done just that with things like video gambling and various “adult” businesses, so why not add marijuana to the list? Wouldn’t it be great if a significant number of Illinois communities chose not to profit from this deadly trade? If you are a city council member and have opposed the legalization of marijuana, why not do the courageous thing and vote against allowing its sale in your jurisdiction? As for the rest of us, let’s let our city officials know where we stand. One of the worst things about legalizing marijuana is the message it sends to young people, that getting high is no big deal. Keeping it off the store shelves in your municipality may mean foregoing a few tax dollars, but it will get the message to your children that smoking dope is not a good thing.)

— Wait, Where Did Our New Hire Go? An abrupt change of heart after saying yes to a job can have career repercussions years later—here’s how to navigate this delicate decision – Sue Shellenbarger (DIERSEN: How many job offers did you have when you earned your bachelor’s degree? I accepted the only job offer that I got, it was from Firestone’s regional office: Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. Employers were discouraged from offering me a job because I was draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. My Firestone job did not really require a college degree. The store manager disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; and cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966. What work experience did you gain while you attended college? I delivered mail 1966-1969 and worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Get work experience in high school (and college, if you go). Ironically, the most important first step may have nothing to college. The best way to build work skills is to work. The best way to find out what kind of work you like (and hate) is to work. The best way to inform your postsecondary choices is to work. Get whatever work experiences you can—site visits, job shadows, client-related projects, internships and summer jobs. Try to get paid where you can—you’ll need the money. A growing number of high schools are using the Imblaze app from Big Picture to manage student internships. Over 14 million college students use the Handshake network to find internships (and then jobs) with more than 800 corporate partners.)

— Black leaders welcome renewed focus on race — stumbles and all – Annie Linskey (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, since the Civil War, Democrats shout at Blacks a) that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things and b) that Republicans have caused, are causing, and will forever cause all the problems that Blacks have had, are having, and will have and especially Republicans who are Protestant, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I worked for Blacks, worked with Blacks, and/or supervised many Blacks. I should write a book about the successes and failures that my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government had in turning my Black superiors, Black supervisors, Black coworkers, and Black subordinates against me.)

DAILY HERALD
— Legalized marijuana and the workplace – Marcy Traxler (DIERSEN: The more pot that you use, the more impaired that you are. The more booze that you drink, the more impaired that you are. Pot impairs you far longer than booze. Employers should not tolerate any kind of impairment.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190620/legalized-marijuana-and-the-workplace
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Used versus impaired So how will this impact a business and how it approaches policy? Illinois statute prohibits discrimination against employees for testing positive for marijuana. The upshot is employers cannot rescind a job offer or terminate an employee for a positive drug test. How will this impact employers that want to hire or fire at will? For employers, a key issue involving marijuana is not legalization, but workplace safety. The takeaway is that it is more important than ever to make the distinction between an employee having used marijuana versus the employee being impaired on the job. Having come from an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) background, I think the most progressive companies have addressed this very issue and developed Drug Free Work Place and Safety Program policies to include training for supervisors to observe and document employees that have unsafe practices or exhibit behaviors and signs of drug use.)

— Bill Resurfaces to Expedite Process of Firing Federal Employees – Ian Smith (DIERSEN: Constructively, to force a federal employee to take early retirement or to resign is to fire that employee. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. My Democrat GAO and IRS superiors forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 when I was 20. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use the aforesaid to hint/imply/argue/shout that given all the work experience, education, professional certifications, and the professional license that I have, I must have been far worse than an “underperforming federal employee,” I must have been a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Needless-to-say, I should sue my critics/opponents, sue their operatives, and sue their dupes.) 
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/06/20/bill-resurfaces-expedite-process-firing-federal-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Government employees should be held to the same standards as private sector employees, yet it is nearly impossible to fire bureaucrats for failing to do their jobs,” said Senator Perdue. “Right now, it can take more than a year to fire or replace a civil service employee, even for poor performance or misconduct. With a $22 trillion debt crisis, we cannot afford to hold onto bureaucrats who aren’t doing their jobs. Since President Trump took office, more than 4,300 bad actors have been fired, demoted, or suspended at the VA. It’s time to expand those efforts and address problems across the entire federal government.” Congressman Loudermilk added, “Working for the United States federal government is an honor and privilege, and most federal employees cherish this opportunity and desire to serve the American people. Unfortunately, many underperforming federal employees feel entitled to their positions and treat them as their right. The solution to this issue is the MERIT Act. I thank my friend and colleague, Senator Perdue, for leading the charge on this important reform.” It was last introduced in 2018 in both the House and Senate but ultimately failed to advance.)

SPUTNIK NEWS
— Trump Pentagon Nominee a Return to Someone With ‘Limited Military Experience’ (DIERSEN: How much military experience do you have? I have none, but by the end of 1988, I had 3 years experience auditing IRS and almost 9 years experience working for IRS. At the start of 1989, a) to retaliate against me for my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) to punish me for my avoiding the draft, and c) to punish my wife and I for giving up trying to have children, not adopting, and not becoming foster parents, my Democrat GAO superiors abruptly and rudely threw me off audits of IRS and assigned me to an audit of the Department of Defense 1990 ammunition budget request in Rock Island. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/assets/150/148194.pdf Instead of me, my GAO superiors should have assigned one of my many coworkers who had military experience and wanted the assignment. They painted me as having an unfair advantage to work on audits of IRS because I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years. Overwhelmingly, my GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had very little or no prior work experience when GAO hired them.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— U.S. Rep. Sean Casten backs Trump impeachment inquiry, sparking campaign issue in once strongly Republican district – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-sean-casten-donald-trump-impeachment-20190620-cle5i6byj5cjlkxb3pegoc3tpu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Casten was one of two Democrats to flip traditionally Republican seats in 2018, defeating six-term Republican U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam of Wheaton 54 percent to 46 percent, a margin of 22,556 votes out of more than 315,000 ballots cast in the 6th Congressional District. The district includes what once was the heart of suburban Republicanism. But GOP support in DuPage County has been gradually eroding — in 2016 a majority of DuPage voters backed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president, and in 2018 they supported Democrat J.B. Pritzker for governor. Casten becomes the third House Democrat from a competitive district to back an impeachment inquiry in recent days, joining U.S. Reps. Katie Porter of California and Tom Malinowski of New Jersey. They are among 44 legislators the DCCC says represent districts that are key to maintaining a House majority in 2020. U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood of Naperville, the other Democrat who flipped an Illinois suburban seat in 2018 by defeating Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren of Plano, has supported the House leadership efforts to further investigations into Trump in lieu of opening impeachment proceedings.)

BUZZ FEED NEWS
— These Women Are Only On Facebook For The Groups – Anne Helen Petersen (DIERSEN: Are you a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? Do the Democrats in your precinct have a secret Facebook group? If so, what do they post about you in that group? What if what they post is defamatory or libelous?) 
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/facebook-private-groups-online-abuse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, groups can be public (anyone can join at any time); private (you can request to join, but must be admitted by a moderator); and “secret” — the type you can only find if someone in the group invites you. . .Another described a secret group of people who live in deep “red” areas of the country and struggled with their communities and families after the 2016 election. “It’s been the only thing keeping me sane,” the member told me, “and definitely one of the main reasons I haven’t left FB.” . . . Keeping a group secret is the most efficient way to keep a group “in line,” whatever that might mean for a particular set of people. . . The “best” groups are the smallest and most secret because they’re cloaked from both the online and offline world — places where both myself and so many of the women I spoke to for this article feel invisible, unvalued, or objectified. The right group can provide the opposite of all that: a place where your voice feels visible, your opinion is valued, and your body is secondary — or discussed on your own terms.)

— Low-wage workers can’t afford two-bedroom rentals anywhere in Illinois, report says More than half of Chicago renters severely burdened by the cost of housing – Sara Freund 
https://chicago.curbed.com/2019/6/18/18683776/chicago-illinois-affordable-housing-rent-burden
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average cost of utilities and rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Illinois is $1,084 per month (this number comes from HUD’s fair market rent figures). In order to afford that without rent burden would require earning at least $20.85 per hour (about $43,366 annually, assuming a 40-hour work week). In Illinois the minimum wage is set at $8.25, and at that rate workers would need to put in 101 hours per week to afford a two-bedroom. About 34 percent of people in the state rent and those that do have an average wage of $17.34 per hour.)
