http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2016/09/12/league-of-women-voters-groups-join-forces-to-press-candidates-into-forum-participation/a55kmcv/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: League of Women Voters of Wheaton voter service Chairwoman Shannon Burns, who served on the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County Board of Commissioners, said these forums are one of the few times candidates can stand in front of the public and sell their message. “When an elected person doesn’t show up, it effectively takes away the opportunity for their opponent to stand next to them and either show well or show badly next to the currently elected person,” she said. “America was built on the notion of choice and voting for a candidate you like or want or think would be best.”)

FED WEEK
— Nearly a Third of Federal Employees Already Are Retirement-Eligible  (DIERSEN: I would have eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003, but my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997.)
http://www.fedweek.com/federal-managers-daily-report/nearly-third-federal-employees-already-retirement-eligible/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thirty-one percent of federal employees already are retirement-eligible, according to newly released data from OPM, underscoring the potential for significant loss of expertise and the need for hiring to replace departing employees in the time ahead. While long-standing warnings of a “retirement wave” have proven to be overstated, in terms of a potential rush of employees to the exit doors all at once, the figures re-emphasize that the government is top-heavy in terms of its age profile and can expect a substantial flow of retirements continuing in the years ahead. Nearly twice as many employees, 13 percent, are age 60 or older than are under age 30, 7 percent. Thirty-two percent are between age 50 and 59, 26 percent between 40 and 49, and 22 percent between 30 and 39. The figures, released in conjunction with preliminary results of this year’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, are for non-postal, full-time, permanent, non-seasonal executive branch employees. According to a separate OPM report, the average age at retirement is 61.5 under CSRS and 60.8 under FERS.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Sandack resigned after explicit video sent to others
http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago/report-sandack-resigned-after-explicit-video-sent-to-others/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Republican state Rep. Ron Sandack, once a top ally of Gov. Bruce Rauner, resigned from the Illinois Legislature after several people viewed a sexually graphic video featuring the former lawmaker that was temporarily posted to Facebook, Politico is reporting. Politico, citing anonymous sources, reports that the “encounter” with the woman was recorded and posted to Sandack’s social media accounts with several of his contacts tagged in the video. Sandack previously has said he was extorted via Facebook and Skype by a woman who lured him “to engage in inappropriate online conversations.” Once Republicans learned of the video and its surfacing, a top state operative urged Sandack to resign, Politico reports. Sandack issued a statement to Politico denying he was asked to resign but didn’t address questions about the existence of the video or whether it was distributed to others. Reached Friday morning, a Sandack spokesman told the Chicago Sun-Times that Sandack would have no further comment. Last week, Sandack said he was extorted by a woman who lured him “to engage in inappropriate online conversations.” His admission came after Downers Grove police released new details about the bizarre episode in 34 pages of reports that conclude they can’t seek criminal charges in the case because the apparent perpetrator or perpetrators live in the Philippines. The police reports — much of them redacted — paint a picture of a middle-aged man sucked into a scheme that began with him communicating with a young woman online and ended with him feeling compelled to send her money and seeing a fake Facebook account set up in his name. The Sun-Times and other news outlets have asked the Illinois attorney general’s office to review whether those redactions are legal under the state’s Freedom of Information Act. The attorney general’s office is reviewing those requests. Whether the fake Facebook account contained potentially embarrassing information is unclear. Large portions of the police documents remain redacted. Sandack wired money to the Philippines because he felt threatened, according to police, who classified the case as “extortion.” In his statement last week, Sandack — who became Rauner’s most vocal ally in the Illinois House — said the woman lured him in. “This past July, I was the target of an international crime ring focusing on high-profile individuals luring them to engage in inappropriate online conversations with the intent of extortion,” Sandack said then. “I took their bait and fell for it hook, line and sinker. “Poor decisions on my part enabled me to be a victim and, as a responsible citizen, I reported it and have been working with the police.” Sandack, 52, who as a state lawmaker was very active on social media, abruptly resigned from the Legislature on July 24. He is a former Downers Grove mayor.)

http://www.politico.com/states/illinois/story/2016/09/how-a-compromising-video-led-to-the-downfall-of-a-gop-rising-star-105736
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to sources who spoke to POLITICO on the condition of anonymity, when Republicans learned that a video had surfaced, a top state operative urged Sandack to resign. The series of events threatened to become a political nightmare for Republicans, who are desperately trying to gain seats in November in a Legislature where the party remains a super-minority. The potential for political exposure was especially true for Rauner, who had repeatedly tapped the vocal Sandack as a surrogate in public battles on and off the House floor. Sandack initially rejected the idea of an outright resignation, two Republican sources said. He felt strongly about his public career, and while he admitted he messed up he was also a victim of a crime. In a statement to POLITICO, Sandack adamantly disputed the idea that anyone else urged him to step down. “The information that Politico has is unequivocally false as No one suggested that I resign, much less pressured me to do so, it was solely my decision,” Sandack said in a statement relayed by an associate.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— JPMorgan May Face New Scrutiny in China Hiring Case – BEN PROTESS and ALEXANDRA STEVENSONS  (DIERSEN: How much clout do/did your parents have in getting you a job, getting you promoted, etc.?  My outstanding father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 45 and I was 21.  He had fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, never attended college, worked in the office of a chemical plant, and almost always worked second jobs (playing music, delivering eggs, fast food worker, etc.) to pay the family’s bills.  My outstanding mother never attended high school.)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/23/business/dealbook/jp-morgan-may-face-new-scrutiny-in-china-hiring-case.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Fed and O.C.C. investigations stem from the bank’s efforts to hire the children of China’s ruling elite — and in some cases link those jobs or internships to securing business with Chinese government-run companies. But unlike the S.E.C. and federal prosecutors, the banking regulators are not focused on the bribery aspect of the case, but rather a breakdown in controls and practices that allowed the improper hiring to take place.)

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
http://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/legal-discrimination.html/?a=viewall
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Political activity and beliefs  You might want to think twice before you tell everyone at work what you really think of Donald Trump. “[M]ost employees in America working for private employers do not have any legal protection against discrimination on the basis of political affiliation or activity,” Workplace Fairness explained. In the majority of states (California and New York are the big exceptions), companies are free to hire and fire people because of their political activities. Employers are allowed to encourage employees to vote a certain way, may prohibit them from wearing or displaying political paraphernalia in the office, and can even fire you for blogging about political matters on your own time.)

Everyone involved in government, in politics, in journalism, in etc. should be required to publish on their website the amounts and sources of their income.  What are the amounts and sources of your income?  I get $50,720/year from the Civil Service Retirement System and $2,015/year from Social Security. In addition, I get a $16,854/year federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the head of production and development for Austin, Texas-based Emergent Order, which is doing the project for the policy institute, told me this week that the person who interviewed Miller could not have told him of the policy institute’s involvement because that contractor was not told who was providing the funding. “I was not at the interview, but I sent out a producer who was one of our contractors,” said TERYN FOGEL, the Emergent Order production head. “The contractor didn’t know who was funding it except that they were hired through me. … A lot of times subcontractors don’t know who’s doing financing … because we do not want to sway anybody’s interviews in any direction.”)

ROBERT FEDER
— Tribune pulls Pioneer Press reporter off Evanston beat  (DIERSEN: What adverse actions have your employers taken against you?  Adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me include forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, not promoting me beyond GS-13, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. Adverse actions that my Democrat IRS superiors took against me include not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims  Adverse actions that my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me include forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests.)
http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/09/20/tronc-pulls-pioneer-press-reporter-off-evanston-beat/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A veteran reporter for the Evanston Review is being shipped out to the west suburbs in retaliation for withholding his byline from a story, according to the Chicago News Guild. Bob Seidenberg, an award-winning writer who has covered the north suburb for nearly 30 years, was reassigned to Franklin Park and other west suburbs about a week after he removed his name from a story that he said had been rewritten inaccurately by an editor. The Evanston Review long has been the crown jewel of Pioneer Press, the suburban newspaper chain recently acquired by Tribune Publishing, the company now known as tronc. Pioneer reporters, who are represented by the Chicago News Guild, have a contractual right to withhold their names from their work. “Seidenberg’s pending removal is just the latest in a series of warnings, threats and accusations by [Pioneer editor John] Puterbaugh and other managers against Pioneer Press reporters on almost a weekly basis since Tribune (now tronc) took over the 32-newspaper chain last year,” a story posted on the union’s website reported Tuesday. According to the union, Seidenberg was told that he was being reassigned “for business reasons” despite arguing that “his experience, his resources and his understanding of Evanston would benefit the Tribune if he stayed in Evanston.” “We believe this was a retaliation for withholding his byline,” Craig Rosenbaum, executive director of the Chicago News Guild, was quoted as saying. “Bob is being punished for exercising a contractual right. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he asked for his byline to be held just before this. Removing Bob from Evanston will be a loss to Evanston. They’re depriving the community of a reporter with years of experience who has a wealth of sources and contacts.” Dana Meyer, a spokesperson for the Chicago Tribune, released a statement denying any retaliation. “The company respects the collective agreement with Pioneer Press and has worked within the terms and conditions of that agreement,” the statement said. “There have been incidents where a reporter has asked to have their name removed and we consistently accommodate those requests. The agreement specifically identifies rules for transferring an employee and we adhere to these rules. This was not retaliation. We simply had a need for a veteran Pioneer reporter on a strong digital beat that had gone vacant. Evanston is a vital town for us and will continue to be very well covered.”)

AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE
— Why Socialism Is Still Popular  Evolutionary psychology may explain it. – JON BASIL UTLEY (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes are consumed with envy.  I should write a book about them.)
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/why-socialism-is-still-popular/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I always used to think that socialism’s appeal mainly came from envy, which was innate to human character. There’s a classic book titled Envy, by Helmut Schoeck, that explains the extraordinary progress of Western civilization as coming from our religions, Christianity and Judaism before it. It notes that two of the Ten Commandments strongly condemned envy—that subordinating it was vital for a society to progress. But envy is still innate. Remember the old story of a poor Russian peasant, whose neighbor finally owns a cow. The peasant becomes consumed with envy and cries out to God for relief. When God answers him to make a wish come true, he prays, “God, make my neighbor’s cow sicken and die.” New knowledge of human nature delves much deeper, however.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— The First Fight Donald Trump Should Pick As President, According To Newt Gingrich  Gingrich encouraged the nominee to go after federal job protections and instigate “the absolute showdown.” – Dave Jamieson  (DIERSEN: Before they go any further on this issue, Gingrich and Trump should read every word in every document filed in Diersen v. GAO (https://gopillinois.com/diersen-v-gao-fifth-amended-complaint/)  The Democrats who ran GAO during the 1990s used Gingrich’s dramatic budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/president-trump-federal-employees_us_57e2dee9e4b08d73b82f2fd7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This week, The New Yorker published a report hypothesizing what President Donald Trump’s first term in office might look like. Evan Osnos interviewed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who’s been advising the candidate on policy matters, about what to expect if Trump actually takes the White House. Gingrich told Osnos that he’s encouraged Trump to start a war over job security for federal employees. Conservatives have long bemoaned how difficult it can be to fire government workers. According to The New Yorker, Gingrich seems convinced that attacking job protections for civil servants would be a worthwhile opening battle, both as policy and as politics. Per Osnos: Gingrich told me that he is urging Trump to give priority to an obscure but contentious conservative issue—ending lifetime tenure for federal employees. This would also galvanize Republicans and help mend rifts in the Party after a bitter election. “Getting permission to fire corrupt, incompetent, and dishonest workers—that’s the absolute showdown,” Gingrich said. He assumes that federal employees’ unions would resist, thus producing, in his words, an “ongoing war” similar to the conflict that engulfed Madison, Wisconsin, in 2011, when Governor Scott Walker moved to limit public-sector employees’ collective-bargaining rights. Gingrich predicted that federal employee unions would become “unglued” in such a war. For a reality TV celebrity whose fame grew out of firing people, this would seem like a logical fight to pick after settling into the West Wing. Trump, however, doesn’t appear to have discussed this particular issue on the trail, and his official website makes no reference to it. A campaign spokesperson didn’t respond to an email asking if Trump would seek to roll back job protections for federal employees. A representative for Gingrich didn’t respond to an interview request on the subject, either. Job security is one of the main benefits to a federal job, and Gingrich is correct that federal employee unions would fight bitterly to maintain it. But contrary to what Gingrich suggests, it is possible to fire federal employees when they misbehave or don’t do their jobs. It just isn’t as easy as firing a private-sector worker. The law gives federal workers certain protections, including due process when the boss wants to can them and the chance to turn around their work if they’re underperforming. They’re given those rights, in part, to protect against politically motivated firings. Typically, a fraction of a percent of the federal workforce gets fired each year. Tony Reardon, the president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 federal workers across 30 agencies, noted in an email to HuffPost that federal employees can be fired for cause. That they can’t, he said, “is a false statement repeated to gain easy political points.” NTEU endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, as did the American Federation of Government Employees, the other large federal employee union. “While it is not clear that Congressman Gingrich and Mr. Trump are trying to find a way to fire those they simply don’t like, it would behoove them to become educated on the basics of civil service law,” Reardon said. “Federal employees give much to this country and deserve at least candidates and advisors who understand a little bit about how their employment works.”)

Mr. Felker is on unpaid leave and his access to campus has been revoked,” Ryken said. Judge Richard Russo ordered Felker held on a $250,000 bond in court Wednesday. “The charges against Mr. Felker are absolutely disgusting and will be met with the full force of the law,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in the statement. “I would like to clarify that these charges are in no way connected with Mr. Felker’s association with Wheaton College. Authorities at the college have been extremely cooperative and helpful and for that I thank them,” Berlin said.)

Smith  (DIERSEN: Are/were you accused of being overpaid?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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 33.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/09/21/average-total-federal-employee-compensation-123160/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We Are Not Burger Flippers  One argument used in justifying higher federal employee compensation packages is Comments (218) left by a reader using the name “Common Sense”: “These ‘studies’ are so bogus. Question: how many burger flipper (sic) work for the government?” In other words, the federal government has better educated and more specialized employee skills than private sector companies. Among the 21 major industries in the U.S., the federal employees are among the highest paid. Employees in utilities, mining, and management of companies are ahead of the federal workforce. The other sectors are compensated less. The latest BEA data indicate federal compensation is higher, on average, than compensation in the information industry, finance and insurance, and professional and scientific industries. Also, Edwards writes: [T]he federal workforce has always had a heavy contingent of skilled professionals, such as lawyers.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-illinois-unauthorized-immigration-decline-met-20160920-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number of unauthorized immigrants residing in Illinois dropped by 10 percent, or 50,000 people, between 2009 and 2014 — something experts say has been key to Chicago’s recent population loss. “So much of the population growth in this region was based on legal and undocumented immigration. This closes the plug on the growth we’ve had,” said Rob Paral, a Chicago-based demographer who advises nonprofits and community groups. “Undocumented immigrants were a substantial piece of the picture, and that era is behind us.” In 2014, about 450,000 unauthorized immigrants lived in Illinois, compared with about 500,000 in 2009, according to a study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center. While most states saw no significant change in their unauthorized immigrant populations during the five-year period, Illinois is among seven states that saw their populations decline, primarily due to a drop in the number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico. The population of unauthorized Mexican immigrants has declined nationwide as well because of the sluggish U.S. economic recovery and stricter border enforcement. But the country’s overall count of unauthorized immigrants remained stable through 2014 due to a spike in unauthorized immigrants from Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, according to the report, which bases its findings on data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.)

In my defense, not that I need to defend myself, unlike many if not most of my worthless critics/opponents, and unlike virtually all their worthless operatives and worthless dupes, I am financially secure.  I can afford to spend the thousands of dollars and thousands of hours each year necessary to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.  I do not want anyone to call my tunes.  I am fortunate enough that I do not have ask anyone for money.  As everyone including Rich Miller knows, GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000/year.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160920/NEWS06/160929982
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Sun-Times Media suburban reporters who began working out of cars and coffee shops in 2012 after their offices closed now have a chance to improve their lot at Tronc. They became part of Tronc in 2014 after its predecessor, Tribune Publishing, bought the suburban dailies and weeklies from the Sun-Times’ parent, Wrapports. Now, negotiations on a new contract for the 30 editorial employees represented by the Chicago News Guild are scheduled to start next week. It will be the first contract negotiated for the workers since they shifted from Chicago’s no. 2 newspaper operation to the city’s biggest. Tension is already building in advance of the expiration of the current contract at the end of the year. The union today posted a lengthy report of one Evanston Review reporter’s travails with management, and an unfair labor practice charge that was filed by the union last month with the National Labor Relations Board on his behalf. The union alleges the reporter was transferred from one suburban paper to another as retaliation for his complaining about a news story and exercising his contractual right to withhold his byline from the piece. “Within days of him asking to withhold his byline, he was transferred,” says Craig Rosenbaum, who is executive director of the union. Tronc spokeswoman Dana Meyer said it was not retaliation. “The company respects the collective agreement with Pioneer Press and has worked within the terms and conditions of that agreement,” she said in a statement. “There have been incidents where a reporter has asked to have their name removed and we consistently accommodate those requests. The agreement specifically identifies rules for transferring an employee and we adhere to these rules.”)

They talk and act like they determine who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.  They hint/imply/argue/shout that they might let you go to heaven a) if you serve a one of their operatives or as one of their dupes and/or b) if you give them lots of money.  Needless-to-say, they give religion an extremely bad name.)

I don’t know all the facts on that,” Rauner told reporters after talking up the state’s advances in technology. Rauner was a lot more glowing when discussing the recent departure of another ally, state Sen. Matt Murphy, who joined a public affairs firm.)

— George H.W. Bush for Hillary? A spokesman isn’t saying  Kennedy family member says he told her he was for Hillary – Jeff Zeleny and Daniella Diaz  (DIERSEN: To vote for Hillary is to shout that you are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)

They liken me to those who are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/33134345/donald-trump-jr-likens-syrian-refugees-to-poisoned-skittles
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump Jr. has posted a message on Twitter likening Syrian refugees to a bowl of poisoned Skittles. Seeking to promote his father’s presidential campaign, the younger Trump posted a tweet featuring a bowl of the candy Skittles with a warning. “If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful?” said the tweet on the verified @DonaldTrumpJr handle. “That’s our Syrian refugee problem,” said the post, which caused a stir and negative tweets on the internet into Tuesday. Young Trump’s tweet said, “This image says it all. Let’s end the politically correct agenda that doesn’t put America first.” His father has advocated sharply restraining immigration and has accused opponent Hillary Clinton of advocating acceptance of tens of thousands of refugees.)

Tammy Duckworth appeared with fellow Democrats on Monday to advocate for long-sought changes to immigration laws, casting the November election as crucial to the cause while blasting opponents as “bigots and racists and fear-mongerers.” . . . Despite a recent firestorm over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment, in which she labeled Trump supporters “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic,” both Gutierrez and Duckworth employed similar language as they tried to gin up support for the Democratic ticket.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Rauner wants state jobs review, just not federal court’s – AP  (DIERSEN: Are/were you a patronage hire?  I was not. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20160919/rauner-wants-state-jobs-review-just-not-federal-courts
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner pledged Monday to continue rooting out improper patronage hiring at the same time his lawyers were attempting to block a federal court monitor’s expanded review of all state administration jobs. The Republican again trumpeted getting rid of the clout-packed “staff assistant” position at the Illinois Department of Transportation – the remaining 29 were fired last week – as a “small step in the right direction.” Yet, Rauner says a review of all state positions by a special master – appointed in 2014 to investigate the scandal, in which the staff assistant posts were improperly handed out as political favors – is premature, too costly and duplicative of the work it wants the Office of the Executive Inspector General to do. “We want to expand the work of the executive inspector general, continuing to look in every department for positions that should not be in existence and for the existence of people who were hired … for patronage or political reasons, not to provide high-quality government services,” he said. In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Rauner’s administration argues that the state has already paid $800,000 to the special master; expanding her workload would come at a much steeper cost. It also outlines a newly created Hiring and Employment Monitoring unit under the executive inspector general. Nonetheless, he told reporters Monday he has proposed a $600,000 expansion of that office. It hasn’t made headway because of the budget deadlock with Democrats who control the Legislature.)

http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/entertainment/emmy-winner-compares-monster-trump-to-hitler
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the big winners at the Emmys on Sunday night delivered some of the harshest criticism of Donald Trump offstage — comparing the Republican presidential nominee to Adolf Hitler and warning against what she said were efforts to “otherize” groups of people. Jill Soloway, creator of Amazon’s “Transparent” and winner in the comedy series directing category, spoke to “Variety” backstage during the awards show, where she lit into Trump. “Jews were other-ized in Nazi Germany to gain political power for Hitler, and right now Donald Trump is doing the same thing. He’s other-izing people. He calls women pigs if they don’t look like beauty pageant contestants. He blames Muslims and Mexicans for our problems. He makes fun of disabled people. This is other-izing with a capital ‘O,'” Soloway said. She continued, “It has been used in our history before to start and win wars. He needs to be called out at every chance he gets for being one of the most dangerous monsters to ever approach our lifetimes. He’s a complete dangerous monster, and at any moment that I have to call out Trump for being an inheritor to Hitler, I will.” CNN has reached out to Trump campaign for comment and not yet received a response. With the criticism, Soloway delivered one of the sharpest Trump condemnations at the awards show — but she was far from alone, as the program featured a series of actors, directors and producers who slammed the GOP nominee. “Transparent” lead actor Jeffrey Tambor, another winner who was backstage during the exchange, said he agreed, according to Variety. And he reportedly quoted the poet W.H. Auden, saying “Love one another or die.” David Mandel — the showrunner of HBO’s “Veep,” which also won multiple awards, and who was also present backstage — joked that his show, which satirizes politics, couldn’t keep up with Trump. “There are days when things we think of pale in comparison to that madman threatening Hillary Clinton, not once but twice,” Mandel said, according to “Variety.” “If I wrote that, I’d get fired by HBO. I find the level of discourse in this campaign horrific.” He added, “A lot of people don’t want to laugh about this stuff.”)

https://www.numbersusa.com/news/mcdonalds-replaces-70-americans-foreign-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: McDonalds has joined the growing national trend of outsourcing American jobs to cheaper, foreign workers. The McDonalds in Ohio fired 70 American accountants and replaced them foreign, H-1B workers. McDonald’s spokeswoman, Terri Hickey, admitted that this was a cost savings effort saying, “To deliver $500 million in savings, the vast majority by the end of 2017, we are restructuring many aspects of our business, including an accounting function.” While the tech industry has been hit the hardest by outsourcing jobs to foreign labor this move by McDonalds shows that more American companies are trying to outsource a variety of jobs. Companies such as Disney and Abbot Laboratories to used visas, like the H-1B visa, to import cheaper labor instead of hiring American workers. In some cases, the employees were forced to train their replacements in order to receive their severance pay. Steve Camarota, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies, says that this shows that white-collar outsourcing, “is not just a Silicon Valley thing anymore, it is happening all over”. A 2011 study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office exposed how the H-1B visa was being exploited and showed that there was very little oversight of the program. According to the report the government doesn’t even know how many workers are actually in the U.S. on H-1B visas at any given time.)

ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
— So, how do you like video gambling now? – Anita Bedell, Executive Director, Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems
http://www.rrstar.com/opinion/20160918/my-view-so-how-do-you-like-gambling-slots-now
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Video gambling has spread rapidly in just four years, with nearly 24,000 gambling machines now operating in more than 5,500 establishments. Rockford-area residents are losing more than $2 million a month in video gambling machines. Winnebago County ranks third in the state for the number of video gambling machines with 1,050 — more machines than five of Illinois’ casinos. The amount of money lost in the machines is staggering. Rockford ranks second in the state with losses of $77.5 million, and Loves Park is fourth with losses of $41 million. The total amount lost in video gambling machines in all of Winnebago County is almost $175 million. While municipalities get a nickel of every dollar lost in gambling machines, up to 60 percent of the money leaves the community. While legislators said they wanted to legalize the gambling machines that were already operating in many bars, clubs and restaurants, local officials issued many new liquor licenses, which qualified for video gambling. Video gambling parlors have expanded quickly throughout the state, and these neighborhood casinos have some of the largest monthly gambling losses. Located in strip malls near residential areas and grocery stores, these video gambling parlors are named after and target women. Coffee, soft drinks and snacks are free at some parlors, and coupons for free play abound. Video gambling machines are operating in bowling alleys, golf courses, laundromats, grocery stores, gas station convenience stores, wine and package liquor stores, a tobacco store, television repair shop, flower shop, pool supply shop, indoor amusement park and family fun center. A study of frequent video gambling players showed that the risk of frequent players reporting symptoms of problem and pathological gambling was elevated if they gambled weekly, spent $50 or more per session or played for more than an hour per session. The study, published in the Journal of Gambling Studies, found that video gambling was the most harmful form of gambling in Canada. People will gamble at casinos closest to home. Local residents who are “regulars” can gamble several times a day at one or more neighborhood casinos. When people gamble away all of their money, they borrow, steal and embezzle to keep gambling. It takes time for the problems of gambling to develop and come to light — addiction, lost work time, bankruptcy, child neglect, domestic violence, crime, embezzlement and suicide. One dad left his 3-year old son in the car while he gambled in a bar near a busy intersection at 11 p.m. He allegedly went inside to order food and played video gambling while he waited. A Tazewell County grand jury indicted a former employee of a residential facility accused of taking money from a disabled person to gamble. She also took two residents to a video gambling parlor. Burglaries of video gambling machines and ATM machines have occurred throughout the state, and video gambling establishments have been cited for underage alcohol sales. These are just a few of the crimes that have been documented during the past four years. Three casino companies have bought all or part ownership in video gambling companies that supply machines to local establishments. Why? Video gambling has fewer regulations, less oversight, lower taxes and operating costs and is an easier way to expand. Rockford Urban Ministries has invited me to speak at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Rockford at 7 p.m. Thursday. Come and learn more.)

— Clinton condemns ‘apparent terrorist attacks’
http://www.starcourier.com/news/20160918/latest-clinton-condemns-apparent-terrorist-attacks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate has split with her over Clinton’s description of some Donald Trump supporters as “irredeemable.”  Tim Kaine said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that irredeemable “is not a word I would use.” But he suggested that it’s not likely the Democrats would be able to change the minds of hardcore Trump supporters on such issues as where President Barack Obama was born. Kaine says Clinton was right to call out “dark emotions.” Clinton earlier this month said she considers “half” of Trump’s supporters to be “deplorables” who are “irredeemable.” She later apologized for saying “half” and acknowledged that many of his supporters are hardworking, but disillusioned.)
