— Lose-with-Honor Republicans Have Trashed the Conservative Brand
https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2019/02/04/lose-with-honor-republicans-have-trashed-the-conservative-brand/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The short answer to your question is the Gillespie campaign was a bunch of Never Trumpers. The Gillespie campaign was a bunch of people who thought that the way for the Republican Party to win was to have a candidate and a support staff who were the exact opposite of Donald Trump. So here’s what I said July 13th, 2017. RUSH ARCHIVE: You think Virginia is the swamp and it’s all Never Trumpers there, and so Gillespie hires a bunch of Never Trumpers, but he barely squeaks by in the primary. Never Trumpers and hiring a bunch of swampsters to run your campaign with a bunch of people that don’t know how to get Republicans who voted for Trump, you’re not gonna win the governorship! RUSH: Right. Now, your question, how in the world can anybody in a decent opposition political research department miss this Northam stuff?)

— ONLY IMMIGRATION CAN STOP THE TRUMP ECONOMY’S MOMENTUM – Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA
https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/04/beck-economy-momentum/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The last thing those Americans need is for Congress or the president to stop the positive momentum by taking immigration actions that would add competition from millions of new job seekers through increased immigration, more guest workers, weaker enforcement and new amnesties. Some 50 million working-age U.S. residents (aged 18-64) are still not in the labor market at all. Of course, not all of them need a job. But large numbers do. For example, 35 million people under age 65 live in poverty. One of every five Hispanics is impoverished. One of every three working-age black Americans still has no job. . .It is doubtful employers will do the necessary recruiting of those Americans and immigrants already here if the government increases the flow of foreign workers even higher than the current one million new immigrants who are given lifetime work permits each year plus hundreds of thousands of guest workers. How much better it would be if the president could persuade Congress to speed up the momentum of recruiting previously unwanted workers. He can do that by sticking with his campaign promises to help American workers by working with Congress to cut unnecessary, generalized immigration like chain migration and the lottery, and to mandate E-Verify to shut off the jobs magnet that encourages illegal workers to come and stay in the United States. The president should urge Congress to keep the recruitment momentum going.)

FED SMITH
— How Many Millionaires Are in the Thrift Savings Plan? – Ralph R. Smith
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/02/04/many-millionaires-thrift-savings-plan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the end of 2017, there were 23,962 TSP millionaires – an increase of almost 150% from two years before that date. At the end of 2018, with the stock market declining in value in 2018, the number of millionaires in the federal government’s TSP program declined along with the stock market. (The C fund declined 4.41% in 2018.) As of December 31, 2018, there were 21,432 millionaires in the TSP. The average TSP millionaire has been contributing to the plan for almost 30 years (29.63). The TSP participant with the largest account value has accumulated $6,086,238. Keep in mind, if you happen to be one of these rigorous, successful savers, having a TSP account in excess of a million dollars does not translate into having that much money to spend. When the money is withdrawn, there will be taxes due to the federal government and, for some, taxes may also be due at the state government level. Retired employees are required to pay taxes on their TSP withdrawals.)

I am all too painfully aware of a) those who discourage me from putting the emails together and sending them out, b) those who discourage others from reading the emails, and c) those who could encourage others to read the emails, but do not.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Amara Enyia’s financial problems: Underreporting income, tax lien, lawsuits – David Heinzmann
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-met-amara-enyia-income-tax-problems-20190201-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago mayoral hopeful Amara Enyia omitted one-third of her income on her 2017 federal tax return, the latest in a series of money missteps for a candidate who is campaigning as a public finance expert, a Tribune investigation has found. Enyia did not report to the IRS $21,000 paid to her by Chris Kennedy’s governor campaign, where she worked as a consultant for several months. Contacted by the Tribune, Enyia acknowledged the error, but offered different responses to explain it. At first, she blamed the Kennedy campaign for not providing her a tax form in a timely fashion. Later, Enyia said she forgot to give the form to her accountant. “That was an oversight. That’s just basically it,” she told the Tribune. Enyia, 35, has seen her political star rise during the mayoral campaign as she pairs support from celebrity rappers and a savvy social media strategy with credentials that include a law degree and doctorate in education. But as she cuts an increasingly high profile among the large field of candidates, a closer look at her history reveals Enyia struggling with her own personal finances. Enyia, who is asking voters to elect her to run a city with an $8.9 billion budget, has been sued over rent and student loans, faced a lien for unpaid federal taxes and been fined tens of thousands of dollars for failing to file quarterly campaign finance reports. Asked what her financial troubles say about her readiness to be mayor, Enyia said they are a result of her decision to work in public service. “There are many things I could have done that would be more lucrative because I do have a vast amount of credentials and experience. I could make a lot of money if I wanted to. But I’ve made the decision to work in spaces that are not lucrative,” she said. “To me, drawing a line between, if you can’t manage your personal finances, you can’t manage the city’s finances, is a very faulty line.” Enyia’s most significant government job, as village manager of south suburban University Park in 2017, quickly ended amid disagreements over her salary demands and concerns about whether she was spending enough time at Village Hall.)

China also created an app that allows people to know whether they are near someone who is in debt, and it reportedly rolled out a National Credit Information Sharing Platform that is reportedly being used to blacklist rail and air passengers for “anti-social” behavior. “The use of your face to track you should be highly regulated,” Bengio told Bloomberg.)

According to reporting by Daniel Chaitin of the Washington Examiner, a source from Big League Politics told the Washington Post an individual reached out to the website because of “anger” over Northam’s recent comments about a bill that would loosen restrictions on abortions. “The revelations about Ralph Northam’s racist past were absolutely driven by his medical school classmate’s anger over his recent very public support for infanticide,” the unnamed source said according to Chaitin. Amazing how Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie’s team missed it. President Trump tweeted the same question: “Ed Gillespie, who ran for Governor of the Great State of Virginia against Ralph Northam, must now be thinking Malpractice and Dereliction of Duty with regard to his Opposition Research Staff. If they find that terrible picture before the election, he wins by 20 points!” As Christian Vasquez reported for Politico, Gillespie appears to remain a sore spot for Trump, who was shunned by the Republican nominee during the high-profile 2017 election. Some have suggested that Gillespie had it and refused to use it because it would have muddied the distinctions they were trying to draw, with the Washington Post’s Glen Kessler tweeting, “Several astute readers have suggested Gillespie’s campaign may have known of this but chose not to use it…” The writers at Red State were of the same mind saying, “Having observed a boat-load of GOP campaigns over the years, I find nothing at all implausible about the Gillespie campaign having the material and deciding not to use it. From what I’ve seen of Vichy Republicans in action at fairly close range, I’d actually be more shocked if it was used than finding it wasn’t… We agree that Republicans campaigns hiring incompetents, grifters, and rent-seekers foisted upon them by outsiders is the hallmark of any establishment GOP campaign.)

They were not happy with me a) because I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) because in 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member of a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, c) because I refused to help them get rid of their employees who they wanted to get rid of, and d) because my demographics did not help them meet any of their Affirmative Action, Diversity, or Inclusion quotas, goals, or targets.)

— Here are two truths to help you build a successful career and future – Ken Fisher
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/2019/02/03/how-to-succeed-build-your-career-with-these-tips/2733832002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That’s your goal! To endlessly build your future. For that you need two truths: First, make sure your employer is like that. And if they aren’t, move to one that is. How hard is your employer really striving to grow? How much effort and money do they invest each year into truly new growth oriented initiatives? . . . The second truth: You must make yourself indispensable – which has two components. Once you’re done with college and working, you need to be permanently learning. You can do it informally online. But keep building your human capital. Google endlessly about anything and everything that touches, even peripherally, on what your firm does, and beyond the functions you perform there. Then, at work, keep volunteering, for everything and anything. Raise your hand repeatedly. Make your boss and boss’s boss know you are not about what you “can do,” which is about your capacity, but what you “will do” which is above, beyond, and more than that sorry sap next to you. If your firm does shrink, you will be among the last 20 percent they let go, giving you time to maneuver to a more futuristic employer. In our future, anyone who isn’t eager is meager. Great attitude and activity will always equal success. Complacency now equals eventual failure. Sustainable success is only yours to build.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-school-legislative-breakfast-st-0203-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Schuler said because of staff shortages, teachers often are asked to substitute internally or assume extra responsibilities as coaches or activity sponsors. Annual contractual raises for longtime teachers accompanied by the stipends from the added work can put teachers over the 3 percent threshold, causing a district to face penalties, he said. Districts can’t tell veteran teachers to stop taking on extra work because that would be age discrimination, and he said often school districts don’t know when teachers are retiring because they don’t give several years’ notice. The District 200 leader said he’s willing to sit down with legislators to help come up with a system in which districts aren’t penalized in those instances.)

— Rep. Davis hears Lincoln Home workers’ shutdown stories- Bernard Schoenburg (DIERSEN: What stories about you do/did your U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators what to hear from you? Because of the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my stories about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html). My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They knew that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in political affiliation discrimination.)

— The Argument Against Illegal Immigration No One Wants to Make – Annine Madok
https://www.amgreatness.com/2019/01/30/the-argument-against-illegal-immigration-no-one-wants-to-make/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell This is the same sentiment shared by 90 percent of the well-heeled, white, liberal Democrats in my suburban Southern California community, as well as the few remaining well-heeled Republicans. Illegals are here, and we can afford to employ them because they are a source of cheap, domestic labor. Our nannies, gardeners and housekeepers could all be here illegally. We don’t ask and don’t care. Because they are trapped. Same goes for the dishwashers, busboys, car wash employees and day laborers we hire without batting an eye. We don’t ask and they don’t tell. We give them a job, without a green card, and pay them less—often significantly less—than what we would have to pay someone here legally. We also trap them into an employment cycle from which there is no upward mobility and no escape. It didn’t start out this way. This underclass showed up at our southern border, slipped through a dilapidated piece of chain mail, and sighed a happy sigh. They were in the land of milk and honey! Sorry folks, not so fast.)

Why didn’t I reject their “offer?” They had made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would completely destroy me. They had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they had not promoted me beyond GS-13, they gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, they had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and they had forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They and I knew that because of the pro-patronage position that Republican elected officials in Illinois had in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois, Republican elected officials in Illinois would not come to my defense.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Lawmakers yesterday took part in sexual harassment training that was described as intense. It prompted chatter all day long about what’s appropriate in the comfy confines of the Capitol. It’s not OK, for example, to greet colleagues with a hug or kiss without their permission. The no-touching rule touched off a debate among lawmakers who see their colleagues as friends. For some, a hug and peck on the cheek are how you say hello. A woman legislator, though, said it really shouldn’t be so difficult to say “Do you mind if I hug you?” The discussion was moderated by an investigator for the Illinois Department of Human Rights, according to one attendee. Fresham Democratic Rep. Anne Stava-Murray, who has been a lightning rod on the issue, attended the training and took part in discussions. “It was worth it to be the voice in the room that said the things that needed to be said,” she told POLITICO. Stava-Murray previously said she was “forcibly kissed” by a lawmaker at a gathering for freshman legislators. Tuesday’s sexual harassment training was instituted after the #MeToo movement hit the statehouse. Among some incidents: Tim Mapes, former chief of staff to Mike Madigan, was fired after a state employee accused him of sexual harassment. – Shia Kapos

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— TRAGIC: Gone, baby, gone – Timothy P. Carney
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/gone-baby-gone
(FROM THE ARTICLE: American women have averaged fewer and fewer babies every year this decade, and the latest numbers show the biggest drop yet. The total fertility rate in 2017 fell to 1.7655 babies per woman of childbearing age. The replacement level is 2.1. The number of babies born has been falling every year since 2007. Without immigration, America would be dying off. What’s the cause? Health writers at NBC News explained the drop and regional variations by pointing to “women with more education,” “the growth of sex education in the schools,” and “the passage of the Affordable Care Act,” which by expanding Medicaid “would have impacted access to family planning services.” In other words, NBC News sees the birth dearth as a story of progress and policy. In truth, however, it is a story of culture and decline. Women are having fewer babies largely because America is abandoning the institution of marriage, from which babies typically arise. Only half of all adults are married, down from 72 percent in 1960. Some of that is because college-educated people tend to delay marriage until they are older. But most of the slump is because working-class people either do not stay married or else don’t marry at all. Only half of working-class, 40-year-old women are married, compared to 85 percent in 1960. This isn’t making parenthood disappear. There are an increasing number of babies born to unmarried, working-class women. So much for the efficacy of “sex education in the schools.” Unmarried women without a college degree are disproportionately likely to have only one child. So the problem — it certainly is a problem, even though NBC News won’t tell you so — is that the culture which nurtures children is falling apart. Community strength is collapsing among the working class, as Charles Murray documented in his book, Coming Apart. If communities are not strong, getting married and having a family are less desirable and less achievable. It takes a village, after all, to raise a child. Utah, which is famously communal in its culture, is one of only two states where the birth rate is above replacement rate. Throw in falling wages for working-class men, interminable education among elites, and you get a country with less marriage, less sex, fewer families, and fewer babies. Hardly progress.)

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/oracles-college-recruiting-bias-case-highlights-risks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corporate recruiting and college campuses are such a natural combination, what could possibly go wrong? A number of workers—and the federal government—say some employers use it as a way to exclude minorities and older people. Oracle Corp. is being sued by the Labor Department’s contractor watchdog, which alleges that the tech giant discriminated against minorities when hiring recent college and university graduates. Hewlett Packard and PricewaterhouseCoopers face similar claims, related to possible age bias over their recruiting practices, brought by private parties. Recruiting on college campuses is perfectly legal, if done correctly, according to management and plaintiffs’ attorneys. But as these cases show, the displacement of certain groups is a legal problem, even if it’s only an unintended consequence of the recruiting. Meanwhile the Seventh Circuit has thrown a wrench into the issue—at least in the Midwest—by holding that only employees, not job applicants, are protected against the unintentional effects of neutral recruitment practices. Seemingly Neutral, but Problematic The complaint against Oracle alleges that the company “strongly preferred hiring Asian recent college graduates,” resulting in a refusal to hire “more than 100 qualified, non-Asian, applicants.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Lawmaker’s outrageous slur is no way to foster discussion of race – Editorial (DIERSEN: Are you a Trump supporter? Soon, Trump-haters will call you a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. What are you doing to prepare for that? Suggestions include always wearing a body camera when you leave your home and keeping it turned on. From what I see, Trump-haters are most likely to attack their Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captain. If your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain was attacked by Trump-haters, how strongly would the following come to your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain’s defense: a) the officers of your Republican township, ward, and county party organizations, b) your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, c) the IRP officers, d) the IRP National Committeeman, and e) the IRP National Committeewoman? I should write a book about the aforesaid in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who despise if not hate Trump and would NOT come to my defense if I was attacked by Trump-haters.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190128/editorial-lawmakers-outrageous-slur-is-no-way-to-foster-discussion-of-race
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The unfortunate thing about state Rep. Anne Stava-Murray’s description of her hometown as “white supremacist” is less how wrong and irresponsible the characterization is than how destructive it is to a conversation that needs to continue. In an interview last week with the Daily Herald’s Marie Wilson, the Naperville Democrat doubled down on a Facebook post that attracted broad criticism, insisting that long-dead policies and practices in “the whole Chicago region” justify claiming that today we see “white supremacy in an unclad kind of way, without its hood on” in contemporary policies and attitudes. Her comments, let us state flatly, are patently offensive and outrageously exaggerated. Whatever racial inequities and prejudices exist in Naperville or any other Chicago suburb, they cannot remotely be compared to the openly hostile and vile actions and behaviors of a misguided subset of white Americans who espouse ignorant claims of racial superiority and urge separation from and subjugation of other races. That she does not recognize the insult in her remark and believes “starting a conversation” justifies it is a bitter reflection on the quality of her own judgment and a worrisome suggestion about her own ability to operate effectively as a leader in her community.)

I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income.

— Dem Rep. Jeffries Doesn’t Regret Calling Trump by a KKK Title ‘Grand Wizard’ – Lauretta Brown (DIERSEN: Are you a Trump supporter? Soon, Trump-haters will call you a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. What are you doing to prepare for that? Suggestions include always wearing a body camera when you leave your home and keeping it turned on. From what I see, Trump-haters are most likely to attack their Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captain. If your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain was attacked by Trump-haters, how strongly would the following come to your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain’s defense: a) the officers of your Republican township, ward, and county party organizations, b) your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, c) the IRP officers, d) the IRP National Committeeman, and e) the IRP National Committeewoman? I should write a book about the aforesaid in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who despise if not hate Trump and would NOT come to my defense if I was attacked by Trump-haters.)

Those who hate past, present, and future federal employees and retirees use the federal government’s up-or-out policy to viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn past, present, and future federal employees and retirees who did 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 as being lazy, stupid, bad, and even worse things. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who hate past, present, and future federal employees and retirees the most.)
https://www.rep-am.com/local/news-local/2019/01/28/age-discrimination-eyed/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic lawmakers are proposing to prohibit employers from inquiring about the dates of a job applicant’s birth and graduation. A group of 25 House Democrats is sponsoring the legislation with the stated aim of reducing age discrimination in job hiring. “This bill will make a real difference for seniors who are being unfairly vetted based on their age,” said Rep. Derek Slap, D-West Hartford, a lead sponsor. The Labor and Public Employees Committee is scheduled to vote this afternoon to set a hearing date for House Bill 6113 and five other bills. A state law enacted last year bars Connecticut employers from asking job applicants about how much previous jobs paid them without a job offer being made that includes wages. It took effect this month.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— The GOP romance is already on the skids. Republicans who thought Pritzker was a centrist say he’s just catering to his left-leaning base. “We’re two weeks in and there’s zero indication” of him hugging the middle, said one GOP lawmaker. “So what” that he had dinner with Republican leaders Jim Durkin and Bill Brady? Pritzker then went and signed an executive order to ensure HB40 was being properly enforced. The measure allows taxpayer funding of some abortions. Republicans saw it as “a slap in the face.” – Shia Kapos
