https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/09/california_governors_race_poll_shows_trumpster_john_cox_closing_in_on_leftist_gavin_newsom.html
— Enemies Within – Lloyd Marcus (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Beyond tragically, beyond unacceptably, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), etc. lets people who reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP platform and in the Republican Party platform hold leadership positions. Worse yet, the IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc. lets these platform plank rejecters drive people like me who support the aforesaid planks out of the IRP, DCRCC, MTRCC, etc.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/09/enemies_within.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For decades, we have allowed the American left (public education, Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and fake news media) to indoctrinate our children, teaching them that America sucks and is the greatest source of pain and suffering for people both here and abroad. We’re still allowing leftists to mold and shape our kids into their anti-Christian radical progressive image as early as preschool. Consequently, we have young adults in positions of power and influence who literally hate their country. Like sleeper cells, leftist young enemies-within operatives are seeking to bring down by any means necessary America as founded, openly advocating violence and treason. Mega-millionaire pro-football player Colin Kaepernick is an operative of the leftist young enemies within movement. Nike executives who gifted Kaepernick hero status for hating his country are also members of the young enemies within movement. Facebook and Twitter are active members of the movement, boldly censoring conservative, patriotic, and Christian speech, claiming that such talk is hateful. Starbucks executives believe the leftist lie that America is overrun with rabid racists. Therefore, Starbucks sales clerks were instructed to lecture customers about race when ordering coffee. I suspect that Starbucks clerks lectured only white customers. Upon suggesting that a Millennial family member visit Mt. Rushmore while visiting South Dakota, that person’s venomous response was, “I wouldn’t go across the street to visit those guys.” Clearly, public school taught my young white relative that the men carved in Mt. Rushmore were evil racist white slave-owners.)

— Questions to ask before starting job hunt – Jill Schlesinger (DIERSEN: How many full-time jobs have you had since you earned your bachelor’s degree? I sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances for Firestone Stores 1970-1971; collected delinquent taxes for IRS 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies for GAO 1980-1997. I should write a book about transferring between federal agencies. I took a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
https://www.pressreader.com/usa/chicago-tribune/20180910/281805694821732
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Changing careers is becoming the rule rather than the exception. According to a long-term study by the Labor Department, people born in the years 1957 to 1964 held an average of 11.7 jobs from ages 18 to 48.)
— More retirees filing for bankruptcy – Elliot Raphaelson (DIERSEN: If your retirement is financially secure, and your critics/opponents were asked what are the reasons for that, what would they say? For me, my critics/opponents would say a) that my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors discriminated against minorities and discriminated against females and that I directly benefitted from that discrimination, b) that I was born a healthy White male, c) that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and that I have always been privileged, d) that I avoided the draft, e) that the federal government grossly overpaid me, f) that I married someone who has lots of income and savings, g) that we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents, h) that my federal retirement benefits are much too generous, and i) I have never given lots of money to churches like they do. In my defense, I have always spent less money on immediate pleasures than my peers, I have always put the maximum into IRAs and Roth IRAs, and I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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 32.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/success/savingsgame/tca-more-retirees-filing-for-bankruptcy-20180831-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new study from the Consumer Bankruptcy Project indicates that the rate of bankruptcy among Americans ages 65 and older has tripled since 1991. More people ages 55 to 65 also are filing for bankruptcy. I am not surprised. People are going into retirement with more debt, including much higher mortgage debt. For example, in 1995, only 22 percent of 65 year-olds had mortgage debt; now 38 percent do. The average mortgage debt in 1995 was $27,300; now it is $73,000. Those are scary numbers. The proportion of retirees who have defined-benefit pension plans has decreased substantially. According to the Pension Research Center, a mere 23 percent of U.S. workers have such a pension plan. Today’s retirees are more dependent on defined-contribution plans, such as 401(k)s. With a defined contribution plan, the retiree must manage the portfolio himself or herself or pay a financial planner to do so. Most retirees don’t have the financial expertise to manage their own portfolio. Our educational system is inadequate when it comes to teaching us how to effectively manage a portfolio. Another important factor is age of retirement. Many employees would like to work longer before retiring, but most corporations offer early retirement incentives so they can hire younger workers at lower salaries. When an early retiree looks for other work, he/she faces age discrimination, with practically no recourse, despite anti-discrimination laws. Most people who need to retire early are forced to accept Social Security at age 62, and their benefit is significantly reduced. Although it would be beneficial to wait until age 70, most retirees simply can’t afford to. Another factor is health-care costs. These costs increase at much higher rates than other costs. Many corporations have reduced the health-care benefits for retirees. For seniors, the costs of Medicare, supplemental health care and prescription drugs keep increasing at high rates. Congressional representatives talks a lot about controlling prescription drug costs, but they have been unsuccessful in doing so. Those who use Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage find that as drug costs keep increasing, they are in the bubble much earlier in the year, resulting in much greater costs. The drug companies have substantial lobbies in the U.S., which has resulted in higher drug prices for U.S. citizens than for those overseas. Dental costs increase also for seniors more than for the general population, and Medicare doesn’t cover these costs. Many companies have either no dental coverage or inadequate coverage for retirees. Another factor is longer expected life. Although it is great news that we are living longer, there are other implications. The longer we live, a larger the nest egg that is needed going into retirement to ensure that our money will last for as long as we live. It’s hard to build a larger asset base going into retirement if corporations want their workers to retire early. Moreover, as expected life expectancy increases, insurance companies reduce monthly payments for lifetime annuities. Another factor is required support for other family members. Because tuition costs have increased dramatically, most college graduates are graduating with high debt. As retirees assist their children with this debt, it puts more of a burden on their financial well-being. So, it is not surprising that older people are increasingly filing for bankruptcy.)

I am a member of the following communities: Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, married, old (I am almost 70), non-poor, gun owners, draft avoiders, German Americans, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, former union member, retired federal employee, American nameplate car owner, childless, pet-less, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In addition to all the buzz around the mayor’s race, the November election for Illinois governor looms. Both incumbent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic Challenger J.B. Pritzker were there. Rauner spoke about the importance of the Mexican American community in Illinois. “We are very proud in Illinois, we have one of the largest, most vibrant Mexican-American communities anywhere in the world. We are very proud here,” said Rauner, who has attended the parade every year since he’s been governor. The Republican governor made clear his position on immigrant communities is not in line with that of President Donald Trump. “We are a welcoming state built by immigrants, we welcome immigrants from around the world.”)

PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE
– How to think about (white) privilege Many in this country are privileged, and get a head start, but it’s not about whiteness – GRAHAM HILLARD (DIERSEN: Who demonizes, denigrates, and condemns you as being privileged? Ever-increasingly, the more of the following that you are, the more that anti-Trumps demonize you, denigrate you, and condemn you as being privileged: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/Op-Ed/2018/09/05/How-to-think-about-white-privilege/stories/201809050052
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some years ago, a friend of mine who was employed by a state indoctrination center (all right, a public school) was made to participate in a faculty-development exercise whose ideological preoccupations are by now familiar. Facing each other in a circle, the assembled teachers were directed to take a step backward whenever they could claim one of the “advantages” read from an administrator’s list. Born in the United States? Take a step. Raised in a two-parent home? Step again. Fortunate enough to attend college? Step once more. Perhaps because my friend was forced to back nearly out of the building, he intuited quickly enough the activity’s message. His middle-class life was no longer to be understood as a product of his (and his parents’) diligence and sacrifice but as something undeserved, ugly, even oppressive.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— Technological Advice for Older Job Seekers These six actions will increase job search success. – Peter A. Gudmundsson (DIERSEN: All those who have worked against me, are working against me, and will work against me promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. I should write a book about those who have worked against me the hardest, are working against me the hardest, and will work against me the hardest.)
https://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/articles/2018-09-07/technological-advice-for-older-job-seekers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since one of the more common justifications for age discrimination in hiring is the assumption that older workers are unskilled at using common technology, experienced job seekers must pay careful attention to their technological footprint and personal brand. By attending to how they appear electronically and virtually, older job seekers will reduce the unfair assumptions that hiring managers might otherwise make about their suitability.)

https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2018/09/trump-administration-fights-federal-retirees-supreme-court/151098/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration is standing up for federal retirees in a case before the Supreme Court, arguing they should not face disparate tax treatment compared to their state counterparts. The case involves a precedent known as intergovernmental tax immunity and the 1939 Public Salary Tax Act, which dictates how states can tax government workers. In Dawson v. Steager, a U.S. Marshals Service retiree is suing the state of West Virginia for making the annuities of certain state law enforcement officers tax free, but not granting him the same benefit. The Justice Department this week filed an amicus curiae, or friend of the court brief, in support of James Dawson, the former U.S. Marshals Service employee. Federal law, members of the solicitor general’s office and other department attorneys wrote, prohibits West Virginia from providing tax exemptions for its own employees without also extending them to federal workers.)

She never attended college, she never married, she worked as a low-paid keypunch operator, she lived frugally, and she saved about $600,000 for her retirement. Since 2010, she has lived in an assisted living facility that is currently charging her $239 a day or $87,235 a year. She still has about $470,000 of the about $600,000 that she saved. I can account for all of her income and for all of her expenses since 2009. Of course, I have not charged her anything for the many hours that I have spent managing her financial and health matters. She was one of those who taught me how to drive a car.)

The 97-year-old needed help with her finances and looked for guidance at Symphony Residences of Lincoln Park, a senior facility where she had been staying since 2010. Watanabe, who was forced to live at a Japanese internment camp during World War II, had built up a life savings of $600,000 over a lengthy career as a federal government employee. But instead of helping Watanabe, a group of workers at the home are accused of draining her assets in a yearlong scheme that included cashing checks, making ATM withdrawals and transferring money online without her consent, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by acting Cook County Public Guardian Charles Golbert. Virtually all of her life savings are gone, the lawsuit said. “I’ve never seen this level of corruption from the very highest levels to the very lowest levels,” Golbert said. “These Symphony employees were paid to assist the residents with the care they needed. Instead, they took advantage of Ms. Watanabe’s vulnerabilities to access her money.”)

In today’s dollars, in 1997, when I was 49 years old, GAO paid me $125,325/year or $60.25/hour. I had almost 18 years of experience working for GAO and almost 9 years of experience working for IRS.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Trumpism is taking a toll on Republican races in Illinois, though GOP leaders are optimistic the president’s behavior won’t hurt candidates too much. “His behavior hurts Republicans. You can’t engage in that kind of conduct, those kinds of tweets, and come to a conclusion that it doesn’t hurt Republicans,” said Pat Brady, the former state GOP chair. “But people have been able to differentiate between Trump’s persona and his policies” of tax cuts and deregulation. “People make the distinction.” Recent polls may be showing otherwise. Last night, the New York Times conducted a so-called live poll in suburban Chicago’s 6th Congressional District. Incumbent Rep. Peter Roskam (R) took 45 percent to Sean Casten (D)’s 44 percent—with 11 percent undecided. Respondents also were asked whether they approve or disapprove of Trump’s job performance—57 percent disapproved, compared to 36 percent who approved. That’s quite a drag on Roskam. It’s one of the reasons that, earlier this week, POLITICO’s inaugural congressional race ratings categorized Roskam v. Casten as “lean Republican,” a designation suggesting the incumbent only has a narrow edge. Three other Republican-controlled Illinois House races showed up on the list as “lean Republican”: Rep. Mike Bost (R) v. Brendan Kelly (D) in the 12th District; Rep. Rodney Davis (R) v. Betsy Dirksen Londrigan (D) in the 13th District; and Rep. Randy Hultgren (R) v. Lauren Underwood (D) in the 14th District. – Shia Kapos

FED SMITH
— Would You Recommend the Government as an Employer? – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn past, present, and future federal employees. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible compared to big private sector employers, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible compared to big private sector employers, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid. Non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, a) the longer that you are a federal employee, the less likely that private sector employers will hire you, b) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40, c) you will be expected to help your superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, and d) virtually everyone despises if not hates federal employees, former federal employees, and federal retirees.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/09/06/recommend-government-employer/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why the Government is Not a Good Employer Bureaucracy There are rules for the rules. Bureaucratic hurdles can be maddening to folks who are trying to get work done. While there may be good reasons for some of the red tape, much of it is the variety that no one in the private sector would impose. Inflexible Pay About three quarters of the workforce is covered by the General Schedule or a GS-derived pay plan. Once an employee is hired, pay raises follow rigid rules that do not take into account how well or poorly the employee performs. Entry level pay for high demand jobs may not be competitive, and bonuses for most workers are insignificant. There are no stock options or other pay incentives, and an employee who saves millions of dollars may get a bonus that is trivial. Slow Promotions Great employees whose performance is exceptional can typically be promoted no more than once per year. That unnecessary restriction can drive great employees away, or cause great candidates to decline a federal job. Politics The biggest problem may be our toxic political system. Federal workers have been the targets of opportunistic politicians for years. A great example is those on the right and left calling federal law enforcement officers “jackbooted thugs” at different times in the past 20 years and more recent complaints about Transportation Security Officers calling them “government gropers.” Internal Revenue Service employees are criticized for doing their jobs, and every ten years Census Bureau enumerators are physically attacked while they are carry out a constitutional duty. Then there are the complaints about government workers calling them lazy, incompetent or unable to find “real jobs.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago born-and-raised Ayanna Pressley is all but assured of becoming the first black woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts, the latest example of the Democratic Party’s embrace of diversity and liberal politics as the recipe for success in the Trump era. The 44-year-old’s upset victory against longtime Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano in Tuesday’s primary sets the stage for Pressley to represent an area once served by Tip O’Neill and John F. Kennedy. Her win comes at the tail end of a primary season in which black politicians have made a series of advances. Another bombshell primary win for a black woman as the mid-term elections approach. The Boston city councilor is poised to make history, as she becomes the latest — and perhaps the biggest – win for an emboldened progressive wing of the Democratic Party.)

The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin reports that Judge Harry Leinenweber tossed the libel suit last week. He concluded that the comments about David Freydin and the Law Offices of David Freydin were opinions and amounted to protected speech. Freydin alleged the comments were “salacious, false and libelous.” Some were anti-Semitic. The Chicago-area lawyer also noted the reviewers gave him and his firm one-star ratings out of a possible five even though he never worked with them. The lawsuit names four defendants and refers to 10 others as “John Does.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— There’s an ad war in the 6th District congressional race between Republican incumbent Peter Roskam and Democratic challenger Sean Casten. Each has new ads focusing on Casten’s business record. Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC endorsed by House Republican leadership, is out with an ad titled “Fraud.” It repeats the claim that Casten’s business record is “clouded by scandal and allegations of fraud” and that he was “sued by investors for mismanagement.” It wraps up describing Casten as a “Madigan-machine politician.” Ad here (Casten’s camp has said the disputes were amicably resolved and his employees and investors protected.) Casten’s new ad, titled “Creating jobs, protecting our environment,” shows Casten ticking off his career successes and goals for working in Congress: “employing clean energy technologies, creating jobs, bringing an outsider common-sense approach to the job.” He vows to work with Republicans “when it helps Illinois” but stand up against Donald Trump “when his policies hurt our district.” Ad here The two men are locked in one of the most contentious races in the country, as indicated by POLITICO’s Race Ratings. The seat is rated “lean Republican.” – Shia Kapos

THE WEEK
— APRIL 10, 2018 FLASHBACK: Homeland Security wants to monitor journalists. Time to sound the alarm. – Bonnie Kristian (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents do not want Google News Alerts to bring articles to my attention that they disapprove of. Do you stand with me, or do you stand with my critics/opponents? My critics/opponents a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
http://theweek.com/articles/766230/homeland-security-wants-monitor-journalists-time-sound-alarm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Department of Homeland Security intends to list and track hundreds of thousands of news outlets, journalists, bloggers, and “influencers” in traditional and new media alike. Its plan is to analyze targets’ “sentiment,” monitor “any and all” coverage of select news stories, and possibly share data with “federal, state, local, tribal, and private partners.” If you find yourself skeptical of this proposal of mass state monitoring of the press, consider yourself a bonafide member of the “tinfoil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorists,” DHS representative Tyler Houlton said Friday. It’s all very routine, he argued, casting the project as an innocent means of “monitoring current events.” Just shut up and let us do this, crackpots. Yet I am bareheaded, untroubled by black whirlybirds, and utterly unconvinced. Consider the practical incongruities. While a database of the sort DHS wants could be used to follow news stories, it isn’t necessary for the job. From basic Google News alerts to subscription services with more robust analytic functionality, news tracking programs already exist. Likewise, if DHS needs “to build media lists based on beat, location, outlet type/size, and journalist role,” as its specs document says, an existent public relations service would easily do the trick. The Department of Homeland Security in the Year of Our Lord 2018 is not the first entity to realize this information might be valuable to collect and analyze for more successful press release distribution.)

There was what amounted to an attempted hijack of the funeral of an authentic war hero and prominent senator, to convert it into an expression of anger and of contempt for the absent president. This campaign was torqued up all week by the Trump-hating media, who then gave maximum play to the gratuitous shots of Obama and Meghan McCain.)

According to them, a) instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a woman in 1966, b) the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a woman could have my job, c) instead of me, IRS should have hired a woman in 1971, d) instead of me, IRS should have promoted women in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) instead of me, GAO should have hired a woman in 1980, f) instead of me, GAO should have promoted a woman in 1986, and g) GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a woman could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— More Americans are delaying retirement. But finding jobs when older isn’t so easy – LORI WEISBERG and MIKE FREEMAN (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, age discrimination has never existed, does not exist, and will never exist. According to my critics/opponents, if you have employment problems or other problems in life, those problems are never caused by age discrimination or by your complaining about age discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if you have employment problems or other problems in life, it is because you are stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against because I am stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member because I am stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. Should I sue my critics/opponents?)
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-older-workers-20180903-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a master’s degree in computer science and 30 years of experience working for technology companies, Tom Middleton had little doubt he would soon find new employment after losing his job a decade ago as a software engineering manager at Kyocera in San Diego. How wrong he was. After two years of submitting more than 300 applications for tech jobs and scoring only an occasional face-to-face interview, the then-59-year-old Middleton became convinced his age was a hindrance. He would hear feedback like “You’re overqualified” and “We can’t pay you what you’re used to.” As money grew tighter, house payments were missed and 401(k) savings were exhausted, he took minimum-wage jobs at Target and Walmart and tried his hand at income tax preparation. On a whim, he applied for a job as a bus driver — and was hired, now earning less than half his former six-figure salary. “I had some days where I just wanted to crawl in a hole,” Middleton, now 66, said of his job search. “I thought I’d be a bargain to someone, but they didn’t see it that way.” A growing share of baby boomers is opting to work well into what traditionally would be their retirement years, but the challenges of remaining employed or reentering the workforce at an older age, even in today’s tight labor market, haven’t necessarily eased. And even as Labor Department data show more people 55 and older are employed than ever before and have a lower jobless rate — 3.1%, compared with 3.9% for all workers — they remain out of work longer than their younger peers when they lose a job. On average, they’re jobless for about 37 weeks, compared with 25 weeks for workers ages 35 to 44, according to 2017 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Their hourly pay also starts to decline as they enter their 60s, regardless of how much education they have.)

https://abc7chicago.com/politics/labor-day-fun-mixes-with-politics-at-parades-festivals-/4137452/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The sound of music from marching bands filled the air in Naperville as thousands of people lined the streets to wave flags and cheer as they say their unofficial goodbye to summer. But with the drums of the November election beating louder every day, politicians were shifting gears into their busy season. Governor Rauner was shaking hands, and shaking off any talk of him not being for Illinois workers. “We’ve lost a lot of good paying jobs in this state for decades, we’ve been one of the slowest growing states and now the state’s around us are growing their union jobs and all their good paying jobs much faster than Illinois. We’ve got to be pro-worker by being pro-growth, pro-investment and pro-job creation,” Rauner said. JB Pritzker, Rauner’s rival, attacked the governor for his anti-union efforts at a labor picnic in Rock Island. “He’s about getting rid of unions, he’s about lowering the standard of living of people across the state of Illinois. We’ve got to create jobs in the state there’s no doubt about it, but if we don’t preserve our labor unions while we’re creating jobs we’re doing it wrong,” Pritzker said. In the 6th District Congressional race, which Democrats nationally have targeted to flip, Sean Casten was apologizing for comments that surfaced last week where he was heard comparing President Trump to Osama Bin Laden – but he was not apologizing for the underlying message. “We should be very afraid of a President who uses the tool that demagogues throughout history have used to say, if you are afraid, if you are disempowered, your problem is someone who doesn’t look like you and I’ll fix that,” Casten said. Incumbent Peter Roskam, who championed the President’s tax cut earlier this year, said he was not taking this race for granted. “But I think my opponent has a lot to answer for comparing the President to Osama Bin Laden and advocating nearly every tax hike conceivable,” Roskam said.)

WILL COUNTY GAZETTE
— Crete Monee Community Unit School District 201U students suspended 1,815 times in a single school year (DIERSEN: Since you graduated from high school, how has that high school’s reputation changed?)
https://willcountygazette.com/stories/511548567-crete-monee-community-unit-school-district-201u-students-suspended-1-815-times-in-a-single-school-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Crete Monee Community Unit School District 201U reported 1,815 suspensions for 2016-17, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education. The district transferred six students to another program instead of suspending or expelling them. According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 1,815 students during the year. That equates to 37 percent of the 4,910 students enrolled. Of the 1,108 in-school suspensions, 774 were given to boys and 334 were given to girls, including 781 elementary or middle schoolers and 327 high schoolers. The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons. The category includes 1,092 incidents. There were six incidents of tobacco. For 924 incidents, students were suspended for a day or less. Of the 707 out-of-school suspensions, 504 were given to boys and 203 were given to girls, including 456 elementary or middle schoolers and 251 high schoolers. The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons. The category includes 672 incidents. There were 17 incidents of drugs. For 325 incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.)

I should write a book about false self-identifiers in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. They are pure poison.)

DAILY CALLER
— THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HOLD MORE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ACCOUNTABLE FOR MISCONDUCT – Rep. Louie Gohmert, Texas 1st District (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. While my Democrat superiors in the federal government never charged me with “misconduct” or “ineptitude” or being a “bad actor,” my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that misconduct and ineptitude and being a bad actor were the reasons why they took adverse actions against me, and a) NOT because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) NOT because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/03/more-federal-employees-accountable-for-misconduct/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In our current system, the process for removing these bad actors is nearly impossible. According to data obtained by FedScope, only 0.5 percent of federal employees have been fired in recent years for poor performance or misconduct. Meanwhile, a 2015 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report revealed that once a decision is made to fire a federal employee, removing them from office can take between six months to a year, if not longer. Draining the swamp is not just fiscally responsible, it is absolutely essential to creating a lasting climate of accountability in our nation’s capital – which is the real battle we are fighting. Washington dysfunction runs deep. True change must uproot systemic injustices and remove those in government who perpetuate them. Meanwhile, all of us in government must begin insisting upon excellence and stop incentivizing ineptitude. This is the essence of the MERIT (Modern Employment Reform, Improvement, and Transformation) Act — a piece of legislation I am proud to co-sponsor. The MERIT Act allows for the expedited removal of federal employees who have either engaged in misconduct or who are failing to perform their duties. It also expedites the appeals process in the event these employees protest their termination.)

I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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 32. Anyone should be able to do what I did because according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I am extremely stupid. But out of the other side of their crooked mouths they shout that I had tremendous unfair advantages in life including that I was born a White male, that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, that I avoided the draft, that I worked for the federal government, that I got married, that my wife has always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents, etc.)

Because I would not have been able to get a student loan, I did not even try. When was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

— 6 suspended after Des Plaines police golf outing involving drinking and sex
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180831/6-suspended-after-des-plaines-police-golf-outing-involving-drinking-and-sex
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Five police officers and a civilian employee of the Des Plaines Police Department will be suspended without pay as a result of their actions at a June 2017 golf outing and party, officials said Friday. Police Chief Bill Kushner is issuing the suspensions after private firm Michael Best and Friedrich LLP completed its investigation into the golf outing at Hilldale Golf Course in Hoffman Estates and a nearby after-party that included excessive drinking, nudity, sexual activity and subsequent rumors that a female officer was raped.)

— So, how does the mysterious Google search engine really work? – Brian Fung (DIERSEN: Everyone should compare and contrast how Google treats www.gopillinois.com versus www.capitolfax.com. www.gopillinois.com  highlights the source, title, author, and hyperlink for internet postings. www.capitolfax.com downplays the aforesaid.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180901/so-how-does-the-mysterious-google-search-engine-really-work
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This is where the more subjective parts of Google’s search engine come in. Over 100 factors – from where the user is located to how recently a given webpage was updated – contribute to how highly a certain result may appear. In addition, the company’s famous PageRank algorithm, developed by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, plays a role in determining the authoritativeness of a given source. Google executives are hesitant to discuss the specifics of their software, for fear of encouraging those who may seek to game the algorithm. And a core aspect of Trump’s critique is that Google is mistaken in the way that it assigns authority in the first place. But, said Pandu Nayak, the head of Google’s search ranking team, Google tests its own search results with regular humans to ensure that the search engine does what it is meant to do: Provide relevant and authoritative results. “We’ve developed a detailed series of guidelines about what it means to be authoritative,” said Nayak in an interview. “It’s a 160-page document, it’s been publicly available on the Web for several years now, and it’s our representation about what it means to give relevant and authoritative results. Raters must study it and pass a test” before they can participate in the evaluation process. Google News’ secret sauce Some of Trump’s criticism appears to revolve around which stories appear in Google News. Recent changes to Google News have turned it into a much more personalized product. The company now apples artificial intelligence and accounts more for your expressed preferences. This approach has given rise to questions about what determines News results and just how much its engineers truly understand about the decisions their AI is making. A consistent theme in current machine learning research is that the algorithms are typically black boxes – often, the only way to determine why an algorithm made a decision is to try to reverse-engineer the logic from the results. Influencing the sauce? Still, it appears, companies and individuals can influence Google search results. Reverse-engineering Google has practically become something of a cottage industry, particularly in media. Publishers are constantly trying to find ways to compete for visibility on Google News and on Google Search. For example, Google’s tendency to favor recency, or “freshness,” incentivizes companies such as The Washington Post to create their webpages with metadata keywords that the search engine can easily read. But not even the best experts can know for sure whether their techniques are working. “The file that has the smart meta-title on it is the file that people land on for the latest updates,” said Megan Chan, director of digital operations at The Post. “A lot of it is trial and error.” While The Post has a relationship with Google on special initiatives such as The Trust Project, an effort to promote integrity in journalism, Google does not use those relationships to provide insights into how its algorithms work, Chan said.)

BUFFALO NEWS
— Take a measure of your eyesight this month – Judith Whitehead (DIERSEN: How is your eyesight? My eyesight has never been correctable to 20/20 and I have always had partial red/green color blindness. I can no longer put off cataract surgery.)
https://buffalonews.com/2018/09/01/take-a-measure-of-your-eyesight-this-month/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As we age, loss of vision becomes more prevalent, depending on family history, health and certain eye diseases. If conditions such as Macular Degeneration, diabetes and glaucoma run in your family, you need to make sure you have regular eye exams. Eye diseases often have no early symptoms but can be detected during a dilated eye evaluation. There are more than 40 million Americans over the age of 65 and this number is growing rapidly. By the 2050, there will be more than 88 million people in this age group. As our life expectancy increases, so do our eye conditions. The number of people living with poor vision is projected to triple. Fortunately in our country, conditions such as cataracts don’t have to cause blindness as they do in other countries. We are lucky enough to have accessible health care in most areas of America. We need to make sure we take care of our aging population. Keep an eye on aging relatives and friends – loss of vision is gradual and easily goes undetected. Early detection and treatment is always the key to saving your sight.)

https://www.sedaliademocrat.com/opinion/don-t-take-age-too-seriously/article_63561c43-c4ba-5fd0-a12b-f20a7a92078c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After my cataract surgery, I remember saying that I was officially a geezer. Well, that wasn’t true. NOW I am officially a geezer. My Medicare card arrived yesterday in the mail. You know, that red, white and blue card that all of us geezers carry around in our wallets. I opened the envelope from the Department of Health and Human Services and saw the cheery greeting on the cover letter: “Welcome to Medicare!” Seeing the card felt really weird, I suppose because I have never taken my age seriously. I remember being 30 all those years ago and thinking, “I wonder when I will feel as if I am an adult?” I wondered the same thing when I turned 35. Not long after that, though, adulthood came crashing down because Emily was born, and all of a sudden, I realized that I was responsible for another human being. That made me sit up and take notice. But truly, I have never paid attention to the fact that age was creeping up because I have never felt my age. My BFF Susan and I were talking a few months ago – OK, it was probably a couple of years ago, but who can remember, because they’re all running together at this point – about how we both felt as if we were much younger than our mothers when they were our age (we share the same age), whatever it was at the time.)
