CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— A fair work week is the fair price of doing business right – Editorial (DIERSEN: While I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I was often called in “at the last minute” to work because my Democrat coworkers had not come in to work or because they had called in sick “at the last minute.”)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/fair-workweek-ordinance-price-do-business-right/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: For the life of us, we don’t understand why a minimum-wage worker shouldn’t have a regular schedule and get an extra hour of pay if asked to come in at the last minute. Is it really too costly to pay a single parent a little extra for saying “no” to their kid’s ball game because they need to say “yes” to flipping burgers at a fast-food restaurant?)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— WALSH accused of scrubbing Facebook pages – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/08/21/walsh-accused-of-scrubbing-facebook-pages-obama-the-campaigner-says-i-know-jb-i-trust-jb-and-new-poll-has-emanuel-beating-em-all-299656
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Helene Miller Walsh is just a few days into her new job as a state lawmaker and she’s already being hammered by Democrats for her political leanings. They say Walsh, the wife of tea partier and talk-show host Joe Walsh, has “scrubbed her Facebook page of all radical views and photos.” Nancy Shepherdson, the Sixth District Democratic State Central Comitteewoman and co-chair of the Illinois Sixth District Democrats, said in a statement: “Helene Walsh should be straight with the voters of the 51st District. If, for instance, she believes that children should be separated from parents who are applying for legal asylum, she shouldn’t be afraid to say so.” Shepherdson said Walsh deleted a July 3 Facebook post that stated: “Don’t want to be separated from your kids…don’t break our laws.” Democrats from the 10th Congressional District, which also includes Lake County, are using a picture of Walsh smiling at a gun show to help fundraise for Walsh’s Democrat opponent, Mary Edly-Allen. Walsh didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. She told the Daily Herald the other day that she’s an independent conservative who wants to fix the state’s pension crisis and reduce property taxes. She was appointed over the weekend to fill the seat vacated by Nick Sauer, who stepped down after a former girlfriend accused him of posting her private, naked photos on Instagram. Law enforcement is investigating.)

 

WHEATON-WARRENVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT 200
— Board of Education authorizes November ballot question – Erica Loiacono
https://medium.com/district-200-newsroom/board-of-education-authorizes-november-ballot-question-93438395fe81
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: District 200 is seeking voter approval to construct a new Jefferson Early Childhood Center without levying a separate, special property tax to finance the costs. Approval of the ballot question on November 6 would authorize the District to construct the new building, but does not provide authorization for the school district to sell bonds to pay for construction costs. The project would be completed through a lease agreement, payable from operating funds, not through an increase to the bond and interest levy. The Board of Education has developed a plan for construction of a new early learning center on the existing site. Jefferson was built in 1958 as an elementary school and was not originally designed to house a program that serves 3-5 year olds, ⅔ of whom have disabilities or special needs.)

LIFE SITE NEWS
— Trump condemns social media censorship: ‘too many voices are being destroyed’ – Calvin Freiburger (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have worked the hardest since 2000 to destroy me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. Overwhelmingly, they want to stop my promotion of a) the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and/or Second Amendment planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform, b) the illegal drugs and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform, and/or c) the Milton Township resolution against video gambling.)
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trump-condemns-social-media-censorship-too-many-voices-are-being-destroyed
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump joined the discussion about political censorship by social media giants such as Facebook and Google over the weekend, calling for unfettered debate and hinting at some sort of government action on the issue. “Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices,” Trump tweeted Saturday. “Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others.” Calling censorship “very dangerous” and “absolutely impossible to police,” the president used his own high-profile battles with the mainstream media as an example. “There is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed,” he said. “Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen,” Trump declared. “Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!”)

 

WEEKLY STANDARD
— How to Throw a Winnable Election – DAVID BYLER (DIERSEN: Whose advice is Rauner taking? It certainly seems like he is taking advice from those a) who want him to lose and b) who want all Republican candidates in Illinois to lose.)
https://www.weeklystandard.com/david-byler/how-to-throw-a-winnable-election
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois: Alienate the Base and Swing Voters Bruce Rauner might seem like an odd fit in this list. He’s the governor of Illinois, one of the most reliably blue states, so it might not be clear that this race was “winnable” in the first place. But other incumbent Republicans in bluer states—like Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Vermont Gov. Phil Scott—seem to be in good shape despite governing states that are arguably bluer than Illinois. So why not Rauner? The answer is pretty simple—Rauner has managed to alienate his base without winning over skeptical voters from the other side. Rauner, like other blue state Republicans, originally promised not to do much on social issues. But he went back on that promise and expanded taxpayer subsidized abortions. That led to an almost-successful primary challenge—state legislator Jeanne Ives finished just three percentage points behind Rauner in the state’s Republican primary. Other blue state Republicans make up for these transgressions by governing competently. That’s arguably what happened to Phil Scott, who managed to win renomination in Vermont by a solid margin despite losing some support over his a gun control bill. But Rauner had serious issues with the state budget. As a result, his overall approval rating in the most recent Morning Consult poll was only 27 percent—making him the least popular incumbent governor running for re-election.)

The aforesaid hint/imply/argue/shout that the Democrats in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois learn everything that they know about what Republicans were doing by reading my emails.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump has said many times that he never uses email, but he’s far from alone: Lots of lawmakers – including Sens. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and even Senate Democratic leader Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) – have more or less proclaimed the same, with pride. With digital dinosaurdom seen as a badge of honor, it’s no wonder that congressional hearings ostensibly about Facebook’s dodgy data practices devolved into clumsy, confused – and bipartisan – queries about: video bloggers Diamond and Silk; the difference between a social media platform and an Internet service provider; how Facebook can possibly make money if it’s free to users; and how to get rid of ads for chocolate.)

— Two New Lawsuits Seek to Stop Discrimination Against Religion The cases seek to expand Supreme Court precedent and establish equality for sectarian education. – Tim Keller and Michael Bindas (DIERSEN: My outstanding parents saved Crete-Monee School District 201-U (http://www.cm201u.org/) lots of money during the 1950s and 1960s by sending my brother and me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest to stay with the Missouri Synod. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who paint themselves as being anti-Missouri Synod Lutherans. They promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things. They paint themselves as being anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/two-new-lawsuits-seek-to-stop-discrimination-against-religion-1534803774
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dave and Amy Carson live with their 15-year-old daughter, Olivia, in Glenburn, Maine. Like many small towns across the state, Glenburn, population 4,543, is too small to maintain its own public high school. Instead, the local government gives families the money it would otherwise spend on education and lets them choose a public or private school for their children. There’s a catch: Maine won’t allow parents to spend taxpayer money on a religious school. Families like the Carsons, who believe a religious school is the best choice for Olivia, get nothing. In Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer (2017), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment prohibits states from discriminating against religion in the operation of government programs. Two new federal suits, in Washington state and Maine, seek to build on that precedent to end government-mandated religious discrimination in programs that pay for work-study programs and high-school tuition. Although the plaintiffs in these cases live at opposite ends of the country, they face similar discriminatory laws rooted in antireligious animus. A victory in their cases could clear the way for states to adopt programs that empower parents—rather than government—to direct the education of their children.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Republicans: Prepare for a crash landing – Kristen McQueary
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-mcqueary-illinois-republicans-rauner-pritzker-20180821-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He’s also struggling with a wide enthusiasm gap. It’s late August and he has not managed to corral his conservative base or gin up support for his own agenda. Instead, he continues to flap against Madigan. Rauner is still getting hammered for the state’s budget impasse while Democrats who fed it are coasting. Remember: Rauner vetoed the first budget sent to him because it was $4 billion out of balance. The next budget the House prepared in 2016 was $7 billion out of balance. And the 2017 budget that included a 32 percent income tax hike and zero spending reforms? Rauner vetoed it. The legislature overrode him. You don’t hear enough about Rauner protecting taxpayers against a spend-happy legislature that hasn’t passed a balanced budget in more than a decade. Republican voters who felt jubilant on election night 2014 with Rauner’s victory and renewed hope that Illinois would turn itself around should prepare for a crash landing. Bring plenty of tequila. In once-safe DuPage County, Trump’s antics and Pritzker’s money are mixing a strong anti-GOP antidote. Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, who sailed to Springfield on a strong record of fiscal conservatism, is locked in a race with a liberal Madigan-funded Democrat, Terra Costa Howard of Glen Ellyn. She also is getting support from Planned Parenthood, with whom Rauner partnered in signing House Bill 40, which expanded public funding of abortion. The fact that Breen, and even GOP Congressman Peter Roskam of Wheaton, are struggling to retain their seats in DuPage County is a manifestation of a fading-fast Republican Party in Illinois. Other Republican-leaning areas, including Rep. Tom Morrison’s Palatine-based district and an up-for-grabs seat in Arlington Heights, are possible flips to the Democrats. Rep. John Cabello, R-Machesney Park, is in a tighter-than-expected race with Democrat Jake Castanza of Rockford. Prognosticators also say it’s going to be a rough ride for Republicans Jerry Lee Long of Streator and Lindsay Parkhurst of Kankakee. The GOP fought hard to wrest those seats from the Democrats and now the pendulum might swing back. Again — anything can happen. But the campaign expenditure reports from Pritzker are revealing, not just in their indulgences but in their braggadocio. You can almost hear the pop of a Champagne cork with each entry.)

— WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA TO TREAT THE ADDICTION EPIDEMIC?
http://www.poppot.org/2018/08/18/slim-evidence-medical-marijuana-for-opiates/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Marijuana Policy Project promotes their drug as a substitute for opiate pain pills. Like the worst offenders in the opiate industry, the cannabis lobby follows an addiction-for-profit business model. Their master plan needs 80% of the demand to be met by 20% of the users. Science shows no evidence for using medical marijuana as a substitute for pain pills. Governor David Ige of Hawaii wisely refused to cave to lobbyists, and he vetoed a measure that would have allowed medical marijuana to treat opiate addiction. A large-scale, major study from Australia demonstrates that cannabis doesn’t work as a substitute for opiate pills in instances of chronic, non-cancer pain. The study came out in July, 2018 and it supports the findings of an American study published in September, 2017.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-republicans-michael-madigan-20180819-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The head of the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association says the governor’s use of his personal wealth to rebuild the state Republican Party is breaking the GOP. Doug House sought to differentiate between Rauner giving millions of dollars to the state Republican Party and J.B. Pritzker’s cash helping to rebuild the Democratic Party. “He broke the Republican Party. He took a large amount of money and set it in front of a fan and turned it on and it just spread across the state Republican Party in a way that did motivate or make them enthusiastic for their candidacy, but it didn’t do anything to build their party. It didn’t create any infrastructure. It didn’t motivate and bring out any activists and build the party through people,” House said Sunday on WGN-AM 720. “Once that money’s gone and once that resource is gone, I feel that he’s broken the Republican Party in a way they will have forgotten what they have learned in terms of raising money and in terms of that grassroots infrastructure type of things they did,” he said. In contrast, House said Pritzker’s money has helped set up the “Blue Wave Illinois” program that included candidate recruitment, training and organizational help for county Democratic organizations across the state that work in building grassroots support. Democrats, House said, have “certainly benefited by his enthusiasm but also by the resources he’s brought to bear to help rebuild and re-energize our party across the state. He’s expressed a genuine interest from the very beginning in the introduction of himself and his campaign that he was interested in helping to build the party.”)

She worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/u-s-league-of-savings-institutions.asp) which had quarterly meetings at luxury destinations across America which she attended as its Corporate Secretary. I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. 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.)

QUAD CITY TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats promote a Democrat who says “Good Republicans can vote Dem.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. What do you say to those in Illinois who cast Republican primary ballots, who become Republican precinct committeemen/captains, who get elected to leadership positions in Republican organizations, who get elected as Republicans to government offices, etc., but who talk and act like they are really Democrats, Libertarians, or Greens? They fail/refuse to promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform. They promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things.)

WIREPOINTS
— Unbalanced Illinois…again and again and again – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner (DIERSEN: What, if anything, has unbalanced you budget for this year? For me it was my 1972 Corvette. D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval replica tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing damage that ethanol did to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carburetor was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

FORBES
— Employers Slowly Making Progress On Social Mobility In Workforce – Karen Higginbottom (DIERSEN: What education did your parents have? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. The aforesaid unfortunate facts frustrated efforts by my critics/opponents to paint me as being someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has always been privileged.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/karenhigginbottom/2018/08/19/employers-slowly-making-progress-on-social-mobility-in-workforce/#5660b3ab5181
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A majority of employers asked their new employees whether or not their parents went to University or the type of school they attended; 4 in 10 also asked their current employees these questions, according to the Index. So there is still more work to do. Social mobility has declined in the last 30 years in the UK and in particular, fair access to the professions. The statistics are pretty damning: only 7% of the population attend independent schools but the privately-educated account for more than half of the top level of most professions, including 70% of high court judges, 54% of top journalists and 54% of chief executive officers of FTSE100 companies, according to a Sutton Trust report.)

He is an authority on Elizabethan and Jacobean literature and had worked at St John’s for more than 36 years.

Shaw said Walsh was picked from about 20 contenders to replace Sauer.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180819/ceo-pay-jumps-to-19m-annually-as-fears-mount-over-the-wealthy-pocketing-gains
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The top executives of America’s biggest companies saw their average annual pay surge to $18.9 million in 2017, according to a report released Thursday, fueling concerns about the gulf between the nation’s richest and everyone else. The dramatic 18 percent jump in chief executive pay came as wages for American workers remained essentially flat, pushing the gap between executive compensation and employee pay to its highest point in about a decade. The rise in executive pay shown in the report by the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank, is driven largely by the big increases in the stock market over the past year. The bulk of CEO compensation is made up of stock grants or stock options, which can lead to substantial paydays for CEOs when companies perform well in the market. The Standard & Poor’s stock market index jumped 14.5 percent in value from 2016 to 2017 when adjusting for inflation, EPI said. From 2009 to 2017, average pay for the nation’s CEOs jumped by $7.8 million, or by 72 percent, according to the report. Over that period, the average wages and benefits for a typical American worker rose from $53,400 to $54,600, or by about 2 percent, the report said. “It speaks to the degree the economic recovery is unbalanced,” said Larry Mishel, an economist who has tracked the CEO-worker pay ratio for two decades and co-authored the report with Jessica Schieder.)

— Trump Slams Social Media Censorship of Conservatives; Files Discrimination Complaint Against Facebook – Selwyn Duke (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat website.)
https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/computers/item/29814-trump-slams-social-media-censorship-of-conservatives-files-discrimination-complaint-against-facebook
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices,” and “the Trump Administration … won’t let that happen.” So wrote President Trump on Twitter Saturday, in a shot across the bow of increasingly Orwellian social-media companies. This comes on the heels of a Friday discrimination complaint the administration filed against Facebook alleging that “the way the company targets ads can be used to screen out people based on race, sex or other protected categories,” reports the Washington Times. While the latter complaint doesn’t relate to the censorship issue, it perhaps does signal the Trump administration’s determination to deal with social-media sleight-of-hand. As for its substance, the Times explains: The complaint goes to the heart of Facebook’s business model, which depends on being able to offer advertisers micro-targeting. “Facebook mines extensive user data and classifies its users based on protected characteristics. Facebook’s ad targeting tools then invite advertisers to express unlawful preferences by suggesting discriminatory options,” the Housing and Urban Development Department said in the complaint. Among those options are physical disabilities, parents with children and even religious practices — advertisers are allowed to show their ads only to people Facebook deems interested in “Jesus” or the “Christian Church,” for example.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Transferring between federal agencies – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO – a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 (currently $91,880) to GS-9 Step 10 (currently $72,677). According to the Office of Personnel Management, 77% of current federal employees have worked for only one agency, 15% have worked for two agencies, and only 8% have worked for three or more agencies. I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, for IRS 1971-1980, and for GAO 1980-1997. I should write a book about transferring between federal agencies.

 

GAO audits IRS. In 1980, when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates vehemently opposed my transferring from IRS to GAO. Instead of my taking a $19,203/year (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars, they wanted me to transfer in as an intern and take a $58,902/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-4 Step 1). To justify that, they viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned a) the knowledge of IRS that I had gained by working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880; b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979; c) my having almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul; d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976; and e) the fact that much of what GAO Analysts do is similar to what IRS Revenue Officers do.

 

They hinted/implied/argued that IRS should NOT have a) hired me in 1971, b) promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, or c) let me work there for almost 9 years. They hinted/implied/argued that the Post Office should NOT have a) hired me in 1966 or b) let me work there for almost 3 years. They were disgusted, outraged, and beyond furious that I transferred in with almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 unused vacation days, and more than 100 unused sick days. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that legislative branch employees were far superior to executive branch employees. They stressed that I had been a union member while I worked for the Post Office and for IRS and that I had filed grievances.

 

To turn everyone at GAO against me, they stressed to GAO employees a) who were Democrats, that I was a Republican, b) who were liberal or moderate, that I was conservative, c) who were non-Protestant, that I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran, d) who had less money than my wife and I had, that my wife and I had more money than they did, e) who were non-German American, that I was 100% German American, f) who had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, that my ancestors had been in America since 1844, and g) who were veterans, that I was a draft avoider. They would not have done any of the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.

 

Have you worked in toxic workplaces? Soon after I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, I learned how toxic its Chicago office was for those who shared my demographics. Nevertheless, I counted on the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer a) to protect me from political affiliation discrimination, from reverse discrimination, and from age discrimination, b) to get me assigned to audits of IRS, c) to get me promoted to GS-11 Step 10 (currently $87,933), to GS-12 Step 5 (currently $91,880), to GS-13 Step 1 (currently $96,403), etc. However, ever-increasingly, the Democrats who ran the office did everything that they could to get rid of him. Nevertheless, in 1986, he succeeded a) in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and b) in promoting me to GS-13 Step 1 (currently $96,403). However, the Democrats succeeded a) in getting rid of him in 1987, b) in throwing me off audits of IRS in 1989, c) in keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career, d) in giving me unfair performance expectations and unfair performance appraisals, e) in always ranking me the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and f) in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/news/ct-sta-school-safety-infrastructure-st-0820-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Crete-Monee Consolidated District 201-U, budget constraints and limited grants have made it “very difficult” to finance needed security measures, said Rochelle Clark, assistant superintendent of district affairs. In the near future, the district hopes to place a school resource officer at its middle and high schools and one to “float” among the elementary buildings, she said. This would not only help monitor student movement during passing periods, school activities and afterschool activities, but would offer an opportunity for officers to build relationships with students and families, she said. All administrators will participate in online training followed by in-person sessions and will work with local police officers to provide “realistic” evacuation and intruder drills, she said. But other challenges to school security include access to the school buildings and varying ideas as to what the students, staff and community “perceive” as safe, Clark said.)

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
— Civil Service Opportunity School – Ben Woodward (DIERSEN: The subject line for the email that transmitted this is “The federal government is hiring conservatives.” I should conduct a similar “Civil Service Opportunity School” in Chicago. Despite my Democrat superiors’ best efforts to waste my career and to get rid of me, despite their getting rid of my first mentor in 1975, despite their getting rid of my second mentor in 1987, and despite my becoming an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988, I nevertheless survived a) for almost 3 years working part-time for the Post Office 1966-1969, b) for almost 9 years working for IRS 1971-1980, and c) for almost 18 years working for GAO 1980-1997. Further, IRS promoted me to GS-9 (currently $55,905) in 1972, to GS-11 (currently $67,638) in 1973, and to GS-12 (currently $81,071) in 1974 and GAO promoted me to GS-13 (currently $96,403) in 1986. In today’s dollars, my ending salary was $125,325.  I have not heard that Trump has disavowed “up-or-out,” so federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should still expect to be gotten rid of if they 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. Extremely few federal employees get promoted that fast. Of course, prospective federal employees should be advised that virtually everyone despises if not hates federal employees, former federal employees, and federal retirees.)

TECH REPUBLIC
— The top 10 most successful cities in the U.S. Based on median income, unemployment rate, and education rate, here are the most successful cities in the country. – Macy Bayern
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-top-10-most-successful-cities-in-the-us/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Zippia, a career search engine, found the most successful city in every US state. Using Census data from the 2012-2016 American Community Survey PUMS, Zippia ranked cities based on median income, unemployment rate, and education rate (percentage of residents over 25 with a bachelor’s degree). Each city’s success was measured on a scale of 1 to the number of cities in each state, along with the three variables above, and averaged those values to determine an individual index, according to Zippia’s announcement. The lower the score, the better the rating, said Zippia. Here are Zippia’s top 10 most successful US cities in 2018: 1. Glencoe, Illinois. . .Ranked first is Glencoe, Illinois, right outside of Chicago. With a median income of $185,320, unemployment rate of 1.5%, and education rate of 86.7%, Glencoe reigns supreme. In close proximity to Chicago, residents can escape the fast pace of the Windy City, while still being in close proximity to visit.)

FED SMITH

https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/08/15/report-suggests-improvements-handling-federal-employee-misconduct/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GAO said that an average of less than 1 percent (17,000) of the federal government’s 2.1 million employees are formally disciplined for misconduct annually. While this is a very small number, GAO notes that even a few cases of employee misconduct can have significant impacts on workplace morale and impede an agency’s efforts to achieve its mission. Based on data from the Office of Personnel Management, federal agencies made 10,249 suspensions, 7,411 removals, and 114 demotions for misconduct in 2016. However, GAO said that because of weaknesses in OPM’s data on employee misconduct, which is provided by the agencies, OPM is unable to accurately target supervisory training to address misconduct, and decision-makers do not know the full extent or nature of this misconduct. Examples of employee misconduct can include: time and attendance infractions, intoxication, workplace violence, physical aggression toward an employee, improper use of a government-issued credit card, misuse of government equipment (such as viewing pornography or gambling), use of public position for private gain, behavior that affects national security)

 

FED WEEK
— Age Discrimination, 50 Years Later – Editorial (DIERSEN: For federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran, age discrimination starts at age 25. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who fail to 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. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotions.)
https://www.fedweek.com/publishers-perspective/age-discrimination-50-years-later/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government officially outlawed age discrimination in the workplace 50 years ago and therefore it is now nothing but a distant memory. We now pause for the laughter to die down. Unfortunately, it is still with us—as are a number of other forms of bias also outlawed around the same time, not incidentally—according to the very agency that enforces the law in the federal workplace as in other workplaces, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act was passed in 1967 but its effective date was put off until June of the following year. The law barred discrimination on grounds of age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment; barred retaliation for opposing employment practices that discriminate based on age or for filing an age discrimination charge; and generally barred including age preferences in job notices. Protection against bias on the basis of advanced age was an admirable foresight in a nation awash with young baby boomers. However, “After 50 years of a federal law whose purpose is to promote the employment of older workers based on ability, age discrimination remains too common and too accepted,” says an EEOC report. “Despite decades of research finding that age does not predict ability or performance, employers often fall back on precisely the ageist stereotypes the ADEA was enacted to prohibit.” While quantifying age discrimination is difficult—in part because, like other forms of discrimination it often is not formally reported—“the perception that age discrimination exists in our workplaces is prevalent,” it said. It cited a recent survey finding that more than 6 in 10 workers age 45 and older say they have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace and of those, 90 percent say it is somewhat or very common. This most frequently takes the form of unlawful firing, harassment, discriminatory terms of employment and discriminatory discipline, said the assessment of the nationwide workforce whose findings should be of special concern in the generally older federal workforce. For those who don’t have a job and are looking at an older age—such as in the common scenario of a federal employee who retires relatively young and wishes to continue working—things can be even worse. In another survey cited in the report, more than 3 of 4 older workers said their age was an obstacle to finding a job. It also cited studies that have documented age discrimination by employers as reflected by the share of job applicants who are called for an interview when applications contained an age, versus those that were age-neutral. Employers also have been found to be signaling a preference for younger workers by stating that “digital natives” are needed.)

 

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Being a Federal Employee, Simplified – Steve Goodrich (DIERSEN: Good rich should write about Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion. Goodrich should write about patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Goodrich should write about how Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire Republicans, to not retain Republicans, to not promote Republicans, and to get rid of Republicans.)
https://www.govexec.com/excellence/management-matters/2018/08/being-federal-employee-simplified/150553/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average age of a federal employee is pushing closer to the 50-year mark and less than 17 percent of workers are under age 35, pointing to the facts that people are working longer and fewer young people are entering government. Civil service reform discussions have for years focused on streamlining hiring and modernizing the approach to employee compensation, never quite getting any of it done. Some believe federal employees are underpaid, others claim they’re overpaid. Maybe there is just too much noise in the system for some to regard federal employment as a great place to work. Perhaps we need to hit the reset button and take a hard look at what is right. Let’s begin with a basic premise: To obtain a job, you must possess a skill set, or at least the aptitude to develop the skills needed. Employment then becomes a form of contract. The employer agrees to pay the employee money and benefits in exchange for job performance consistent with defined requirements and standards. This should be obvious. However, in today’s environment we need to add a second premise: In a rapidly changing world, jobs and organizations must continually evolve, grow, and adapt to be effective. This applies to government, not just the private sector. It should be easy, right? Unfortunately, it’s not. Achieving the following three things would go a long way toward improving the performance and accountability of federal employees.)
— One Quarter of Suspended Feds Have Been Suspended Before – Eric Katz (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress the many adverse employment actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— The joy of being first with a ’64 Mustang – Editorial (DIERSEN: D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval replica tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing damage that ethanol did to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carbonator was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/autos/first-ford-mustang-park-ridge-convertible-garage/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Ford has confirmed what Tom and Gail were hearing — that their Mustang was the first ever sold — and now the car is on display in Michigan this week as the company celebrates the sale of its 10 millionth Mustang. Not only did the Gail and Tom Wise hang on to their Mustang all these years; they also hung on to the original paperwork. By one estimate, that makes their old blue car worth as much as $450,000. We are constantly reminded to de-junk our lives. The KonMari method tells us to tidy up. Feng shui tells us to remove unneeded items. But sometimes there’s joy to be found in proper storage.)

To get and keep employees who can withstand that vicious demonization, that vicious denigration, that vicious condemnation, and that vicious hatred, governments have been forced to provide more generous pensions. I should write a book about those in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, viciously condemn, and viciously hate past, present, and future federal employees and federal retirees.

FORBES
— Age Discrimination By Employers Is Common, AARP Survey Says (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2018/08/12/age-discrimination-by-employers-is-common-aarp-survey-says/#36c0942b2cc5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The vast majority of Americans who work into in their 50s, 60s and beyond need to keep making money as they grow older but encounter widespread age discrimination in job hunts and at the workplace, a new AARP survey has found. AARP surveyed 3,900 people age 45 and older who were working full-time or part-time or looking for work and learned that more than nine in 10 older workers see age discrimination as common. And 61% say they’ve personally seen or experienced it. Women are more likely than men to have seen or experienced age discrimination, according to the survey. More than three quarters of African-American respondents, 60% of Latinos and 59% of whites reported seeing or experiencing it. What AARP Says About Age Discrimination “Older workers want to work, they’re ready to work and they need to work,” said Susan Weinstock, AARP’s vice president of financial resilience. “They should have the opportunity to be judged on their merits, rather than their age.” But the survey results strongly suggest older job applicants routinely are denied that opportunity. Since turning 40, a striking 30% of respondents experienced at least one of these six actions and 17% experienced two or more: not getting hired for a job they applied for because of their age; heard negative remarks related to their older age from a colleague; passed up for a chance to get ahead because of their age; heard negative remarks related to their older age from a supervisor; were laid off, fired or forced out of job because of their age or were denied access to training or professional development opportunities because of their age. Among respondents who’ve applied for a new position in the past two years, 44% said they were asked for age-related information such as birth dates and graduation years. Such information is often used to discriminate against older applicants and requests for it discourage many older workers from applying, according to AARP. Fears of Getting Hired After a Job Loss About one third of the survey respondents said they doubted they’d be able to quickly land another job if theirs was eliminated. Almost half of them said the major reason would be age discrimination. Government data shows that nearly one third of workers 55 and older who lose their jobs are unemployed a financially-dangerous six months or more. By contrast, just 18% of those ages 16 to 54 are out of work similar periods. The AARP survey also suggests that most older workers don’t think they have much protection against age discrimination. While a majority reported seeing or experiencing age bias, barely 3% said they’d filed a formal complaint with an employer or government agency.)

August 12 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Despite 2 voter rejections, Wheaton-Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 plans to construct new building — and gets sued over it – Bob Goldsborough (DIERSEN: What are your connections with this issue? My wife and I have paid real estate taxes big time to District 200 since 1978. We have never attended any District 200 school and we have never sent any child to any District 200 school. The District 200 headquarters is in my precinct as well as Whittier Grade School and Edison Middle School. Janet Shaw is a fellow Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman. I know Dan Wagner and his wife. I understand that the lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Bonnie Wheaton.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/ct-met-wheaton-school-preschool-project-20180806-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twice since 2013, voters in the Wheaton and Warrenville area have rejected referendum proposals to raise taxes for the construction of a new preschool. Despite that, the Community Unit School District 200 board is proceeding with building a new Jefferson Early Childhood Center without voter approval through a different form of financing. But now a resident who opposes that measure has sued the district in DuPage County Circuit Court, seeking to halt the plans. Those in favor of building a new childhood center call the current 26,500-square-foot building outdated and note that the district in recent years has renovated or built anew every other school building except Jefferson. Jefferson, which was constructed in 1958 and had 277 pupils as of June, offers a traditional preschool and early childhood intervention for youths with mental or physical disabilities. Voters rejected a referendum proposal for a new Jefferson school in 2013, and again said no in 2017 as part of a much larger, $132 million proposal involving other district schools as well. Board President Jim Vroman said that after the 2017 referendum proposal failed, the district surveyed voters and found that “a substantial majority” supported building a new Jefferson. “That told us that voters were against the tax increase that the referendum would have generated if we had proceeded,” he said. Instead, the board agreed with a suggestion by a district financial adviser to use lease certificates, or secured lease credit financing, to fund a new Jefferson. District 200 would oversee construction of the estimated $15.5 million, 41,544-square-foot building, while Zions Bank would own the building. . .Frequent board critic Janet Shaw, who runs a blog that scrutinizes the district’s finances, long has questioned the legality of using lease certificates and added that “my real problem is that we don’t need (the new school building).” Shaw has filed suit against District 200, demanding a halt to the current plan to finance a new Jefferson. She is seeking a judge to require District 200’s board to submit a proposal for the new school building to the public via a referendum question. “District 200 is tampering with election results right here in DuPage County,” Shaw said. “The district thinks that by using the magic word ‘lease,’ its two failed referendum efforts and the will of the community are somehow erased and it can proceed in an identical manner as if a referendum had been adopted by the community to build and finance a new school.” A district spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit. Dan Wagner, a parent and longtime proponent of a new Jefferson, called the existing building outmoded, with some instruction occurring in converted broom closets. He added that the building lacks air conditioning, which precludes some special needs pupils from participating in gym classes.)

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— Republican Party welcomes union member into leadership ranks – Chandra Lye (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are anti-union and anti-wage earner. They stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years. They stress that I was a lowly wage earner 1964-1997. I washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511525061-republican-party-welcomes-union-members-into-leadership-ranks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Northwest Side (NWS) GOP Club, which touts itself as union-friendly, has added another leader with union ties to its ranks. The club recently announced Erin Jones was appointed precinct committeeman for Chicago’s 39th Ward. “Erin is a rock-star and a loyal member of the NWS GOP Club.” club officials said. “As a first-responder family, Erin and her husband serve the community both on and off-duty. We are happy to have her in a leadership role.” As a committeeman, Jones will represent the GOP voters of the precinct at the county level. “I grew up in Rogers Park and moved to the Northwest Side nine years ago,” Jones said. “I’ve been a Chicago police officer for the last 15 years, spending 10 of those years in patrol on the Westside of the City. I actually started working for the city when I was a teenager as a lifeguard in Rogers Park.” Jones is married to a Chicago firefighter and has two daughters. She was appointed by Matt Podgorski, NWS GOP Club chairman and 39th ward committeeman. The NWS GOP Club also has a party planned for Aug. 11 to welcome its card-carrying union members and encourage other union members to explore the club. Republican candidate and Chicago police sergeant Ammie Kessem is slated to attend the event. Kessem is challenging incumbent Rep. Robert Martwick (D-Chicago) for Illinois’ 19th House District seat in November’s general election.)

The aforesaid frauds work extremely hard against me. They promote booze, gambling, pot, and even worse things.)

— EEOC Sues The University of Wisconsin System for Age Discrimination – EEOC (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, EEOC should sue the federal government. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who the federal government does not promote to 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.)
https://legalnewsline.com/stories/511525152-u-s-equal-employment-opportunity-commission-eeoc-sues-the-university-of-wisconsin-system-for-age-discrimination
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The University of Wisconsin System violated federal law when it refused to hire a former longtime employee because of her age, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed. According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, Bambi Butzlaff Voss, who was 53 years old and subject to a layoff from her job as a Marketing and Communications Specialist at the University of Wisconsin’s Waukesha campus, applied for six different positions with the University of Wisconsin System’s central office in Madison, including an Associate Marketing and Communications Specialist position. Butzlaff Voss had 25 years of experience performing tasks similar, if not identical, to the ones in the position she applied for. But, because of Butzlaff Voss’s age, the University refused to hire her. Instead, it hired a 23-year-old candidate with less than two years of experience. Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The EEOC sued in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (EEOC v. Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, Civil Action No: 3:18-cv-00602) after first trying to settle through its conciliation process. The lawsuit asks the court to order the University to hire Butzlaff Voss and provide back pay as well as pay liquidated damages. The lawsuit also seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting the University from discriminating against future candidates based on their age. “The Age Discrimination in Employment Act has been on the books for five decades,” said Gregory Gochanour, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Chicago District. “The EEOC will make sure employers follow the law, even if it means going to court to get the message across.” Julianne Bowman, district director of the EEOC’s Chicago District, said, “Workers over 40 years of age should have the same opportunities as those workers less than half their age. Ignoring a candidate’s decades of experience relevant to the available job, because of her age, to hire someone with less than two years of experience is illegal discrimination.”)

Pang (DIERSEN: Recently, a registered Republican voter in my precinct phoned me and a) said that she was out of town, b) said that her security camera had alerted her that I had left a flyer on her door, c) demanded that I immediately come back and take that flyer off her door which I did, d) said that I should “take me off your list,” e) said that I should not bring anything to her home anymore, and f) ignored the fact that the flyer had two DuPage County Election Commission mailing labels on it, one for her and one for her Republican husband.
