— Nothing is more powerful than privileged white people talking about white privilege – Dahleen Glanton (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, a) instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a minority in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a minority could have my job, c) instead of me, IRS should have hired a minority in 1971, d) instead of me, IRS should have promoted minorities in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) instead of me, GAO should have hired a minority in 1980, f) instead of me, GAO should have promoted a minority in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a minority could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Is metro Chicago gaining or losing jobs? Yes. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the less likely that Chicago employers will hire you, retain you, or promote you: 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.chicagobusiness.com/article/20180730/BLOGS02/180739979
— Why CPS students of color still lose – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: What high school did you graduate from? Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had an unfair advantage in life because I graduated from Crete-Monee High School in 1966. One could ask my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes what percent of my classmates a) earned a bachelor’s degree, b) earned a master’s degree, c) earned a professional certification, and d) earned a professional license.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20180727/ISSUE05/180729916
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Metropolitan Planning Council ruffled some fur recently when it concluded in a report on census data that African-Americans are only partially sharing in downtown Chicago’s job boom. The council is right. Though one can argue that the glass is half full rather than half empty, fact is that in a time when overall downtown jobs grew 10 percent, the number held by blacks was up 2 percent. That’s certainly better than the 7.5 percent drop in Chicago’s black population in the same period, but not good enough. One obvious solution to that is better education. If young adults who now are trapped in declining neighborhoods get the right schooling and can tap into the right networks, they ought to be able to get more of these jobs. This is what was discouraging about another report that landed in my inbox a few days ago, concluding that Chicago public schools that are heavily black and Latino aren’t offering the same rich selection of college-prep courses as schools with more white students.)

 

HERALD & REVIEW
— Lake Shore-to-Wrigley anti-violence protest Thursday will cross Cubs game, Lollapalooza – JOHN BYRNE (DIERSEN: Who does not want your backing? Those who do not want my backing a) reject those like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platform, b) reject those like me who oppose the promotion of 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, and retaliation, c) reject those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, and d) reject those like me who do not glorify and praise them, who do not pander to them, who do not serve as their operatives or dupes, and who do not give them money.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Organizers planning an anti-violence march that could snarl traffic along its route from Lake Shore Drive to Wrigleyville during Thursday’s evening rush hour — before a Cubs game and on the first day of Lollapalooza — went to City Hall Monday and made it clear they don’t want Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s backing for their demonstration.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a release, Michael J. Madigan, chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois, pointed the finger at President Trump. “With Donald Trump in the White House, women are constantly targeted as part of his agenda. As we saw with his recent Supreme Court nominee, women’s rights will remain under threat for years to come, making legislation like the Violence Against Women Act even more important.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: The Congressional Leadership Fund, the House GOP leadership aligned super PAC, has reserved $2 million in television advertising in Chicago to boost GOP Rep. Peter Roskam. Republicans were down on Roskam a few months ago, so this might be a sign that Roskam’s political standing is improving. CLF is making additional reservations throughout the week. – Shia Kapos

I should write a book about Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have worked the hardest to drive Republicans out of Illinois.)

ILLINOIS WATCHDOG
— As jobs market improves, more people quitting – Cole Lauterbach (DIERSEN: With only rare exceptions, the longer that you work for government, the more impossible it is to get a job in the private sector. Private sector employers have an extremely low opinion of government employees. Private sector employers view government employees as being lazy, stupid, grossly overpaid, and even worse things. The longer that you work for government, the lower the opinion that private sector employers have of you. I was a government employee for almost 30 years. I should write a book about private sector employers in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, and in Wheaton who have made it very clear that they have an extremely low opinion of me.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Gov. Rauner dropped 10 percentage points in the first three months of 2018, and now holds the third worst approval ranking. Morning Consult notes that three in five Illinois voters disapprove of Rauner’s job performance as he attempts to hold off Democratic candidate J.B. Pritzker, a billionaire philanthropist and venture capitalist, in November. . .Among governors running for re-election in 2018, those with net disapproval ratings are Wisconsin’s Walker (-7 percent), Illinois’ Rauner (-34 percent), Rhode Island’s Raimondo (-11 percent), Arkansas’ Walker (-23 percent), and Hawaii’s Ige (-12 percent).)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— On retirement question, Justice Ginsburg has go-to answers (DIERSEN: I would have first been eligible for regular retirement in 2003 when I would have been 55 years old.)
https://apnews.com/eccb7230dc9245f79cda9cafed4ee080/On-retirement-question,-Justice-Ginsburg-has-go-to-answers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For more than a decade, audiences and interviewers have had one pressing question for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: When will you retire? The question used to be whether the now 85-year-old liberal justice would let President Barack Obama choose her successor. Now it’s whether President Donald Trump might, giving conservatives an even stronger hold on the court. Ginsburg, the court’s oldest current member, has used a variety of practiced answers to the retirement question over the years. They all boil down to the same thing: She isn’t ready to go. On Sunday, Ginsburg reminded a New York audience that her former colleague Justice John Paul Stevens was 90 when he retired in 2010. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years,” Ginsburg said, according to a CNN report.)

WASHINGTON POST
— White, and in the minority She speaks English. Her co-workers don’t. Inside a rural chicken plant, whites struggle to fit in. – Terrence McCoy (DIERSEN: How fast is your precinct, your municipality, your township/ward, and your county becoming 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.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2018/07/30/feature/majority-minority-white-workers-at-this-pennsylvania-chicken-plant-now-struggle-to-fit-in/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a country where whites will lose majority status in about a quarter-century, and where research suggests that demographic anxiety is contributing to many of the social fissures polarizing the United States, from immigration policy to welfare reform to the election of President Trump, the story of the coming decades will be, to some degree, the story of how white people adapt to a changing country. It will be the story of people like Heaven Engle and Venson Heim, both of whom were beginning careers on the bottom rung of an industry remade by Latinos, whose population growth is fueling that of America, and were now, in unusually intense circumstances, coming to understand what it means to be outnumbered. They didn’t know the heavy burden of discrimination familiar to members of historically oppressed minority groups, including biased policing and unequal access to jobs and housing. But some of the everyday experiences that have long challenged millions of black, Latino and immigrant Americans — the struggle to understand and be understood, feeling unseen, fear of rapid judgments — were beginning to challenge them, too.)

U.S. SENATOR MARK WARNER (D, VA)
— On Senate Floor, Sen. Warner Speaks Out For the Federal Workforce (DIERSEN: Aside from me, how many retired federal employees do you know?)
https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2018/7/on-senate-floor-sen-warner-speaks-out-for-the-federal-workforce
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate in support of the federal workforce, which has been subjected to unprecedented attacks under the Trump Administration. “The way our federal government treats its workforce, the way we manage and invest in the human capital of our federal government is not some kind of parochial issue. This is an issue that impacts all American who pay their taxes, follow the laws, and expect their federal government to work for them, and to work well,” Sen. Warner said on the Senate floor. “That’s why, Mr. President, I also rise with great concern about the recent efforts by this Administration to scapegoat and undermine the work of our public servants. It started with the hiring freezes that threw a wrench into the day-to-day operations of nearly every federal agency — with no apparent benefit to the taxpayers. It continued with executive orders undermining workplace protections for federal workers and their ability to organize as part of a union. And it culminated last month, with the Trump Administration’s plan to freeze federal employee pay and cut retirement benefits for 2.6 million federal retirees and survivors. This is the thanks our federal employees get for their service!” On May 4, OPM Director Jeff Pon outlined an Administration plan to freeze federal employee pay and cut retirement benefits for 2.6 million federal retirees and survivors. On May 25, President Trump signed three Executive Orders that would roll back protections for our federal workforce by making it easier to fire federal employees, restricting time employees can be compensated for union work and directing agencies to negotiate tougher union contracts. Today is the first day of oral arguments in a lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenging the executive orders.)

To demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being overpaid and undeservedly filthy rich, my Democrat superiors in the federal government and Money Magazine stressed the money that I spent on new cars, real estate, tuition, collector cars, etc. They stressed that I avoided the draft and that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-rich-people-prefer-grey-poupon-white-people-own-pets-cultural-divide-20180724-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The cultural divide is real, and it’s huge. Americans live such different lives that what we buy, do or watch can be used to predict our politics, race, income, education and gender – sometimes with more than 90 percent accuracy. It turns out that people are separated not just by gun ownership, religion and their beliefs on affirmative action – but also by English muffins, flashlights and mustard. To prove it, University of Chicago economists Marianne Bertrand and Emir Kamenica taught machines to guess a person’s income, political ideology, race, education and gender based on either their media habits, their consumer behavior, their social and political beliefs, and even how they spent their time. Their results were released in a new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research. The duo trained their algorithms to detect patterns in decades of responses to three long-running surveys, each with between 669 and 22,093 responses per year. The surveys were tuned and filtered to be consistent over time, which allowed Bertrand and Kamenica to measure how America’s cultural divides have evolved. . .But others are revelatory: White people and black people are almost as different in their spending habits as rich people and poor people are, for example. Differences in social attitudes between liberals and conservatives have been widened over time, Bertrand and Kamenica found. The gap in social attitudes between whites and nonwhites has fallen slightly, but the difference in consumer behavior between races has grown.)

http://www.chicagogop.com/
(FROM THE MEDIA ADVISORY: On Wednesday evening, the Cook County Republican Central Committee is scheduled to vote on a proposal by Chairman Sean Morrison to admit Democrats into leadership positions in several Republican ward organizations. The proposal would eliminate the provision in the bylaws that say that individuals may not have voted Democrat in the last three cycles to hold the office of Republican ward committeeman. In 2016, several life-long Democrats, some affiliated with the local Alderman, ran for office as Republican ward committeemen and were disqualified by the bylaws. Chairman Morrison has stated that he intends to seat them anyway. The controversial proposal is strongly opposed by a large number of Chicago Republican committeemen who have said they intend to boycott the meeting. The proposal has also drawn strong opposition from the chairman of the Chicago GOP, Chris Cleveland. Cleveland’s statement on the matter is below. The meeting will be held at: Gene & Georgetti’s Restaurant in Rosemont Wednesday, July 25 7:30 pm The meeting is open to the public.)

I worked for IRS 1971-1980 and for GAO 1980-1997. 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://thehill.com/homenews/house/398467-congress-demands-new-study-on-staffers-pay
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lawmakers are demanding the first study in nearly a decade on pay for congressional staffers amid growing concerns about whether those workers, in particular women and racial minorities, are being underpaid. “Addressing pay inequality, both on sex and race, is a top priority,” said Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee. “That’s why we’ve included language in this year’s Legislative Branch appropriations bill for a compensation study that examines both pay equity and the overall competitiveness of House salaries.”)

https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apos-alarming-apos-way-1-144300783.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To finance their purchases, one in three millennial homeowners withdrew money from or took loans against their retirement accounts, according to Bank of the West’s survey of over 600 U.S. adults ages 21-34. Meanwhile, one in five millennials who are planning to buy a home expect to do the same. It’s an “alarming” trend, according to Ryan Bailey, head of Bank of the West’s retail banking group. “Millennials are so eager to become homeowners that some may be inadvertently cutting off their nose to spite their face.” He recommends relying on savings rather than dipping into your retirement funds. “Borrowing from your retirement may make sense in special circumstances, but it’s definitely not a recommendation we tell people to do,” Bailey tells CNBC.)

— Democrats try to rebuild the state party from the ground up – Rich Miller (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. How much money has your Republican county and township/ward party organizations received this year from the Illinois Republican Party, that is, from Bruce Rauner?)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/illinois-democrats-blue-wave-rebuild-party/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But last week, the county organization received a $5,000 check from the Rock Island County Democratic Party. Warren is one of 14 counties that received a total of more than $200,000 from the Rock Island Dems last week. Warren’s check tied with Effingham County’s for being the smallest. The Kankakee County Democrats received about $28,000. Kane County’s Dems received about $20,000. Williamson County got about $14,000. The Metro East’s Madison County Democrats have so far received the largest check in this initial round: $45,495. The Carroll County Democrats have raised an average of about $3,000 a year for the past 18 years, but they received $7,523.50 last week. As I’ve told you before, the Rock Island Democratic Party Chairman is Doug House, who also runs the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association. Because state campaign finance laws allow unlimited contributions between county-level party organizations, the J.B. Pritzker campaign gave House’s Rock Island Democrats $1 million earlier this year as the first installment on its “Blue Wave Illinois 2018” program. . .Several county parties, particularly Downstate, have few actual precinct committeepersons. In Chicago and suburban Cook, precinct captains are appointed by local township and ward committeemen. They don’t have to live in the precincts assigned to them. Everywhere else, committeepersons are elected in their precincts — and it’s not easy convincing people to run for that office, particularly in overwhelmingly Republican areas. However, those county chairs can fill vacancies, and the appointed committeepersons don’t have to live in the precincts they represent, so a big push is on to get counties to a minimum level of 75 percent coverage. Some local party officials have also been told that the million-dollar contribution from Pritzker is just the first round. More party-building money is coming. By contrast, as of last week Gov. Bruce Rauner’s campaign had given a total of about $33,000 divided between nine county and township Republican organizations since the March primary. The Illinois Republican Party chipped in another $25,000 during the same time period for a handful of county organizations. J.B. Pritzker’s campaign has contributed $5.7 million to various Democratic groups and candidates since the primary, including big bucks to several suburban and Chicago political organizations. Pritzker’s campaign gave the St. Clair County Democrats $200,000 during the primary and it paid off big. Pritzker won St. Clair with 76 percent of the vote.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180720/with-fewer-refugees-to-resettle-world-relief-aims-to-broaden-its-role
(FROM THE ARTICLE: World Relief is one of nine organizations contracted by the U.S. State Department to resettle refugees. But the Trump administration has capped refugee admissions to 45,000 for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 — the lowest figure since the Refugee Act of 1980. Advocates expect the actual number to reach roughly half that based on State Department statistics. World Relief’s suburban offices have resettled a combined 133 refugees through June. By contrast, those offices welcomed 652 refugees in fiscal 2016. More than 40 percent of this year’s refugees are from Myanmar; others are from Bhutan and Ukraine.)

If GAO had been unionized since 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors might very well have NOT been able a) to force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) to give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) to always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) to delay my promotion to GS-13 and to not promote me beyond GS-13, e) to get rid of my mentor in 1987, f) to keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) to force me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: William A. Jacobson, a professor at Cornell Law School and the editor of the Legal Insurrection blog, said the subpoena posed a threat to the freedom of press. “Allowing persons or entities that have been the subject of news reporting to pry into the communications of the journalists covering them will have a chilling effect on the ability of journalists to report on matters of public interest,” Mr. Jacobson said in a statement. “That is why the law, at least in New York, protects journalist records.”)

QUESTION: What would GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails have contained if my critic/opponents had their way? ANSWER: Those emails would have ONLY included links to articles that make my critics/opponents and/or their candidates look good. My critics/opponents and/or their candidates a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform (most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks) 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://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/397532-more-than-100-civil-and-human-rights-groups-call-on-senate-to-reject
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a Tuesday letter, led by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the groups say Kavanaugh will be a fifth and decisive vote to undermine a host of core rights and legal protections, including economic security and access to healthcare, abortion, voting and labor rights. The groups, which include the NAACP, Lamba Legal and Demand Justice, also the rights of immigrants and persons with disabilities, LGBTQ equality, equal opportunity, affirmative action and environmental protections all could be endangered by Kavanaugh joining the high court.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2018/07/15/facebook-infowars-what-you-need-know/786388002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook is under pressure to explain why Infowars, a site known for promoting conspiracy theories, doesn’t get booted off the social network as it cracks down on fabricated news. After it admitted pages – including those run by Russian operatives – had scammed the social network with made-up news and video during the 2016 presidential election, Facebook forced through a series of changes designed to prevent a repeat, such as letting users flag content they think is false and then having third-party fact checkers examine the post. At the same time, lambasted by conservatives for what they say is a liberal bias, Facebook maintains it won’t make the editorial decisions itself.)

FCW
— Is Congress expanding its knowledge to meet oversight demands? – Chase Gunter (DIERSEN: GAO’s claim of being nonpartisan was a major reason why I agreed to suffer a $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old. But I soon learned that GAO, and especially its Chicago office, is extremely partisan.)
https://fcw.com/articles/2018/07/17/congress-tech-knowledge-base.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kosar also noted that the staffs of nonpartisan congressional assistance entities, such as the Congressional Research Service and the Government Accountability Office, have seen their staff size decrease. And in the technology arena, that knowledge gap is even more glaring. Congress once had the Office of Technology Assessment, an internal congressional think tank that produced reports on technical matters for lawmakers, but it was shuttered in the 1990s to cut costs. Earlier this year, lawmakers attempted to revive OTA, which peaked at a budget of $20 million and a size of 140 staffers, but the bid failed on a mostly party-line vote in the House.)

WORLD NET DAILY
— HAPPY WHITE HISTORY MONTH! GET OVER YOUR FEAR! Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson applauds people who ‘founded this country and made it great’ (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes disagree with Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.)
http://www.wnd.com/2018/07/happy-white-history-month-get-over-your-fear/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the last 60 years or more, white people have been under attack, falsely called “racist,” and blamed for the failure and problems of black Americans and other so-called “people of color.” Illegal aliens, refugees and immigrants from “s—hole countries” have been allowed to come here, and instead of showing appreciation for the freedom and beauty for their new home, they bring their godless cultures. They vote for socialism and are emboldened in hate, blame and victimhood by our corrupt leftist government, school system and media. Each year reveals new levels of insanity celebrating radical Black History Month, transgender and homosexual history, feminist women – celebration of everyone except for straight, white, conservative Christian men of power. White people have been under attack, unappreciated and under a spell of fear for so long that most of the country can’t even remember that it was whites who made this country the destination that it is! The simple fact remains: Without white people, there would be no America. White men founded this country and made it great. White men like President Trump are the last ones holding America together – and it is hanging by a thread. So out of appreciation, I deemed July as White History Month. For some reason, whites allowed others to come in to this country who would turn around and betray them! Reportedly, whites will soon be a minority in their own country! If we allow the vilification and replacement of whites to continue, then our country will become a ghetto. We will see more black-on-white crime, more laws against Christians and men, a total loss of freedom, and destruction of communities. Mark my words, if we don’t stop this attack upon white people, we will become like South Africa where black communists seek to take white farmers’ private land without compensation. Blacks hunt down, torture and kill white farmers, including women and children – and murder one another in the townships. Riots and destruction of property are the norm. Families are destroyed, the economy is hurting, disease is rampant, and there’s a lack of morality or responsibility among the people. We caught a glimpse of this in America under President Obama, the worst and most hated president the country ever experienced. He brought the radical hate group Black Lives Matter and other evil people to the White House regularly. He sowed division, hatred and suspicion toward whites, police, Christians, business owners and men. Race riots, targeted cop killings, and black-on-black murder all increased because he validated criminals and thugs while demonizing and marginalizing the good people. Thankfully, white men and women, and a growing number of “people of color,” woke up and supported the Great White Hope, President Trump. He’s working overtime to Make America Great Again. He’s sending the illegals back, not falling for the media propaganda about the “children” whom criminal adults intentionally brought here. He’s building a big beautiful wall on the border. He gives no play to Black Lives Matter and antifa (Occupy Wall Street communists). Trump is a man of courage and action, with love for the country and no fear. He’s from the old school! Men of other races have been destroyed. Now evil seeks to destroy white men. Although most are still conservative, they’ve grown very weak, afraid to stand up for themselves and what’s right. Their parents let them down. They should watch and learn from the president. On my daily call-in show on Newsmax TV and YouTube, I greet people, “Happy White History Month!” I offer the same wishes while going about my day at the gym, the bank, post office and gas station – “Happy White History Month!” Some are grateful. Most react with laughter, confusion or anger. Many believed that “white history” was observed “every day,” but it’s not – whites are only cast negatively by the children of the lie. Some friends and callers express concern for my safety, fearing a violent backlash against White History Month. We should be wary of violent leftists and white haters, given the incitement by anti-Trump agitators like Maxine Waters (the Wicked Witch of the West), corrupt government officials, media and Hollywood. There are places where it’s not safe to be an open Trump supporter. But the children of the lie proudly tout their beliefs with no sense of shame for being wrong – they’re in your face promoting evil! If you are a child of God, you have no fear. Perfect love, the nature of God, drives out fear. But if you have fear, you are still of your father the devil. In counseling and talking with people, I notice most men and women have fear. Men are afraid to deal with their wives. Grown men and women are afraid to face their mothers and be honest with them! Where does fear come from? Anger and unforgiveness. Unless you forgive, you will not be forgiven. And you will have all of the children of anger: fear, doubt, insecurity and suicidal thoughts. So forgive and be free! Watch video from The Jesse Lee Peterson Show: “Fear Is the Worst Thing You Can Have. (Happy White History Month!)”)

Did you have a mentor? I did not. 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.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180713/mentor-program-for-district-211-alumni-celebrates-first-college-grads
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A program pairing low-income, first-generation college students who are Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 alumni with mentors to help them through their higher education celebrated its first graduates at a dinner Thursday night at Palatine High School. Eight of the original 30 students in the Excel Beyond 211 program — 27 percent — received their college degrees within four years, organization President and former District 211 Superintendent Nancy Robb said. That far exceeds the national average for this demographic of college students, in which just 11 percent graduate in six years, she said. The new graduates are now eligible to be mentors themselves for future college students with similar backgrounds.)

Since 1995, it has been stored on a lift in the garage. I have not started it since 2009.

http://abc7chicago.com/politics/paul-ryan-my-car-was-eaten-by-animals/3758684/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ryan hasn’t driven in the three years he’s served as Speaker of the House, he said, because his government security detail provides transportation. During his time in office, the car was left in Wisconsin with his mother, who made a point to turn it on regularly to make sure that the engine still ran. When his mother returned recently from spending the winter in Florida, she found that the SUV wouldn’t start. Ryan had the Suburban towed to a mechanic, who deduced that a family of woodchucks had taken up residence in the underbody the vehicle. “They ate all of the wiring out of it…my car was eaten by animals. It’s just dead,” Ryan said.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps crow about their success in promoting protests against Trump in Scotland.
http://nprillinois.org/post/thousands-turn-out-protest-against-president-trump-scotland
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He was greeted by protesters on a nearby beach chanting, “No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA.” Earlier, the BBC reported that police were investigating how a paraglider was able to fly close to Trump’s Turnberry resort with a banner that read, “Trump: Well below par.” As the president was golfing, a crowd of approximately 10,000 was marching in Edinburgh, according to The Guardian. In Glasgow, The Washington Post reported that Scottish police estimated the crowd in the city’s St. George Square to be less than 1,600 people. Jonathon Gillies, a 27-year-old bar worker from Glasgow, told The Washington Post that “nobody here is against Americans. They are welcome to come here anytime. It’s just Trump we have a problem with.” The BBC reported that protest organizers wanted to speak out against “Trump’s politics of division and hatred.”)

IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified veteran, Democrat, minority, or female who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified veteran, Democrat, minority, or female who would take the job. All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, the agency downsized. But all during those 18 years, the agency’s employees who were veteran, minority, female, and/or younger (under age 30) were protected from the adverse impacts of that downsizing.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180713/northrop-grumman-ceo-will-step-down
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The move comes just days after reports surfaced that the company employed a member of a white supremacist organization who participated in a violent rally in Charlottesville last summer. The employee, identified as Michael Miselis by ProPublica and “Frontline,” no longer is employed by the company. But Northrop was slow to respond to the allegations, and the news organizations also reported that he had remained employed even after his superiors had been informed of his actions. In an email to company employees at the time, Bush said that Northrop “would take the appropriate actions to make sure that our foundation remains strong well into the future.” Asked whether the Miselis’ alleged affiliation with a white supremacist group played a role in Bush’s decision to resign, Northrop’s Paynter said “absolutely not.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Will you be able to afford retirement with the lifestyle you want and expect? That depends on whether your retirement savings are on track.
