— Mendoza: Rauner has a right to work…”someplace else” – Bill Cameron (DIERSEN: That was the attitude that my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates had toward me. They promoted patronage. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: An anti-Trump says “Survival rests on SHUNNING TRUMP.” Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs have always advised Republicans to shun conservatives. They certainly have advised Republicans to shun me. I should write a book about those who have focused on getting Roskam to shun me. They include past and/or present a) Milton Township Republican Central Committee leaders and members, b) DuPage County Republican Central Committee leaders, members, and employees, c) Illinois Republican Party leaders, members, and employees, d) Illinois Center Right Coalition leaders and members, e) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois leaders and members, f) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce leaders, members, and employees g) Illinois Center Right Coalition leaders and members, h) activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, and political consultants, i) those who focus on destroying people like me and destroying organizations like TAPROOT that they cannot manipulate/dominate, and j) those who I have sued.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Mike Pence arrives in southern Illinois today to campaign for Rep. Rodney Davis, the incumbent Republican from the central Illinois to Metro East areas where President Trump still has some clout. GOP Congressman Peter Roskam is listed as one of the honorary co-hosts of today’s luncheon fundraiser, along with Congressmen Mike Bost, Randy Hultgren, Adam Kinzinger, Darin LaHood and John Shimkus. But don’t expect Roskam to get too cozy with the White House in the run-up to Election Day — Trump remains unpopular in Roskam’s suburban Chicago-based district. In fact, the president is a big reason Roskam’s seat is suddenly one of the most endangered GOP seats in the nation. How endangered? Enough that party strategists are suggesting he might be abandoned as a lost cause if his campaign doesn’t “recover quickly.” For now though, the NRCC is out with a new attack ad aimed at his opponent, Democrat Sean Casten. And Roskam’s camp says the NRCC is pouring $1.5 million into its race. The veteran congressman will need it. Casten has $4.6 million reserved for ads. And a poll commissioned by Casten two weeks ago showed him ahead 49 percent to Roskam’s 44 percent.)

 

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— St. Charles Alderman, Wayne Township Trustee endorse Khouri for House seat – Robert Hadley (DIERSEN: Both Hultgren and Roskam endorsed me in 2000 when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman. Since 2000, my critics/opponents have punished Hultgren and Roskam for doing that. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They 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.)

CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR
— Illinois CPA Society Seeks Minority Candidates for Internship Preparation Program – Illinois CPA Society (DIERSEN: Did you get any internships while you were in college? I did not. I was draft bait. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. My ACT was only 24. I delivered mail for the Park Forest Post Office during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969 while I attended UIC and NIU. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU. Nevertheless, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I have been an Illinois CPA Society member since 1979.)
https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/news/12433223/illinois-cpa-society-seeks-minority-candidates-for-internship-preparation-program
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Illinois CPA Society is seeking minority college students who are sophomores, juniors, or seniors interested in accounting to apply for the Mary T. Washington Wylie Internship Preparation Program. This highly competitive and all-expenses paid program will be held January 3-5, 2019. This program prepares up to 25 racially/ethnically diverse students for entry-level positions with access to practical training, resources, and potential future employers. Highlights from the agenda include resume advice and interview coaching from recruiters and volunteer experts. Additionally, all participants receive a $500 scholarship, business cards, a professional headshot, and a LinkedIn profile. At the end of the program, participating employers conduct onsite interviews with the students for a variety of opportunities, including Abbott Laboratories, Crowe LLP, Deloitte LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Grant Thornton LLP, KPMG LLP, PwC LLP, and Sikich LLP. “When our scholars end up receiving internships and even full-time job offers, it’s highly rewarding to know that we’ve helped brighten their futures,” said Kari Natale, Director, CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois. “Not only do students leave motivated to succeed, but we see them become more confident and better prepared than they ever imagined.” This program is funded by donations to the CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois’ Mary T. Washington Wylie Opportunity Fund, which honors Mrs. Washington Wylie’s legacy by offering opportunities that promote diversity and strengthen the accounting profession.)

 

BREITBART
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: An anti-White says ‘Bromance’ with Kanye Doesn’t ‘Absolve’ Trump’s Racism. Beyond outrageously, to pander to the Democrats, the Republican Party lets people hold leadership positions who are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-married people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, anti-union, anti-employee, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

The federal government dumps its Democrat employees who are White, male, and/or non-veteran who 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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A $15 wage may be enough to buy a small home in some parts of the U.S., and will increase the living standards of millions of Americans. But what’s apparent on the map above is that it is barely sufficient for a studio apartment in the big cities, and it could upset workers already earning $15 and more.)

— Democrats Have a Latino Voting Problem. It’s Not New, But It’s Urgent. – Ed Kilgore (DIERSEN: To get the Latino vote, Democrats promise to give Latinos preference over non-Latinos. To get the Black, Asian, female, younger people, non-Protestant, poor people, non-German American, non-veteran, and recent immigrant vote, Democrats promise to give Blacks, Asians, females, younger people, non-Protestants, poor people, non-German Americans, non-veterans, and recent immigrants preference over non-Blacks, non-Asians, males, older people, Protestants, non-poor people, German Americans, non-veterans, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Catharine Baker calls herself pro-choice, pro-environment and pro-gun control. As the only Republican to hold partisan office in the decidedly liberal Bay Area, it may be the only way she can hang on. Since she was first elected in 2014, the East Bay assemblywoman has split with the GOP on issues that define it nationally and has sought to distance herself from the man who now controls the Republican Party, President Trump. Her tenure in Sacramento has been marked by frequent excursions across the aisle to work with Democrats. “That’s one of the strongest signatures of my record: independence from parties and interest groups,” Baker said. “I feel I’m one of the most effective members of the Legislature that way.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation may have ended, but it’s ignited a group of Chicago-area pro-choice activists. They’re launching WomenAreTheBlueWave.com to turn red legislative seats blue. “We marched. We voted. Now we need to volunteer,” the web site states. The effort was initiated by Illinois Democratic Women and Personal PAC. “Women are going to make the difference in November here and throughout the nation and we want to help harness that energy given that more is at stake now than ever before for women and families,” says Jennifer Lee, co-President of IL Democratic Women. How it works: Women and their allies are invited to sign up at WomenAreTheBlueWave.com. They will then be connected with nearby local campaigns that need volunteer help the most to flip key state districts for candidates with pro-women and pro-choice agendas.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-rauner-pritzker-busy-week-ahead-20181007-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party, which has been heavily subsidized by Gov. Rauner, has gotten a cash infusion of more than $850,000 from a variety of sources. The House Republican Organization, the campaign funding arm of House GOP lawmakers and candidates, gave the state GOP $500,000. The HRO has also received significant funding from Rauner. In addition, the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee gave the party $200,000, while Rauner’s hand-picked state Republican chairman, Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, added another $80,000. Barrett Davie, a Republican state Senate candidate from Lake Forest who is challenging Democratic state Sen. Julie Morrison of Deerfield, also gave the state GOP $70,000. Davie also has been the beneficiary of more than $300,000 from conservative Republican mega-donor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But it became the subject of protests last year over Columbus’ enslavement of native people, with the protest’s organizer supporting renaming the city itself. “Christopher Columbus was an agent of and continues to be a symbol of the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the Americas,” Elissa Washuta, a protester and member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, told the Columbus Dispatch in August 2017.)

 

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Democrat’s poll shows Casten ahead of Roskam by 5 points – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/?post_type=cst_article&p=1411456
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among women voters polled, Casten is up 15 points — 54 percent to 39 percent. For men voters polled, Roskam is up by 7 points — 50 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll. Casten is also performing better with voters age 18 to 39 — polling 58 percent to Roskam’s 25 percent. The race between Roskam, who has held the seat since 2007, and Casten, a political newcomer and a former energy company executive, is under a microscope nationally as Democrats try to regain control of the chamber. Roskam’s campaign said they’re aware the race is close but expressed optimism in the incumbent’s chances. The campaign on Sunday also sought to link Casten to Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, echoing TV ads which say “both would make us pay a lot more” in taxes. “We are confident voters will stick with Peter Roskam, who has been an effective leader for Illinois and is rated as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress,” spokeswoman Veronica Vera said.)

— WHY YOU NEED NEW CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA & SEARCH Stop being censored by Facebook, Google and Twitter
https://www.wnd.com/2018/10/why-you-need-new-conservative-social-media-search/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Have you been a victim of censorship? If you are a conservative, it is almost certain Facebook, Google, Twitter or another high tech company put some type of restriction on the information you need. Your posts may be blocked or shadowbanned. Perhaps, important news is hidden from you. It is a matter of freedom or tyranny. Many people are asking, what is the solution? USA.Life social network and 1776Free.com search engine are the answer to Facebook, Google and Twitter censoring Christians, conservatives and liberty. These new sites are being built by Steven Andrew, a Silicon Valley technology and Christian leader. He set up a crowdfunding page to launch the sites and people are chipping in to save our freedoms. Already, they have exceeded $200,000. When Andrew saw Facebook block tens of millions of his posts from followers, he decided to use his Internet business and leadership skills to make these pro-America alternatives. How can these new sites save the Internet for you and your loved ones? Here are three important reasons why you need USA.Life and 1776Free.com. 1. Freely Share Life, Liberty and Happiness Andrew found big tech blocks pro-American values. Your God-given rights are being restricted. Important things like God, family values, securing the borders for your safety, gun rights, life, the Constitution and traditional marriage are being attacked by these big tech companies. A report found Google gave 96% liberal news against President Trump. This affects elections. USA.Life and 1776Free.com use a Pro-America Algorithm (TM), so you can always share and find life, liberty and happiness. You can freely talk about American values, without being restricted. This makes you and your loved ones safe, strong and blessed. 2. Privacy News reports reveal Facebook, Google and others track almost all private details of your life. This spying is unAmerican. However, USA.Life and 1776Free.com give you privacy. Only a minimal amount of information is used. If you delete something, it is deleted. There is no selling of your personal data to third parties. 3. Real News Liberal big tech companies updated their algorithms, so conservatives get less traffic, according to reports. They promote fake news outlets, which is a danger to national security. USA.Life and 1776Free.com are different. They give you real news, so you know the truth about what is going on. You and your family gain real knowledge. Learn More Without USA.Life and 1776Free.com, your freedom and privacy could be lost forever. However, the Internet can be saved if 58,000 people give $10, or if 5,800 supporters give $100. New members are joining every day by signing up for a free account. Joining now gives users access to preferred usernames and project updates. Don’t be trapped with anti-American Facebook, Google and Twitter, sign up today. With these new sites, you help save the USA.)

FORBES
— Think Again If You Plan To Work Longer – Teresa Ghilarducci (DIERSEN: How long do you plan to work? I planned to work at least until I would be eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003. But my Democrat superiors in the federal government succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement offer when I was 49 in 1997. Consequently, my pension is only $51,864, or only 41% of what my $125,325 salary was in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/teresaghilarducci/2018/10/08/think-again-if-you-plan-to-work-past-65/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When 52% of older workers are pushed out of their jobs, working longer is not their choice. The stark truth is that a significant share of older workers — age 55-64 — are not anywhere near being on track to afford retirement. The median retirement account balance for older workers is only $15,000. Even the highest income workers — those earning over $200,000 per year who are in the top ten percent of the income distribution — do not have enough money to retire and maintain their standard of living. Their median account balance is under a year’s salary at $200,000 and 15% of the highest earners have no retirement plan except Social Security. For nearly 20 years, the advice to older people is to make to make up for inadequate retirement wealth by working longer.

EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER
— German heritage deep in Illinois? – Tom Emery (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. In government and in politics, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes use everything that they can, including your national origin, against you. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, including those of German national origin, who have used my German national origin against me.)
https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/German-heritage-deep-in-Illinois-Ja-13283656.php

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Saturday is German-American Day, which is observed every Oct. 6. In Illinois, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. German ancestry remains prevalent in Illinois, as it has for a century and a half. The strength of German-Americans helped shape Illinois history through a Civil War — and two world wars against the old country. Of Illinois’ nearly 1.8 million residents in 1860, nearly 325,000 were of foreign birth. Germans were the largest ethnic group with 130,000, nearly 8 percent of the state’s total population. In Chicago, 20 percent of the population was German. Many had arrived following the failed German revolution of 1848. A heavy concentration of Germans also was found in St. Clair County, near Belleville. Others settled in cities such as Quincy, Alton, Peoria, Springfield and Galena. In the northern Illinois community of Peru, Germans made up 1,000 of the total population of 3,500 in 1854. The names of a number of communities across the state honor German heritage, including New Baden, New Minden, Germantown, Darmstadt and Meppen. Many Germans were farmers, while others were laborers, merchants and skilled tradesmen. Some followed the popular crafts of their homeland and worked as butchers, bakers, shoemakers, furniture and wagon builders, and cigar makers. Architecture of traditionally German-American buildings, often in brick, remains visible across the state. German-language newspapers were found across the state, even in the smaller cities. In 1859, future presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln bought the press and type to establish a German-language Republican paper. In Peoria, future Illinois Secretary of State Edward Rummel, a native of Baden, Germany, ran a German paper and print shop that produced materials in both German and English. John Wood, who founded the city of Quincy and served as Illinois governor for 10 months in 1860 and 1861, was born to a German mother. In 1892, Prussia native John Altgeld, best known for his pardon of three of the accused in the infamous Haymarket Riot, won election for one term as Illinois governor. Politically, Germans’ support was crucial for a candidate, and their power was felt in 1856 during the first Illinois Republican state convention. The German influence also was a key factor in the 1860 presidential race and, at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, German resolutions were even incorporated into the national platform. Germans were perceived to be staunch abolitionists, though some scholars dispute that claim. Nearly 6,000 Illinois Germans enlisted during the first six months of the Civil War, comprising almost three entire regiments. One top German commander was Friedrich Hecker, a renowned 1848 revolutionary who was a gentleman farmer near Belleville, in the heart of heavily German settlements. Another German regimental commander from St. Clair County was Gustave Koerner, who served as lieutenant governor of Illinois from 1852 to 1856 and was a pallbearer at Lincoln’s Springfield funeral. By 1910, more than 319,000 German immigrants were in Illinois, and more than 1 million people of German descent — a 10th of the national total — called the state home. With nearly 400,000 first- and second-generation German immigrants, Chicago was the sixth-largest German city on the globe in 1914. The high concentration of Germans caused some protest at the outbreak of World War I, as many of German descent decried their adopted country’s stance against their homeland. Music by German composers such as Mozart and Beethoven was banned in some public places, and some German-Americans were under surveillance by state and federal officials. Other German-Americans were forced to recite loyalty oaths in public spectacles. Within a few years, use of the once-prominent German language faded from schools and churches. As a result, many Germans in Illinois distanced themselves from their heritage. From 1914 to 1920, the number of Illinois residents who identified themselves as German on the Census dropped more than 41 percent, to 112,000. But many Germans remained loyal to the American cause and took active roles in the war effort, both at home and abroad. A quarter-century later, dislike of German residents was a minor issue in World War II, as many chose to focus their disgust on Adolph Hitler, rather than their German neighbors. Today, German heritage in Illinois is celebrated in festivals and carnivals statewide, while some communities in Chicagoland — as well as Moline, Peoria, Gibson City, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Millstadt — feature popular German restaurants. Museums and research centers on German-American history and heritage are found in several large metro areas, including Chicago, and the Quad Cities.)

FEDERALIST
— Federal Employees Who Resist Elected Officials’ Orders Should Be Fired – Inez Feltscher Stepman (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government and they use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to not hire, to not retain, to not promote, and to get rid of federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did 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. Democrats forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, that is, they fired me because I resisted their political affiliation discrimination, their reverse discrimination, their age discrimination, and their retaliation.)

NEWSMAX
— The Kavanaugh Fiasco Is Galvanizing the Right Ahead of the Midterms – Steve Gruber (DIERSEN: The more demographics that you share with Kavanaugh, the more outraged that you should be against Democrats. Both Kavanaugh and I are Trump supporters, Christian, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, married, non-poor, and non-veteran. I assume that he is a gun owner and that his ancestors have been in America for a long time like me. However, I am not an attorney, let alone a judge. I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. All my ancestors came from what is now Germany. My wife and I are childless. None of my degrees are from Ivy League universities. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I graduated from a public co-ed high school. My participation in sports was all but ended by a bone disease. I did not display any kind of leadership potential in high school or college. My college majors were management, business, accounting, and finance. I never made any academic honor roles. I was never a member of a fraternity. While Kavanaugh lived in a “dilapidated group house” when he attended law school, I stayed at University Plaza Dormitory and Lincolnshire West Apartments while I attended NIU. While Democrats forced me into early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old, Republicans nominated Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 when he was 53 years old. While I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, Kavanaugh is not. While I am a State Editor for www.GOPUSA.com, Kavanaugh is not. While Kavanaugh “serves as a lector at his Washington, D.C. church, the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. He has helped serve meals to the homeless as part of church programs, and has tutored at the Washington Jesuit Academy, a Catholic private school in the District of Columbia,” I am not a member of a church, I do not attend church services, and I do not give money to a church. While “Kavanaugh’s reported salary as a federal judge is $220,600 and $27,000 as a lecturer at Harvard Law School, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $51,864 and my Social Security is only $2,064.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) blame me for all of their problems, b) blame me for all of your problems, c) blame me for all of my problems, and d) blame me for all of everyone’s problems. They specifically blame me for all the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois since 2000, and especially the defeats that Republican candidates have suffered who have been on DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 ballots in Wheaton.

Now cities are trying to do something about the difference. – Emily Badger and Quoctrung Bui (DIERSEN: What neighborhood did you grow up in and how did it shape you? My parents lived a) in a 2-bedroom apartment above my grandfather’s hardware store at the northeast corner of Main and Exchange in Crete 1948-1954 and then b) in a house at 1286 Wood Street in Crete that my grandfather had built in 1926. My father died suddenly in 1969 and my mother died in 2016. They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod.

All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) drank lots of booze, b) drink lots of booze, c) want to drink lots of booze, d) want to make lots of money selling booze, and/or e) want governments to take in lots of tax revenue from the sale of booze.)

NERD WALLET
— How to Put Your Money Where Your Politics Are – LAURA MCMULLEN (DIERSEN: While I am willing to donate a) 10+ hours of my time each and every day, b) 70+ hours of my time each and every week, c) 300+ hours of my time each and every month, d) 3,650+ hours of my time each and every year, e) 36,500+ hours of my time each and every decade, and f) many thousands of dollars every year to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out each and every morning and each and every evening, I am increasingly reluctant to donate money to religious organizations, to conservative organizations, to Republican organizations, to activists, to candidates, to elected officials, to party leaders, to etc. Ever-increasingly, far too many of the aforesaid fail/refuse to defend and advance a) the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform, b) the illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform, and c) the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. Ever-increasingly, far too many of the aforsaid promote identity politics, 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.)
https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/finance/how-to-make-a-political-contribution/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make sure you can afford to donate Determine which “bucket” of your budget this donation will come from, says Craig Israelsen, executive in residence in the Financial Planning Program at Utah Valley University. Some buckets are off limits, like those for housing payments or utilities. And pulling from retirement savings is “questionable” at best, he adds. (“Our retirement is on us — nobody else is really responsible for that.”) But the money “has to come from somewhere,” Israelsen says. So would you dip into to your clothing or restaurant budget and offset a $100 contribution by, say, not shopping or dining out for a month? Would you pull $300 from your travel funds and, in doing so, commit to driving to Mom’s for Thanksgiving dinner rather than flying? Pausing to reflect on what you’d have to give up for this donation will help you rank its importance among other expenses. Maybe you decide to keep the restaurant dinners and either skip the donation or give less than you’d intended. (More on the value of small donations later.) Or maybe this reflection affirms that, yes, this contribution is important enough to make a sacrifice. (And if this exercise is a real head-scratcher, consider it your cue to build or revisit your budget.))

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/27/politics/kavanaugh-senate-impact-house/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the race against Republican Rep. Peter Roskam in the Chicago suburbs, Democrat Sean Casten has been honing in on Kavanaugh since his nomination in July, initially focusing on concerns that Kavanaugh might vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Decades ago, Roskam’s district was represented by Henry Hyde, the namesake of the Hyde Amendment restricting federal funding for abortions. But the district’s complexion has shifted since Hyde’s time, and Casten has sought to capitalize on a growing pro-choice contingent. Casten has also used Kavanaugh’s nomination to criticize Roskam as a rubber stamp for the President; this week, the Casten campaign has promoted an ad on Facebook calling on Roskam to withdraw his support for the embattled nominee. But the dramatic hearing Thursday, including Ford’s tearful testimony, has upped the ante further. “I think it means we’re going to keep the pressure on (Roskam), that people should believe women,” said Greg Bales, Casten’s campaign manager. “She (Ford) showed incredible courage, and Peter Roskam doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Trump.” Roskam’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. “This is an important issue,” Bales added, “and we’re going to continue bringing attention to it.”)

I worked full-time for the minimum wage for S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights either washing dishes or doing stock boy work. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I drove a 1958 Chevy BelAir. I saved all the money that I could to buy a new car to use to commute to classes at UIC the next year.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/kavanaugh-high-school-friend-mark-judge-a-potential-key-to-many-questions-is-absent-1538089901
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his book, Mr. Judge wrote of being “completely hooked” on alcohol the summer before his senior year, a disorder that he wrote he brought to his job bagging groceries at the local supermarket. “Invariably I would be hungover—or still drunk—when I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together.” Mr. Judge graduated high school in 1983, which would have made 1982 the summer before his senior year. That is the same year that Dr. Ford has suspected the alleged attack may have occurred, although she said she could better pinpoint the time frame if she knew when Mr. Judge was working at a local Safeway grocery store, where she ran into him.)
— New Laws Aim to Make Work Hours More Predictable Research indicates regular schedules benefit staffers’ well-being; complications for employers – Rachel Feintzeig (DIERSEN: While I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I was “on call” 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Frequently, I was called in to work because my coworkers had called in sick or just failed to show up for work. Even though I would have available to work every Friday, every Saturday, every Sunday, every Monday, every holiday, and every day that NIU would not be in session, my Democrat Park Forest Post Office superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 saying that I would not be available to work enough days. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have filed a grievance to keep my job. But my Democrat superiors were doing everything that they could to make the Park Forest Post Office a “hostile workplace” for me. They stressed that I was avoiding the draft by seeking and obtaining student draft deferments. Virtually all my coworkers, supervisors, and superiors were veterans.)

— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Take the jump, or accept a counteroffer? – Paul Davidson (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, my Democrat IRS superiors did not give me a counteroffer when GAO offered me a transfer in 1980 when I was 31 years old. I was holding a GS-12 position at IRS that my Democrat IRS superiors wanted to give to one of my GS-11 Democrat coworkers who was a minority and/or a female. Firestone Stores did not make me a counteroffer when Oldsmobile offered me a job in early 1971 when I was 22 years old. My Firestone Stores boss did not approve of my demographics, especially my being Republican, a draft avoider, 100% German national origin, and a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Nevertheless, he did let me work part-time for him until the end of 1972.)

— How Federal Employees Can Plan a Successful Early Retirement – Micah Porter (DIERSEN: Based on my experience, federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should plan on being forced to retire as soon as they are eligible 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. I became eligible to retire in 1993 when I was 45 years old. I survived only 4 more years until I was 49 in 1997.)
