— Rauner’s new ad tries to connect him to start-up lifestyle
https://capitolfax.com/2017/05/04/rauners-new-ad-tries-to-connect-him-to-start-up-lifestyle/
(FROM THE POSTING: For the small business owners, the entrepreneurs, the risk-takers and change-agents. There’s no 9-5. Work doesn’t stop and they don’t stop, because they know there’s always more to be done, more to achieve. Bruce Rauner knows that drive. He made his name leading one of Illinois’ most respected businesses. But his first job was cooking burgers. His second? Parking cars. In college, he worked in the dining hall to earn extra money. When he moved back to Chicago to work at a data company, he spent nine months sleeping on a camping mattress, because he didn’t have any furniture. But this self-made businessman would go on to earn an MBA from Harvard, joining an investment start-up and building a reputation as a business pioneer. That same spirit now drives his push for real reform in our state, because across Illinois more than one million small businesses are led by creative, driven innovative people from every walk of life. And they need a governor who’s fighting for them. Working for you and our future. Bruce Rauner.)

http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2017-05-03.html?utm_source=jolt&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Jolt_5/4/2017
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If this is the budget deal we get when Republicans control the House, the Senate and the presidency, there’s no point in ever voting for a Republican again. Not only is there no funding for a wall, but — thanks to the deft negotiating skills of House Speaker Paul Ryan — the bill actually prohibits money from being spent on a wall. At a CYA press conference on Tuesday, Trump’s ridiculously chipper budget director, Mick Mulvaney, described the bill’s prohibition on building a wall as a MAJOR win. (At least Mulvaney said it in English, unlike his all-Spanish 2014 townhall.) True, there will be no wall. But the Democrats graciously agreed to allow the administration to fix broken parts of any existing fences on up to 40 miles of our 3,000 mile border. The other big wins, according to Mulvaney, are: 1) more defense spending, which is fantastic news, because I was worried Boeing and Lockheed Martin CEOs were falling behind Mark Zuckerberg with their gluttonous salaries; and 2) school choice, an obsession of Washington wonks that is hated out in America, where parents move to high-tax towns for the express purpose of avoiding schools full of disaffected urban youth, and the disaffected urban youth don’t want to spend two hours on a bus every day. But Mulvaney assures us that this monstrosity of a spending bill has set things up beautifully for the next budget negotiation in October. That has become the GOP’s official motto: “Next time!”)

http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/illinois-playbook/2017/05/politico-illinois-playbook-220123
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican healthcare plan would repeal the Net Investment Tax, which was a tax of higher tax brackets mandated under the Affordable Care Act meant to help subsidize insurance premiums under Obamacare. It is a tax of about 3.8 percent on investment income for higher tax brackets. In 2015, Rauner paid $6.6 million toward that tax. (See Rauner return here) The anti-Rauner group Illinois Working Together, has made an issue of this saying “the people of Illinois deserve to know where Gov. Rauner stands,” on the repeal.)

— DISGUSTING: The Trump administration hired an official who was accused of sexually assaulting five students – Justin Elliott  (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, none of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, or subordinates ever filed any kind of complaint against me. However, my Democrat superiors treated me, that is, punished me, like many complaints had not only been filed against me, but that they had been proven.  My Democrat superiors would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
http://www.businessinsider.com/steven-munoz-sexual-assault-2017-5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A political appointee hired by the Trump administration for a significant State Department role was accused of multiple sexual assaults as a student several years ago at The Citadel military college. Steven Munoz was hired by the Trump administration as assistant chief of visits, running an office of up to 10 staffers charged with the sensitive work of organizing visits of foreign heads of state to the U.S. That includes arranging meetings with the president. At The Citadel, five male freshmen alleged that Munoz used his positions as an upperclassman, class president and head of the campus Republican Society to grope them. In one incident, a student reported waking up with Munoz on top of him, kissing him and grabbing his genitals. In another, on a trip to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., a student said that Munoz jumped on him in bed and he “felt jerking and bouncing on my back.” An investigation by The Citadel later found that “certain assaults likely occurred.” A local prosecutor reviewed the case and declined to seek an indictment. Munoz’s hiring raises questions about the Trump administration’s vetting of political appointees, which has been both slow and spotty, with multiple incidents of staff being fired only weeks into their jobs, including for disloyalty to Trump. The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment. Munoz, a Miami native, worked as a political consultant in South Carolina after graduating from The Citadel in 2011. He was publicly reported to be under investigation the following year around the time he was working for Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign. Stories from that time, which outline some but not all of the allegations against Munoz, are easy to find via a simple Google search.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Before legalizing pot in Illinois, learn from other states – Editorial  (DIERSEN: To promote pot in Illinois is to promote the destruction of Illinois.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/before-legalizing-pot-in-illinois-learn-from-other-states/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Sometimes, when a big new issue presents itself, such as a deadly disease epidemic, lawmakers must respond on the fly. They craft laws without knowing the full facts, taking a gamble on the unintended consequences. When it comes to legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois, precisely the opposite is true. There is no compelling reason to rush a decision, and plenty of reasons not to. To be precise, there are nine excellent reasons not to — eight states plus the District of Columbia, where recreational pot already has been legalized. They offer Illinois a terrific opportunity to sit back, watch and learn. The benefits and dangers of legal pot will become more clear fairly quickly, at which time Illinois can proceed accordingly. In Illinois, two state legislators are proposing to legalize recreational marijuana for people 21 or older. Users would be limited to possessing about an ounce or less and could not drive under the influence of the drug. Lighting up in public would be banned. That sounds reasonable enough, and we certainly understand the attraction of more taxable revenue for our financially troubled state. But skeptics continue to warn of the dangers, such as the potential physiological effects and the questionable message sent to young people about the casual use of drugs. Far better, then, to take a breath. Let’s see how recreational marijuana plays out in, say, Colorado or California. We might also learn a few things from Canada, which is expected to legalize recreational pot soon. If access to recreational pot were a fundamental matter of civil rights, Illinois would be wrong to delay legalization any further. But it is not. The urgency does not rise to the level of, say, legalizing same-sex marriage or eliminating unconstitutional barriers to voting. Canada already has identified some concerns about recreational marijuana that Illinois would have to address. Testing equipment similar to breathalyzers must be developed for marijuana, to guard against increase in impaired drivers. The testing equipment also would have to be made available to many workplaces, such as factories, to safeguard against workplace accidents. Concerns remain whether young people would have easier access to a drug that some scientists warn inhibits brain development. Taking a wait-and-see approach also will allow lawmakers to see how the Trump administration’s plans to enforce federal laws against marijuana play out. The Obama administration’s policy was to avoid interfering with state legalization of non-medical marijuana use. States can’t count on that anymore. Conflicts between federal and state could create huge legal headaches. The strongest argument for legalizing recreational pot in Illinois right now is money. Last year, the state of Colorado pocketed nearly $200 million in tax revenue from recreational marijuana. State Sen. Heather Steans and state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, Chicago Democrats, who are pushing legalization in the General Assembly, expect Illinois would pull in between $350 million and $700 million a year. In one fell swoop, our state’s finances would be in much better shape. But then there is this, again giving us pause: The National Institute on Drug Abuse says marijuana impairs judgment, reaction time and motor coordination. If more motorists use marijuana, more people could die on our highways. A legitimate worry? Or anti-pot alarmism? We don’t know and don’t have to guess. The answer to that question — and many others — will be coming soon enough from those eight other states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Each is a laboratory studying the social and medical impact of recreational pot.)

— College endowments hope for rebound after worst year since financial crisis – Becky Yerak
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-illinois-college-endowments-down-0430-biz-20170428-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton College this year plans to spend about $17.9 million of its endowment, a 4.6 percent spending rate, up from $17.2 million last year. Endowment spending covers 14 percent of the Christian liberal arts school’s annual budget and helps pay for scholarships, faculty positions — including research — as well as academic programs, facility maintenance and general operations. Financial aid and scholarships represent the biggest piece of Wheaton’s endowment spending, about 38 percent. That amount, $6.8 million, has been growing in both dollars and percentage of endowment spending. The latest round will provide scholarships for about 800 students out of a total student body of 2,650 students. But like Northwestern, Wheaton saw its endowment shrink last year, dropping 5.3 percent, to $388 million. Nevertheless, Wheaton still boosted its financial aid from all sources, including the endowment, by 3.7 percent in 2017 and plans to spend even more next year, investment manager Kenneth Larson said.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Powerful pols got in on illegal state hiring scheme – Jim Dey  (DIERSEN: In Diersen v. GAO, all of the following made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation: the District Court Judge Amy J. St. Eve and the U.S. Attorney for GAO Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald who appointed the aforesaid, and the 7th Circuit Appellate Court Justices.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/2017-04-30/jim-dey-powerful-pols-got-illegal-state-hiring-scheme.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Patronage hiring, like that on display in the IDOT episode, is illegal as a consequence of a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. As a consequence of that decision, the high court banned the practice with the exception of a handful of top policy positions in the upper reaches of the executive departments. Those appointed top management positions are called “Rutan-exempt” while lower-level jobs are labeled “Rutan-covered.” To get around the law, top Quinn officials created Rutan-exempt “staff assistant” positions who did “Rutan-covered” work and filled them with clouted job-seekers. Later, Quinn’s people would transfer the staff assistants into legitimate Rutan-covered positions after conducting phony jobs searches. In favoring those with clout, state officials squandered state dollars on unqualified individuals. IDOT also put others seeking state employment at an impossible disadvantage.)

— Can you actually become a millionaire on an average salary? – Christy Bieber
http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/28/pf/millionaire-average-salary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Becoming a millionaire has long been part of the American dream, but saving $1 million is not just an idle fantasy for most Americans. Saving at least $1 million is a dream many feel must come true if they’re going to have a comfortable retirement. In fact, of the Americans who have attempted to figure out how much they must save for retirement, 37% believe they need at least $1 million, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Saving enough for retirement is a significant source of stress, and it’s natural to worry about reaching a savings goal of $1 million. Banking this much money may seem impossible on an average person’s salary, but could it actually be realistic? Can the average person, without a big inheritance or a lucky lotto win, become a millionaire? Can you actually become a millionaire on an average salary? There are a lot of factors that determine whether you can save $1 million or not, including how much you can invest and how fast those investments grow. The biggest factor, however, is your age when you start saving.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Newly minted Cook County judge who refused traffic court duty quits bench – Steve Schmadeke  (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS.  The Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1980 did not want me to transfer from IRS to GAO. They thought that their forcing me to take an $18,847 (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO would keep me at IRS, but they were wrong. They knew that I wanted to be assigned to audits of IRS so that I could use my 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 $79,563-$90,173. So to get me to go back to IRS, they succeeded in keeping me off IRS audits until the end of 1985 when the GAO manager who had hired me finally succeeded in a) getting me assigned to audits of IRS and b) promoting me to GS-13, currently $94,610. But then, in 1987, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office succeeded in forcing him to retire. At the end of 1988,  they threw me off audits of IRS and during 1989, they did everything that they could to get rid of me.  Were it not for Henry Hyde’s intervention, they might very well have succeeded.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-judge-cooke-resigns-traffic-court-met-20170428-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new Cook County judge who for months defied orders from his supervisors to work in traffic court has resigned, according to an Illinois Supreme Court spokesman.  Richard Cooke stepped down from his $194,000-a-year post two days after a committee of 17 Cook County presiding judges voted to refer his “non-compliance with reporting to a judicial assignment” to the state agency that investigates allegations of judicial misconduct. The resignation was “effective at the end of business on Tuesday,” Chris Bonjean, a state Supreme Court spokesman, wrote in an email to the Tribune on Friday. The committee acted about a week after the Tribune began asking questions about the judge. On the same day it referred Cooke, the body also assigned Judge Jessica O’Brien, a small-claims court judge who was recently indicted on federal mortgage fraud charges, to administrative duties. His resignation means the Judicial Inquiry Board no longer has any authority over Cooke, 50, who ran unopposed in a Northwest Side subcircuit after lending his campaign an unprecedented $660,000. If the inquiry board had filed charges, Cooke could have been sanctioned or even removed from the bench.)

They would bring up a) that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) that my Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Mexico, ‘It’s Easy to Kill a Journalist’ – AZAM AHMED  (DIERSEN: Are you a journalist? I am; I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.  If you are a journalist, how do those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois treat you? I should write a book about those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois, their operatives, and their dupes and how they have tried to kill me figuratively if not literally.  The aforesaid 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, and/or d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed and/or they are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/29/world/americas/veracruz-mexico-reporters-killed.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The reasons for such killings are often varied: cartel assassins annoyed at aggressive coverage, corrupt public officials targeting critics to silence them, random violence and even reporters crossing over into the criminal worlds they cover. But according to government data, public servants like mayors and police officers have threatened journalists more often than drug cartels, petty criminals or anyone else in recent years, imperiling investigations and raising questions about the government’s commitment to exposing the culprits. Cases include journalists tortured or killed at the behest of mayors, reporters beaten by armed men in their newsrooms on the order of local officials, and police officers threatening to kill journalists for covering the news. But of the more than 800 serious cases of harassment, assault or homicide committed against journalists in the past six years, the federal office created to prosecute crimes against the freedom of expression has convicted suspects in only two.)
— As College Deadlines Near, Families Wonder What They Can Pay – RON LIEBER  (DIERSEN: Did you expect your parents to pay for your bachelor’s degree?  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; she was a housewife and homemaker.  My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, never earned more than $40,000 a year in today’s dollars, did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. I paid for my bachelor’s degree and for new cars with money that I earned washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assemble line, and working as a security guard.  My outstanding parents provided me with room and board during my first 2 years at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970.)

FOX NEWS ILLINOIS
— Abortion Bill Passes in the Illinois House Tuesday – Em Nguyen
http://foxillinois.com/news/local/abortion-bill-passes-in-the-illinois-house-tuesday
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Who are we as a culture when we can’t even recognize the humanity of an unborn child?” and “How we can say we care about the most vulnerable among us when we have limited funds anyway?” Republican State Representative Terri Bryant said the policy is “ridiculous”. “It expands abortion in the state of Illinois.” Bryant said. “And shouldn’t be a part of providing free abortions to whoever wants them at any stage of a pregnancy for any reason.” The bill ensures public money to pay for women’s health services, including abortion, something Springfield’s “Right to Life” is against. “We are saddened,” President of the organization, Tim Moore, said. “By the passage of abortion legislation that redefines when human life begins and seeks additional means of killing that life. The same group of politicians want taxpayers to fund these abhorrent practices.” Just last week, Governor Bruce Rauner pledged to veto the bill because of the public money involved. But after working on the bill for three years, Representative Feigenholtz said she will keep pushing for it anyway. “I’m hoping that once it gets to his desk,” she said. “That 250,000 women will knock on his door, and say, sign the bill, and he would change his mind,” Illinois Republican Party National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte responded: “Instead of working to solve our state’s catastrophic challenges, Madigan Democrats just passed a radical bill for taxpayer funded abortions, at a cost of $60 million, while we don’t have a budget. Springfield yet again shows it’s tone-deaf to the concerns of Illinoisans.” Before landing on the Governor’s desk, the bill will still have to pass in the Senate.)

Then, my former Firestone boss offered me a part-time job which I accepted pumping gasoline.  I held that job until the end of 1972.)

I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class.  My ACT was only 24. Neither of my parents had attended college.  My father had fought type 1 diabetes from age 14 and made only about $40,000/year in today’s dollars.  My mother never attended high school and was a housewife/homemaker.  My vision was never correctable to 20/20 and I have always had partial red/green color blindness.  I had demonstrated no leadership potential in high school; I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. Upon graduation from high school, I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, and delivered mail.)

USA TODAY
— The future of jobs: More men doing ‘women’s work’ – Jon Swartz  (DIERSEN: What jobs have you held?  Because all the jobs that I held 1964-1997 were bad ‘men’s work’ jobs, with the exception of the first job that I held, my superiors always had an extremely hard time getting women to take those jobs.  My first job, a ‘women’s work’ and a ‘minorities work’ job washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 was so bad that women and minorities would not take/keep the job.  My understanding is that I was the first and only White male to hold that job and that I held it longer (18 months) than anyone else. The bad ‘men’s work’ jobs that held after were cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent taxes, and auditing federal agencies.)

— Older Workers Challenge Firms’ Aggressive Pursuit of the Young  In one class action against PricewaterhouseCoopers, two men say they were rejected because they lacked the youthful profile possessed by many PwC recruits – Jacob Gershman  (DIERSEN: How old are you? Democrats use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Non-veteran White males who are seeking a job with the federal government should be advised that with only rare exceptions, a) your career will be wasted and you will be gotten rid of if you do not make GS-13 ($94,610) by age 25, GS-14 ($111,801) by age 30, GS-15 ($131,508) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($161,900) by age 40 and b) you will be expected to help your superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates shouted that I could never have a successful GAO career, that is, that GAO could and should waste my career and get rid of me.  They stressed a) that I was a Republican, b) that I was 31 years old, c) that I was White, d) that I was a male, e) that I was not a veteran, and f) that GAO forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9, Step 10, currently $71,326, to transfer from IRS to GAO.)
