(FROM THE ARTICLE: Will County officials are considering a plan in which they may opt out of their participation in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, in the wake of a new law that bans newly elected board members from the state pension program. Members of the county board’s executive committee voted to recommend a resolution eliminating the IMRF pension for all county board members, effective Nov. 30. It’s expected to be voted on by the full board at its Sept. 15 meeting. “People should not be coming here to get a pension,” said board member Mike Fricilone, who made the motion to drop the pension benefit, saying Will County should take the lead on this issue. Currently, county officials reported that 17 of the county’s 26 board members participate in the IMRF pension program and the county pays 11.6 percent of a member’s annual salary of $23,000 into the IMRF. Members pay 4.5 percent of their paychecks, according to the IMRF.)

http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2016-09-08/man-would-rather-get-fired-watch-diversity-video.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Social Security Administration employee who believes he shouldn’t have to watch a workplace diversity video about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, because it violates his religious beliefs, fears he may lose his job because of it. David Hall, 42, of Tolono has worked for the federal agency for 14 years, based in the Champaign office as an area systems coordinator, an information technology position. In late April, Hall said, employees nationwide received an email from the agency about a 17-minute LGBT diversity and inclusion training video that they were told to watch at their work stations. Employees were required to certify that they had seen the video. Hall said he is a Christian — “not anti-anyone or anything,” but “for God, for Jesus” — and believes the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin. So, he didn’t watch it. His supervisor gave him direct orders to do so — first on June 2, then again on June 24. Again, Hall refused both times. As a result, an official reprimand was placed in his file — the first he has ever received, he says — and he was suspended without pay for two days, Aug. 15-16. Part of his problem, he said, is that viewing the video is mandatory, something he doesn’t remember the agency doing with other training videos in the past. So, he asked his supervisors for a religious accommodation to abstain from the training, which was denied. After his suspension, Hall returned to work on Aug. 17. He said his supervisor has explained he will receive further discipline, possibly a longer suspension without pay, if he does not complete the video. Hall said he eventually expects he will lose his job over his refusal to do so. “I think this is an issue they are prepared to go to the mat with, but I’m not going to give up my faith or compromise my beliefs just to go along and get along. I don’t believe God wants me to do that,” Hall said. Responding to questions from The News-Gazette on Wednesday, Doug Nguyen, communications director for the SSA’s Chicago region, wrote in an emailed statement that “in support of an inclusive work environment, as well as exemplary customer service, the Social Security Administration recently announced a diversity and inclusion training on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community to our employees. “This mandatory video training reminds our employees of their responsibility, as representatives of the agency, to provide the highest levels of service to our customers,” Nguyen went on to say. “The training includes a brief session on tips for increasing cultural awareness in a diverse and inclusive environment. We are unable to comment on specific personnel matters.” Because of what he described as deeply held religious beliefs, Hall said he cannot bring himself to comply. He said he believes the Constitution grants him certain rights and religious freedoms, just as it grants certain rights to others. Hall said he supports the rights of the LGBT community to support its position, too, and not asking those who work for the federal government to change their views or lose their jobs. “I’m not judging the LGBT community … But I believe tolerance is a two-way street,” Hall said. “Unfortunately, I believe they’re wrong. But neither of us should lose our jobs or livelihood for our beliefs. “For me, I know I’m not a martyr or a bigot. I’m not asking for anyone’s approval or forgiveness; I’m simply trying to live out my life, my faith and be obedient to the will of God.” Hall said he has prayed about this issue and talked it over with friends and family, including his wife and three kids. With a family to support, a mortgage, car payment and health insurance through his job, Hall said he is taking a risk making this stand. And he said he doesn’t anticipate his supervisors changing their course, eventually leading to him losing his job. “This is something I want to fight and expose,” Hall said, “to give other Christians the courage of their convictions. I can’t tell you how many I’ve worked with that have told me, ‘Dave, we agree with you 100 percent. I wish I had the courage to do that.’ But they’re scared. … Their fears are being realized through me.” Hall said Jason Craddock, a private Chicago attorney, is advising him. Craddock also recently represented the owner of Ford County’s Timber Creek Bed and Breakfast, who objected to hosting same-sex weddings for religious reasons. Earlier this year, the B&B near Paxton that turned down a same-sex couple’s request to hold a civil-union ceremony there in 2011 was ordered by an administrative law judge to pay $30,000 in damages to the couple and $50,000 to their attorneys and to stop violating the Illinois Human Rights Act by denying couples access to the facility based on their sexual orientation. Craddock said he and Hall are still looking at options on how to proceed with the SSA. He said there are many previous cases involving Christians objecting to participating in activities they consider to be sinful, and they are persecuted in the workplace as a result. “Unfortunately, it’s happening more frequently as time goes on,” Craddock said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal employee would rather lose his job at an Illinois Social Security Administration office than view a mandatory workplace diversity video about LGBT inclusion. David Hall, 42, told the News-Gazette that the prejudiced protest over the video is because “I don’t believe God wants me to do that.” Hall said that SSA employees nationwide received an email in late April informing them that watching the 17-minute LGBT diversity video was a requirement and that supervisors would have to certify that everyone had seen it.

Because of his refusal, Hall was suspended without pay from Aug. 15-16 and now is prepared to lose his job for his senseless stand. Hall has hired an attorney and requested a religious accommodation to opt-out of watching the video, but has been denied. “This is something I want to fight and expose,” Hall said, “to give other Christians the courage of their convictions.

THE HILL
— Donald Trump breathes life into GOP, resurrects Party of Lincoln – Doug Ibendahl
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/294842-donald-trump-breathes-life-into-gop-resurrects-party-of-lincoln
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two blocks from where I live in Chicago, history was made 156 years ago this past May. The southeast corner of what is now Lake Street and Wacker Drive in the Loop was the site of the Republican National Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. The Republican Party was just six years old in 1860 and Chicago business leaders had hastily constructed an all-wooden structure to attract what was only the second Republican National Convention. Known as the Wigwam, the building was always intended to be temporary, and from all accounts it sounds like it was a bit of a firetrap. But it served its purpose well that year when well over 10,000 delegates and spectators crammed the facility to the rafters. Lincoln himself did not travel to Chicago and instead remained in Springfield where he anxiously monitored reports from his operatives via telegraph. Back then it was considered bad form for any potential nominee to be present at the convention. Lincoln eventually secured the nomination on the third ballot. In Lincoln’s time there was nothing resembling the state-by-state primary system we have today. Back then the good-old-boys procured delegates in the smoke-filled rooms. After the convention the Wigwam saw other uses but it soon fell into disrepair. Fire did finally claim the structure in 1867 (four years prior to the Great Chicago Fire). The only hint remaining of the Wigwam and what happened there is a plaque along the sidewalk in front of a modern office tower at 191 N. Wacker Drive, installed when the location was designated a Chicago Landmark in 2002. We all know what happened after that 1860 convention. Lincoln went on to become one of, if not our greatest President. He freed the slaves, won the Civil War, and saved the Union. Grateful African-Americans made the Republican Party their home for generations. And across the country, GOP organizations at all levels still strap themselves to Lincoln’s mantle at every opportunity. Here in his home-state the annual Lincoln Day Dinner is often the only fundraising event a county Republican organization has. So we all know about the lip service. But how is the Party of Lincoln actually doing in the Land of Lincoln when it comes to preserving the leader’s legacy? Judging by all of the empirical evidence, not so well. The GOP’s good-old-boys of today would make the good-old-boys back in the Wigwam blush. It’s hardly news that black voters these days have rewarded the GOP with paltry support every Election Day. Hispanic participation in the Illinois GOP isn’t much better. And let’s face it, participation in the Republican Party by white Illinoisans hasn’t exactly been anything to brag about either.  So what does Donald Trump have to do with all of this? A lot. In our lifetime we have never had a Republican nominee who so gets it about the rigged system. And Mr. Trump is addressing the problem on two levels. Trump has masterfully attacked the rigged system within both major political parties, and even better, he does a wonderful job exposing the rigged elements within our global economic system. He hits both themes at pretty much every one of his huge rallies. Some say Trump is not a free trader. In truth Trump does believe in free trade, but it has to be fair trade. Overly complex trade agreements entered into by weak U.S. representatives who got bamboozled at the negotiating table have delivered deals which are disadvantageous to the average American. Trade resulting from these bad deals is neither fair nor free. Donald Trump literally wrote the book on negotiation. Granted, as President he won’t have the luxury of being able to sit at every negotiating table. But hiring is another arena where Trump excels. He’ll bring on the best people and replace the pushovers with tough, seasoned professionals. It’s all about bringing back jobs and getting America working again. Donald Trump is a builder and he knows how to inspire. From a speech in June: “Americans are the people that tamed the West, that dug out the Panama Canal, that sent satellites across the solar system, that built the great dams and so much more. Then we really started thinking small. Something happened. Something happened to our mentality. We started thinking small. We stopped believing in what America could do, and became reliant on other countries, other people and other institutions. We lost our sense of purpose and daring. But that’s not who we are.”  Trump wants to keep building big things, and that’s a message that resonates with African-Americans and Hispanics as much as with anyone else. He’s been refreshingly honest about how his life up to now has been about accumulating wealth for himself and his family. Now at 70 years of age he wants to devote his skill set to helping all Americans climb the economic ladder. Every election cycle Republican candidates talk about reaching out to minority communities – but that’s all it’s been, talk. In Mr. Trump we finally have a standard-bearer who can back-up the rhetoric with a decades-long record of creating thousands of real jobs for men and women of all races and creeds. On the opposite bank of the Chicago River and just half-a-dozen blocks away from the site of Lincoln’s nomination is Trump International Hotel and Tower. The second tallest building in the City, it’s also considerably safer and more permanent than the old Wigwam. The betterment which a Trump Administration will bring to the lives of all Americans left behind and taken-for-granted by the politicians of both parties can be just as strong and permanent. And in four years Mr. Lincoln might just recognize that party of freedom, opportunity, and inclusiveness which he helped found.)

NEW YORK POST
— Gambling idiot blows $1 million on lottery tickets, loses everything  Adam Osmond was a convenience store owner in Connecticut who suffered from a compulsive gambling addiction that cost him thousands of dollars each week, his business and his family. Osmond was ordered by a Connecticut court to pay the sum of lotto tickets he printed at his store, but after seven years, a second judge found the penalty to be illegal. Osmond eventually discovered running and is now an avid runner who helps other recovering gambling addicts.

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY
— Diversity — History’s Pathway To Chaos – Victor Davis Hanson  (DIERSEN: To promote diversity is to promote discrimination.  To promote diversity is a) to promote giving preference to those who are minority, female, and/or younger, and therefore b) to promote discrimination against those who are White, male, and/or older. Because I have always opposed such discrimination, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and counties that promote diversity have always worked against me.)
http://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/victor-davis-hanson-diversity-historys-pathway-to-chaos/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Emphasizing diversity has been the pitfall, not the strength, of nations throughout history.  The Roman Empire worked as long as Iberians, Greeks, Jews, Gauls and myriad other African, Asian and European communities spoke Latin, cherished habeas corpus and saw being Roman as preferable to identifying with their own particular tribe. By the fifth century, diversity had won out but would soon prove a fatal liability. Rome disintegrated when it became unable to assimilate new influxes of northern European tribes. Newcomers had no intention of giving up their Gothic, Hunnish or Vandal identities. The propaganda of history’s multicultural empires — the Ottoman, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian, the British and the Soviet — was never the strength of their diversity. To avoid chaos, their governments bragged about the religious, ideological or royal advantages of unity, not diversity. Nor did more modern quagmires like Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Rwanda or Yugoslavia boast that they were “diverse.” Instead, their strongman leaders naturally claimed that they shared an all-encompassing commonality. When such coerced harmony failed, these nations suffered the even worse consequences of diversity, as tribes and sects turned murderously upon each other. For some reason, contemporary America believes that it can reject its uniquely successful melting pot to embrace a historically dangerous and discredited salad-bowl separatism. Is there any evidence from the past that institutionalizing sects and ethnic grievances would ensure a nation’s security, prosperity and freedom? America’s melting pot is history’s sole exception of E pluribus unum inclusivity: a successful multiracial society bound by a common culture, language and values. But this is a historic aberration with a future that is now in doubt. Some students attending California’s Claremont College openly demand roommates of the same race. Racially segregated “safe spaces” are fixtures on college campuses. We speak casually of bloc voting on the basis of skin color — as if a lockstep Asian, Latino, black or white vote is a good thing. We are reverting to the nihilism of the old Confederacy. The South’s “one-drop rule” has often been copied to assure employers or universities that one qualifies as a minority. Some public figures have sought to play up or invent diversity advantages. Sometimes, as in the cases of Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal and Ward Churchill, the result is farce. Given our racial fixations, we may soon have to undergo computer scans of our skin colors to rank competing claims of grievance. How does one mete out the relative reparations for various atrocities of the past, such as slavery, the Holocaust, the American Indian wars, the Asian or Catholic exclusion laws, indentured servitude, or the mid-18th-century belief that the Irish were not quite human? Sanctuary cities, in the manner of 1850s Richmond or Charleston invoking nullification, now openly declare themselves immune from federal law. Does that defiance ensure every city the right to ignore whatever federal laws it finds inconvenient, from the filing of 1040s to voting laws. The diversity industry hinges on U.S. citizens still envisioning a shrinking white population as the “majority.” Yet “white” is now not always easily definable, given intermarriage and constructed identities. In California, those who check “white” on Orwellian racial boxes are now a minority. Will white Californians soon nightmarishly declare themselves aggrieved minorities and thus demand affirmative action, encourage Viking-like names such as Ragnar or Odin, insert umlauts and diereses into their names to hype their European bona fides, seek segregated European-American dorms and set up “Caucasian Studies” programs at universities? Women now graduate from college at a higher rate than men. Will there be a male effort to ensure affirmative action for college admissions and graduation rates? If the white vote reaches 70% for a particular candidate, is that really such a good thing, as it was considered to be when President Obama was praised for capturing 95% of the black vote? It is time to step back from the apartheid brink. Even onetime diversity advocate Oprah Winfrey has had second thoughts about the lack of commonality in America. She recently vowed to quit using the word “diversity” and now prefers “inclusion.” A Latino-American undergraduate who is a student of Shakespeare is not “culturally appropriating” anyone’s white-European legacy, but instead seeking transcendence of ideas and a common humanity. Asian-Americans are not “overrepresented” at premier campuses. Their high-profile presence should be praised as a model, not punished as aberrant by number-crunching bureaucrats. African-Americans who excel in physics and engineering are not “acting white” but finding the proper pathways for their natural talents. Being one-half Southeast Asian or three-quarters white is not the touchstone to one’s essence and is irrelevant to one’s character and conduct. No one is impinging on anyone’s culture when blacks dye their hair blond, or when blondes prefer to wear cornrow braids. Campuses desperately need unity czars, not diversity czars. Otherwise, we will end up as 50 separate and rival nations — just like other failed states in history whose diverse tribes and races destroyed themselves in a Hobbesian dog-eat-dog war with one another.)

ABC7
— RAUNER JOINS NAPERVILLE LABOR DAY PARADE
http://abc7chicago.com/society/rauner-joins-naperville-labor-day-parade/1499027/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner joined the Labor Day parade in Naperville on Monday along with dozens of groups from the town. Parade participants included Naperville bands, dance crews, veterans’ organizations and first responders riding on fire trucks with their families. Gov. Rauner also took part in the parade festivities. Some might call that a contradiction because the governor is trying to weaken unions and the labor movement in Illinois. When questioned about that criticism, Rauner responded: “What I’m all about is growing the Illinois economy, making sure we are very competitive, more jobs and that we’ve got high family incomes. We do that through strong economic growth. That’s everything we are pushing for.” The parade took a one mile route from Naperville North to Naperville Central High School.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rauner, long at odds with unions, goes parading on Labor Day – Stefano Esposito
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-long-at-odds-with-unions-goes-parading-on-labor-day/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even though union leaders have branded him the anti-organized labor governor, Bruce Rauner confidently stepped onto the streets of downtown Naperville Monday for the huge suburb’s Labor Day parade. For the most part, the Republican governor was well-received as he jogged along the parade route kicking off what traditionally has been the start of the fall campaign season, which could be among the most expensive in Illinois history. The governor has promised to go “toe-to-toe” to oust Democrats during the November elections. Democrats — led by Rauner’s nemesis, Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan — have supermajorities in both the House and Senate, stifling the governor in his bid to enact his so-called turnaround agenda. Rauner so far has contributed about $10 million from his campaign fund to help the Republican cause in November. Asked by reporters before the parade about his battles with Democrats and Democratic-leaning labor leaders, Rauner turned the issue to the economy. “What I’m all about is growing the Illinois economy, making sure we’re very competitive, that we’ve got lots of jobs and that we’ve got higher family incomes,” Rauner told reporters. “We do that through strong economic growth, and that’s everything we’re pushing for.” Rauner took to the streets of Naperville with his wife, first lady Diana Rauner. “Thanks for trying to clean up the mess,” called out Dan Krush, 56, of Naperville, as Rauner passed. “You guys are doing a great job. Stay strong. Someone has to save us from the Madigan madness,” said Mary Derwinski, also of Naperville. And so it went for most of the parade route. There was the occasional dissenting voice, though. “Save our pension, Bruce!” shouted Jim Geovanes, 42, a teacher at Oak Park and River Forest High School, who said he’s not a Rauner fan and thinks teachers are being overlooked in the Springfield budget squabbles. “I have no political lines,” Geovanes said. “I just want what’s due to us and owed to us, and want the state to fund that pension to make sure teachers get what they deserve.”)

http://peoriapublicradio.org/post/governor-rauner-joins-labor-day-parade#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois governor Bruce Rauner joined a Labor Day parade today in friendly territory, west-suburban Naperville.  Rauner is not seen as a friend of organized labor.  But he got cheers at this heavily Republican parade, marching amidst the high school bands and dance teams. “Enjoy Labor Day! Happy parade!” Jim Caffray, a home remodeler from Oswego, says he likes that the governor is fighting the democratic machine.  There’s no unions in this Labor Day parade. “I think that’s great, actually. Because I think the unions have been destroying this country for 50 years now.” There were still union supporters in the crowd. A Batavia public school teacher greeted Rauner like this: “Go UNIONS! IEA, NEA! Support the teachers—they’re our future!”  Rauner remains locked in a prolonged fight with the state workers’ union.)

The Princeton Review has included the college on a similar list, along with ranking it high in religious students and low in alcohol and drug use on campus. “Wheaton strives to treat all people with respect,” college spokeswoman LaTonya Taylor said in a statement. Students and staff affirm a Community Covenant that Taylor describes as a “voluntary social compact” expressing “the commitments and values consistent with the community’s shared Christian faith.” The college, she says, is committed to chastity among the unmarried and the sanctity of marriage between a man and woman. “Some perceive our commitment to this Christian sexual ethic as unfriendly toward the LGBTQ community. Our aim is to stand respectfully and graciously for God’s truth.”

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/sns-201608311400–tms–cthomastq–b-a20160901-20160901-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As World Magazine editor Marvin Olasky points out in the publication’s Sept. 3 issue, “Millions of Americans are here because their ancestors signed ‘declarations of intention’ similar to what Trump is suggesting.”  Olasky found the declaration of intention Albert Einstein signed in 1936. He became a U.S. citizen four years later. Here is what it said: “I will, before being admitted to citizenship, renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty. … I am not an anarchist; I am not a polygamist nor a believer in the practice of polygamy.” Olasky writes that his immigrant grandfather signed a similar declaration in 1914. A century ago, he says, “anarchist” was the equivalent of today’s terrorist. Some anarchists planted bombs, one assassinated President William McKinley. Olasky continues: “Since Sharia law allows and even proposes polygamy as an act of justice, U.S. law excluded Muslims who embraced it. There were to be no divided loyalties.” In order for Utah to enter the Union, the state had to renounce polygamy, a doctrine believed and practiced at that time by some Mormons. President Obama is admitting people into America who believe in Sharia law, and the polygamy it allows. “No divided loyalties” was the key phrase in Olasky’s last sentence. How long ago and far away that seems today when our loyalties are more divided than at any time since the Civil War. Diversity has replaced unity and hyphenated identifiers now divide races and ethnic groups. “Out of many, one” is fading as our national motto. Out of one, many, is rapidly becoming our new one. Much of mainstream media fuel the division because conflict sells. They promote our flaws instead of the phrase from “America the Beautiful,” one of our great patriotic hymns, “God mend thine every flaw.” Instead, too many seem intent on exposing, even promoting, new flaws and dividing us further. Who will love America if we don’t? Who will sacrifice their lives for freedom if not us? We had better realize America is something special, or risk losing it.)

— Where do Fortune 500 CEOs come from? Harvard and Stanford, by far – Becky Yerak  (DIERSEN: Do you have a degree from an Ivy League University?  I do not.  I worked for GAO 1980-1997.  When Charles Bowsher took over GAO in 1981 and ran it for the next 15 years, he focused on upgrading GAO’s employees, that is, he focused hiring, retaining, and promoting employees who had degrees from Ivy League universities.  Of course, needless-to-say, my degrees from NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT became worthless in GAO’s eyes.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-fortune-ceo-colleges-0901-biz-20160831-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The University of Chicago is known for Nobel Prize-winning economists, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has bragging rights to several technology visionaries. But when it comes to producing the Fortune 500’s current crop of chief executives, Illinois’ institutions of higher learning come up short. No college in Illinois cracks the top 10 list of the alma maters of today’s captains of industry, according to a newly released analysis by Equilar.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I avoided the draft, that is, because I am a draft dodger, I was able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, d) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, c) buy a studio condo in the Outer Drive East (ODE) building in 1974, d) buy a one bedroom condo in the ODE building in 1976, e) graduate from NIU in 1970 debt-free, f) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, g) etc.  They hint/imply/argue/shout that if I had avoid the draft, that is, if had not become a draft dodger, I provably would have suffered serious injuries or I would have been killed in Vietnam.)
