AMERICAN GENIUS
— The top 5 reasons to reject a job offer Don’t make a mistake and accept a job offer you’ll regret – here’s what to look out for. – Dawn Brotherton (DIERSEN: I knew that I would not “fit in” at the Post Office, IRS, and GAO a) because I have always been a conservative Republican, b) because I was a draft avoider, c) because I opposed patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and d) because my other demographics (White, male, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, American-nameplate car owner, etc.) were terrible. Nevertheless, I accepted job offers from the Post Office, IRS, and GAO because I erroneously counted on “civil service protections” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_civil_service) to protect me. Further, the main reason why I accepted the Post Office’s job offer in 1966 was that I needed money to pay for college expenses. Further, the main reason why I accepted IRS’s job offer in 1971 was that I was unemployed and I needed money to help support my mother and brother. Further, the main reason why I accepted GAO’s job offer in 1980 was that my Democrat IRS superiors had made it very clear that they were going to get rid of me.)

ABC7
— Man plans to spend retirement at the Holiday Inn because it’s cheaper (DIERSEN: My 88-year-old aunt is paying $252 per day at an assisted living facility.)
https://abc7chicago.com/society/man-plans-holiday-inn-retirement-because-its-cheaper/5157421/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Robison wrote on Facebook that the average cost of nursing home care is about $188 per day. A long-term stay with a senior discount at Holiday Inn, on the other hand, is $59.23 per day. “That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies,” he wrote. “Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc.” The benefits of Holiday Inn, Robison added, also include free toothpaste, razors, shampoo and soap. An additional $5 a day in tips will “have the entire staff scrambling to help you” as well, he wrote. “They treat you like a customer, not a patient,” he said. Holiday Inn also provides a spa, swimming pool, gym, lounge and washer-dryers, but the amenities don’t stop there. The location where Robison checked out reservations has a city bus stop right in front, where seniors can ride for free. In addition, guests can “take the airport shuttle bus” to eat at one of the restaurants at the local airport for “a change of scenery,” he wrote. From there, they can take a flight to another Holiday Inn as well, he mused. “You’re not stuck in one place forever — you can move from Inn or Inn, or even from city to city,” he wrote. The competition to find a comfortable room isn’t as steep either, Robison wrote. “It takes months to get into decent nursing homes,” he wrote. “Holiday Inn will take your reservation today.” The maintenance is virtually nonexistent, Robison figured. “TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem,” Robison wrote. “They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.” Robison did not mention what kind of health he is in, but said staff like a security guard or maid could check to see if he is OK as well as call an ambulance or an undertaker, whichever is needed. “If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life,” he wrote, adding that he’d face his “golden age” with “a grin.” A representative for InterContinental Hotels Group, which Holiday Inn is a subsidiary of, did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.)

Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Venezuelan government briefly detained Jorge Ramos, the star Spanish-language television journalist, during an interview with the country’s embattled president, Nicolas Maduro. Ramos and the Univision News television crew accompanying him were subsequently released. The journalists were detained nearly three hours at Venezuela’s presidential palace after Maduro bristled over Ramos’ questions, a Univision News representative said late Monday. “They have now been released, but their equipment and interview material has been confiscated,” Univision News spokesman Jose Zamora said in an email to The Times. “They will be deported from Venezuela in the morning. It has been a clear attack against freedom of the press.”)

GUARDIAN
— Univision’s Jorge Ramos detained in Venezuela after Maduro interview, network says Anchor, who has reportedly been released, asked question embattled leader did not approve of, according to Univision executive – Joe Parkin Daniels (DIERSEN: If you want to demonize, denigrate, and condemn someone, you call them “combative.” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would call me “combative.”)
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/25/jorge-ramos-univision-detained-venezuela-maduro-interview
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has been detained in the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, Venezuela, the network announced on Monday evening. The Mexican-born journalist was interviewing Venezuela’s embattled president Nicolás Maduro when he and his crew were detained after asking a question the combative Maduro did not approve of, according to a tweet by the network’s US president, Daniel Coronell. The team’s equipment had also been confiscated, Coronell said. Coronell later said Ramos and his team had been released and he had spoken to the journalist. The equipment as well as the material that upset Maduro were confiscated. Reuters reported that Venezuela was going to deport the group. Ramos told Univision that the offending line of questioning came when he showed Maduro images taken on Ramos’ phone of Venezuelans eating out of the trash to prove people were living a humanitarian crisis. Ramos is arguably the best-known journalist in the Spanish-speaking world. He has gained particular notoriety for regularly locking horns with Donald Trump, who had him ejected from a press conference while on the campaign trail in 2015. The have since sparred over the US president’s proposed border wall among other contentious issues.)

— Downplay if not ignore strengths that Republican candidates have;

— Downplay if not ignore weaknesses that Democrat candidates have;

 

— Highlight if not stress strengths that Democrat candidates have, for example, they are unflappable, they get along;

UHCL SIGNAL
— Labor laws fall short for college students – Shelby Schillings
https://uhclthesignal.com/wordpress/2019/02/25/labor-laws-fall-short-for-college-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College students are overworked at part-time jobs. When asked about work complaints, students who were interviewed for this article mentioned their employers didn’t offer breaks, regularly shortened break time, disregarded previous schedule agreements and required them to work shifts less than 12 hours apart. How does this impact a student’s academic success and what can be done to help the current state of labor laws? These conditions may seem unfair or even illegal; however, these issues are completely acceptable under Texas law as Texas does not require that employers offer breaks, strictly stick to agreed work schedules or give workers fair time between shifts. To be clear, the law does require that employees be paid for short breaks throughout the day if the employer chooses to allow them, it does not require them to provide those breaks.)

(THE ARTICLE: From what I see, if I ran for an office, the Daily Herald would not endorse me for the following reasons: I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 21 years, childless, pet-less, American-nameplate car owner, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. The Daily herald would stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. The Daily Herald would stress that ICRC almost censured me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and that I lost 69 to 13 when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004. The Daily Herald would stress a) that GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job; b) that IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job; and c) that the Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Daily Herald would stress a) that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) 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 in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. The Daily Herald would stress that religious, conservative, and Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have virtually never come to my defense. The Daily Herald would stress that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. The Daily Herald would stress the very few times that my rude, condescending, bombastic, nasty, vicious, and threatening critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have succeeded in getting me to raise my voice. The Daily Herald would stress the lawsuits that I have filed. The Daily Herald would hint/imply/argue/shout that because of the aforesaid, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FBI’s Most Wanted: More Applicants for Special Agents Tight labor market has forced the bureau to double down on recruitment efforts; CEOs, physicists and school therapists are encouraged to apply – Aruna Viswanatha and Byron Tau (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Democrats run the federal government. Since the 1960s, to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young females, the federal government has constantly lowered its hiring, retention, and promotion requirements and made them more subjective. For example, passing the CPA examination is no longer a requirement for many positions.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/fbis-most-wanted-more-applicants-for-special-agents-11551023975

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The FBI has thus far been able to maintain its hiring levels despite the slump, agency officials said. But there is also a growing recognition that the traditional enticement of FBI employment isn’t as strong as it once was. “The way that government recruits people is they give you more interesting work, particularly more interesting work at a more youthful point in your career,” said Michael German, a former FBI agent who is now a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice. But as competition for applicants has increased, more employers are offering qualified candidates attractive work opportunities—often at much higher pay levels than starting FBI salaries. Adding to the FBI’s recruitment challenge is a consistently high demand for new applicants in part because of the bureau’s mandatory retirements—agents are required to retire at 57, and can collect pensions after 20 years of service. The challenges have prompted the FBI to overhaul its entire recruiting process over the past six months, Mr. Sursi said. Recent changes include reducing applicants’ previous work requirements from three years to two; keeping in touch with applicants throughout the process to address concerns; reaching out to those who had started but never finished applications; and allowing applicants to continue an application process even if they don’t immediately meet fitness requirements—even offering training guidance to help applicants hit required strength and speed goals.)

https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/02/24/pay-agent-pay-disparity-gap-lacks-credibility/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pay-for-Performance The Pay Agent also highlighted a common theme: Pay-for-Performance. This observation is also in the introduction of the Pay Agent Report: “[W]e believe in the need for fundamental reforms of the white-collar Federal pay system. We believe it is imperative to develop performance-sensitive compensation systems that will contribute to a Government that is more citizen-centered, results-oriented, and market-based. We need to empower Federal agencies to better manage, develop, and reward employees in order to better serve the American people.”)

I have not. One could argue that the longer that you have lived, the more places that you have lived, the more municipalities that you have worked in, the more employers that you have worked for, the more organizations that you have been active in, the more college degrees that you have earned, the more schools that you have attended, and the more attention that you pay to current government and political news and commentary, the less that you live have lived in a bubble. I have lived in Illinois for more than 70 years. I have lived in Wheaton for almost 41 years. I lived in Chicago full-time for 2 years and part-time for 2 years before that. I lived in University Park part-time for 2 years and full-time for 2 years before that. I lived in Crete for 24 years before that.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans do not live in a totalizing bubble. They regularly encounter people of different races, ideologies, and religions. For the most part, they view these interactions as positive, or at least neutral. Yet according to a new study by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and The Atlantic, a significant minority of Americans do not live this way. They seldom or never meet people of another race. They dislike interacting with people who don’t share their political beliefs. And when they imagine the life they want for their children, they prize sameness, not difference. Education and geography seemed to make a big difference in how people think about these issues, and in some cases, so did age.)

— Income inequality is rising so fast that economic data can’t keep up – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/national/ct-biz-income-inequality-economics-20190221-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nevertheless, the available data paints a clear picture of broadening disparities between top earners and everyone else. Adjusted for inflation, wages for the top 5 percent of earners rose from $50.46 an hour in 2000 to $63.10 in 2018, an increase of 25 percent. The median worker’s hourly wage, meanwhile, rose by 7 percent over that period, to $18.80. The divide was particularly stark among men: The wages of the top 5 percent of male workers rose by 42 percent from 2000 to 2018, while those of the median male worker rose by 0.8 percent. One way to capture that dispersion is to look at the ratio between wages at the top and wages at the middle. In 2000, for instance, the top 5 percent of workers earned 2.87 times as much, per hour, as the typical, or median, worker. By 2018, that ratio had increase to 3.36. Among men only, the ratio between the top 5 percent and the median increased from 2.83 to 3.98. However, there was little change in wage variation at the bottom of the distribution: The median worker earned roughly twice as much as the bottom 10 percent of workers in 2000 and 2018, among all workers and among men only.)

Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

— Pritzker makes DC debut as governor; joins with Cuomo to protest Trump tax hit – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/pritzker-cuomo-state-local-taxes-deduction-trump-national-governors-association/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At issue is what is nicknamed the “SALT” (state and local taxes) provision in the Trump tax bill Republicans pushed through Congress in 2017 that placed a $10,000 cap on federal income taxes deductions for state and local taxes. In states like Illinois and New York, with higher state and property taxes, the SALT cap could outweigh other breaks in the tax bill. Cuomo organized the “Governors Coalition for Tax Fairness,” with five Democratic governors on Friday kicking off a lobbying drive to lift the SALT cap. The new Democratic run House has the votes to restore or revise the SALT cap; the GOP controlled Senate is likely to resist, because the added revenues were needed to finance what Cuomo and other Democrats call a “tax cut for the rich.” “The states that have state and local taxes tend to be Democratic states. I’m sure that was a coincidence,” Cuomo said with muted sarcasm. He added the “politically motivated” SALT cap “was a declaration of civil war between Democratic states and Republican states.” Pritzker said the SALT cap could impact some two million Illinoisans “in a very negative way.” Almost every Illinois Democrat in Congress is protesting the loss of a full SALT deduction on federal income taxes.)

THE HILL
— Firing bad federal government workers should not be difficult – TOM SCHATZ (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was a bad federal government worker. They stress that my superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and took other adverse actions against me before that. They reject my argument that my superiors wasted my career and got rid of me a) because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation and b) because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They stress that my Republican U.S. Senators and Republican U.S. Representatives did not come to my defense.)
https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/431187-firing-bad-federal-government-workers-should-not-be-difficult
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A significant hurdle to getting rid of bad federal employees is the Merit Systems Protection Board. The agency was originally created to ensure the effectiveness of human capital in the federal government, but it has since metastasized into an institutional nightmare that makes it almost impossible to fire any worker for any reason. Through the early 1880s, the federal civil service operated under a spoils system by which the winning political party gave civil service jobs to its supporters. This system caused large numbers of government employees to be replaced every time there was an administration change, and it led to an insecure federal workforce. It routinely drove thousands of job seekers to Washington who believed they were owed a job based on their political support of the president. The spoils system was abolished after the assassination of James Garfield by a disgruntled federal job seeker. Reforms were enacted over the years to establish principles for handling federal employees and adjudicating appeals of removal. The Merit Systems Protection Board was created in 1978 as an independent authority to manage federal employee appeals of furlough, suspension, retirement, and removal decisions. It can develop its own legal procedures, call witnesses, issue subpoenas, and enforce the compliance of federal agencies with its internal decisions. Of the two million federal employees within the jurisdiction of the Merit Systems Protection Board, around 200,000 leave the government each year, but only about 10,000 are removed for performance or misconduct reasons. The rest retire, resign, or finish a temporary appointment.)

— How One Platform Is Helping Companies Overcome Age Discrimination – Janice Gassam (DIERSEN: The federal government promotes age discrimination big time. It wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are Republican, 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. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/janicegassam/2019/02/22/how-one-platform-is-helping-companies-overcome-age-discrimination/#20e6f79f4421
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research indicates that age discrimination has become more rampant. Employers must figure out how to retain their experienced workers, especially given the fact that they will comprise such a large portion of the American workforce in coming years.)

— How has the ‘crack cocaine of gambling’ affected Illinois? The state hasn’t bothered to check. Since video gambling went live in 2012, more than 30,000 video slot and poker machines have been installed in the state and gamblers have lost more than $5 billion. Yet Illinois has failed to address the issue of gambling addiction in any meaningful way. – JASON GROTTO AND SANDHYA KAMBHAMPATI AND DAN MIHALOPOULOS

— Federal spending pushes the limits of nation’s moral sense – Walter E. Williams (DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs want government a) to take more and more and more money away from those who have more money and b) to give that money to those who have less money. What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? 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.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190221/federal-spending-pushes-the-limits-of-nations-moral-sense
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We enthusiastically demand that the U.S. Congress forcibly use one American to serve the purposes of another American. You say: “Williams, that’s insulting. It’s no less than saying that we Americans support a form of slavery!” What then should we call it when two-thirds to three-quarters of a $4 trillion-plus federal budget can be described as Congress taking the property of one American and giving it to another to whom it does not belong? Where do you think Congress gets the billions upon billions of dollars for business and farmer handouts? What about the billions handed out for Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, housing allowances and thousands of other handouts? There’s no Santa Claus or tooth fairy giving Congress the money, and members of Congress are not spending their own money. The only way Congress can give one American $1 is to first take it from another American. What if I privately took the property of one American to give to another American to help him out? I’m guessing and hoping you’d call it theft and seek to jail me. When Congress does the same thing, it’s still theft. The only difference is that it’s legalized theft. However, legality alone does not establish morality. Slavery was legal; was it moral? Nazi, Stalinist and Maoist purges were legal, but were they moral?)

The population growth in Illinois plateaued out earlier in this decade, and it, too, is expected to see a decline in its population in the years ahead.”)
