https://independentminute.com/2019/02/13/american-retailer-now-publicly-supporting-sharia-law-are-you-shopping-there-2/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What needs to happen is this: any person who wants to come to America to start a new life is welcome if they legally apply for citizenship, learn the English language, prove they have a valuable skill or trade, and embrace western culture. To become an American citizen doesn’t mean you forget where you came from, but it does require you to renounce all that is un-American in your previous culture and work to preserve the new culture you have entered. But radical Muslims refuse to do that. And somehow Liberals are letting them get away with this. It’s time for Republicans to stand up to this shady business, call out those who publicly support Sharia law, and stop those who follow Sharia to the letter from becoming part of American culture. For now, a good place to start would be to boycott Macy’s. Are you in?)

— African Americans are held back the most by student loan debt. – Harry Williams (DIERSEN: Did try to get a student loan? I did not. I doubt that anyone would have given me a student loan. I had not displayed any leadership potential; I spend my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class and my ACT was only 24. Further, neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma and my mother never attended high school. Further, I had been classified 1-A for the draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— State workers’ back step pay should be paid by end of September – Doug Finke (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn federal employees as being overpaid. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my salary increased every year because of step increases, cost of living adjustments, and/or promotions, except in 1980 when I took a $19,568/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. I started in 1966 when I was 18 earning $16.15/hour in today’s dollars and ended in 1997 earning $127,654/year in today’s dollars. During those almost 30 years, I took job-related college courses during 22 of those years (1966-1983 and 1992-1997). I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

FORBES
— The Damage Of Lesser Damages In The Age Discrimination In Employment Act – Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/patriciagbarnes/2019/06/12/the-damage-of-lesser-damages-in-the-age-discrimination-in-employment-act/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination is the least profitable type of discrimination for workers. In other words, the potential amount of damages available to age discrimination victims is far lower than the amount of damages that are available to victims of other types of discrimination. This reality has terrible consequences for combating the problem, and surely contributes to the epidemic nature of age discrimination in America. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides victims of discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color and national origin with a full menu of damages, including monetary, compensatory (i.e. damages for emotional distress), and punitive damages. Federal courts always award attorney fees to prevailing plaintiffs in Title VII cases. Not so the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The ADEA does not treat age discrimination like a serious civil rights violation. Instead, age discrimination is accorded the same severity as an employer’s failure to pay workers’ overtime or holiday pay. The damages provision of the ADEA is taken not from Title VII but from the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal law that regulates the payment of wages by employers. The ADEA allows age discrimination victims to recover for monetary loss only, sometimes doubled if the plaintiff can prove “willful” discrimination. Like all civil rights laws, one of the functions of the ADEA is deterrence. The very existence of the law is supposed to discourage employers from engaging in age discrimination. But the lack of potentially big-ticket damages associated with compensatory and punitive damages detracts from the deterrence value of the ADEA. Worse, the ADEA does not guarantee an award of attorney fees to a winning plaintiff.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Displacement and immigration enforcement are like a two-headed dragon for our families,” Rios-Sierra said. The lack of affordable housing in her neighborhood, plus landlords that require background checks and fingerprinting, have forced out her Latino neighbors from the community, she said. LSNA is focusing its efforts on Hermosa, the neighborhood just west of Logan Square, where a lot of displaced residents have moved, Rios-Sierra said. “There is still a strong immigrant stronghold [in Hermosa], and we’re trying to maintain that.” She added that the loss of immigrant populations also results in a loss of culture. “It’s really sad to see residents moving in who are upset about an ice cream truck making noise in the summer, or people having their quinceañeras in their backyard,” Rios-Sierra said. “Those are things that really celebrate who we are, so it’s really hard to see people come in and dislike it and complain and call the police.” Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum, said that the drop in the immigrant population is a trend that deserves attention, but that the numbers are not particularly alarming. “This is 31,000 over 10 years,” Puente said. “It’s not 31,000 in a year. It’s like 3.000 people per year.” Puente attributed the decrease, particularly among Mexican immigrants, to a slowdown in migrants coming to Chicago from Mexico, which has had a stronger economy in recent years than it did in the 1990s. She also pointed out that the decline could be a sign of other trends, such as the upward mobility of Mexican immigrants who arrived in the 1990s, gained an economic foothold in the city, and then took their families to the suburbs. In addition, Puente said Chicago is no longer the sole point of entry for immigrants, as it was in previous decades. “They go directly to Skokie. They don’t stop in Chinatown anymore,” Puente said. “They go directly to Palatine, Carpentersville, Waukegan, Elgin and Aurora; they don’t go to Pilsen and Little Village anymore.” The Metropolitan Planning Council’s report showed that Chicago’s immigrant population decline is higher among less-educated immigrants, those without a high school diploma. The number of Asian immigrants has increased, although they make up a considerably smaller portion of the total population.)

— 8 resume mistakes that can (and will) make you look old When you’re job hunting after age 50, the last thing you want is to appear prehistoric on paper. So steer clear of these flubs. – DANIEL BORTZ (DIERSEN: How old are you? I was born in 1948. I am 70. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/resume-mistakes-that-can-and-will-make-you-look-old
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mistake No. 2: You list every job you’ve ever had. . .Mistake No. 3: You brag of skills that are passé. . .Mistake No. 4: Your email address is vintage 1990s “It’s ridiculous to think something as innocuous as aol.com at the top of the resume will knock you out of the running, without a further consideration, but there is a chance that it might,” says Dawn Bugni, a professional resume writer in Atkinson, N.C. “Is it fair? No. Does it happen? Yes.” Instead of using your hotmail or AOL address from the 90s, upgrade to a Gmail account. . .Mistake No. 7: You call attention to your age Although the Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits employment discrimination against persons 40 years or older, plenty of 50-plus workers sense that it can be a problem. Many job seekers make the mistake of revealing their age by including their college graduation date on their resume, says Ward. The best approach is to simply leave it off. That may not solve the problem, of course. In AARP’s survey, 44% of respondents who had applied for a new job in the past two years reported being asked their age or graduation year. For tips on how to answer that and other ageist job interview questions, check out this story.)

— MANAGING AN UNDERPERFORMER – Maureen Glass (DIERSEN: To get rid of me, my Democrat superiors in the federal government always painted me as being and underperformer.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_work_environment). They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.) 
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/06/03/4-emotions-new-federal-retirees-may-experience/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Relief provides a feeling of reassurance and relaxation once anxiety and stress have been released. Since we were young we have experienced good times and bad. Life has been full of uncertainty. The cloud of doubt as to whether or not you will make it to retirement is no longer lingering over your head. Instead, your time is yours to enjoy and spend how you see fit. This is your time. Your year. Your moment. Make the most of it. The transition from federal employee to federal retiree is not an easy one. It takes time and patience to start all over again. Essentially you are recreating yourself. Hang in there. Be aware of the emotional obstacles that you may face along the way. Enjoy the ride anyway.)

— Suburban Yard Becomes ‘Lake Michigan’ After Recent Rain, Homeowner Says – Chris Coffey (DIERSEN: I should write a book about Wheaton’s approval of a grossly inadequate lot drainage plan for the four-home Cove Court cul-de-sac that I live in. Wheaton’s failure to require the developer to install six instead of only two  storm sewer inlets and to properly connect four subterranean drainage lines to the city’s storm sewer system has a) forced me to pay for all nine of my home’s downspouts to be directly connected to the city’s storm sewer system and b) to spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to properly connect two subterranean drainage lines, to install many storm sewer inlets, and to install lengthy French drains. As time goes on, a) more and more and more surface storm water and subterranean storm water flows onto and into my lot, b) more and more and more often my massive lot drainage improvements are overloaded, and c) more and more and more often that my sump pump runs. The cul-de-sac is a watershed area that was formerly used as a septic field for homes on the west side of Golf Lane and the north side of Frazier Court. Of course, the aforesaid dramatically depresses home values in the cul-de-sac.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190521/buffalo-grove-formally-opposes-legalization-of-recreational-marijuana
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Buffalo Grove has waded into the statewide debate over legalizing recreational marijuana, as a divided village board narrowly passed a resolution against it Monday. Village President Beverly Sussman broke a 3-3 deadlock to pass the resolution, which is modeled after a similar measure approved by Vernon Hills trustees. It urges lawmakers to slow down the process to provide more time to consider the impact on society and examine data from other states that have passed similar legislation.)
