CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— It’s time to tax retirement income, Illinois is one of the very few states that exempts all retirement income from taxation, costing the state more than $2 billion in foregone annual revenue. It’s a luxury we can no longer afford. – MARK MILLER (DIERSEN: Illinois not taxing retirement income helped my Democrat GAO superiors succeed in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— No learning on the job for next mayor: Civic Federation – LYNNE MAREK (DIERSEN: Did you have to learn on the job? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, after having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880, my Democrat GAO superiors treated me like I had to learn everything. They forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut to transfer. They treated what I had learned passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 as being worthless. They treated what I had learned almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul as being worthless. They treated what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 as being worthless. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

DAILY CALLER
— THE LIBERAL JIHAD AGAINST TUCKER CARLSON – Derek Hunter
https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/12/liberal-mob-tucker-carlson-reaction-podcast/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the show today we get into the latest attempt by the progressive Gestapo to destroy someone who refuses to live on their thought plantation and how Tucker Carlson is standing up to the liberal mob. Plus, we discuss how more than 2,000 illegal aliens are reportedly quarantined due to communicable diseases and how the Democratic primary is embracing the concept of reparations for slavery, which could be the dumbest idea in a party of dumb ideas. Leftists have set their sights on Tucker Carlson this week, pretending to be outraged about wise-cracking jokes told on a radio show more than a decade ago. The progressive purity Gestapo demands absolute obedience, anything short of that must be destroyed. Tucker, to his credit, refused to cave and is standing strong, refusing to apologize for jokes dating back to 2006. Still, this Jihad continues and is being perpetrated not just by activists but by journalists as well. Maybe it’s time to hold liberals to their own standards? Maybe, until leftists start to live by the rules they set for others, conservatives hold them to their rules and institute an advertising boycott too? Human decency is too much to expect, maybe it’s time for some of their own medicine? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently holding more than 2,000 illegal aliens in quarantine because there is reportedly an outbreak among the illegals of contagious diseases that have largely been eradicated in the U.S. This news is odd considering how liberals attacked Laura Ingraham a few months ago for saying this very same thing, now liberal outlets have been forced to report it because the problem has grown beyond their ability to ignore it. Democrats are starting to rush toward the idea of reparations for slavery. Out of ideas the American people support, pandering is all the rage on the left and there is no greater pander than the idea of big government checks for free. The party is now supporting the concept of taking money from people who’ve done nothing wrong and giving it to people who haven’t been wronged because people were wronged more than 150 years ago.)

How much welfare do governments in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois give illegals?

WLS AM
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Trump-haters shout that “Pete Buttigieg calls Vice President Pence a cheerleader for the porn star presidency.” Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Are you a member of a church? Do you attend church services? Do you give money to a church? I should write a book about Diersen-haters who demonize me, who denigrate me, and who condemn me a) because I am not a member of any church, b) because I do not attend church services, c) because I do not give money to a church, and d) because I put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out Sundays mornings instead of attending church services. In the book, I would focus on Diersen-haters, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, for everyone’s problems, and for all the losses that Republican candidates have suffered in Illinois since 2000.
http://www.wlsam.com/news/pete-buttigieg-calls-vice-president-pence-a-cheerleader-for-the-porn-star-presidency/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg lambasted Mike Pence — a man he used to work directly with during Pence’s time as governor of Indiana — calling the vice president a “cheerleader for the porn star presidency” on Sunday at CNN’s town hall. Buttigieg went on to question Pence’s faith, asking rhetorically whether Pence stopped “believing in scripture when he started believing Donald Trump.” “How would he allow himself to become the cheerleader for the porn star presidency? Is it that he stopped believing in scripture when he started believing Donald Trump?” Buttigieg said. “I don’t know. I don’t know.”)

— Here’s how to help people who have kids and aren’t rich run for Congress Candidates have to quit their jobs to campaign. This bill would provide a small financial cushion. – Nicholas Carnes (DIERSEN: What are you? I am a retired federal employee. What were you? I was a GAO Analyst for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325. I was an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. I passed the CPA examination and Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/03/07/heres-how-help-people-who-have-kids-arent-rich-run-congress/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Name someone in Congress who used to be a hotel housekeeper. Or a factory worker. Or a fast-food worker. Or an ironworker, receptionist or Walmart cashier. If examples aren’t coming to mind, there’s a good reason. People from working-class occupations — manual labor, service industry work, clerical jobs — seldom go on to hold elected political office in the United States. Working-class jobs make up more than half of the U.S. labor force. But according to my research, in most years since the start of the 20th century, there haven’t been more than a dozen members of Congress with significant experience doing the kinds of jobs most Americans punch in for every day. (The figures are probably similar for the 19th century, but the data is less reliable.) When the New York Times recently took stock of the career backgrounds of members of the 116th House, the newspaper identified a few “narrow but well-trodden paths through prestigious schools, lucrative jobs and local political offices.” The analysis found 12 Democrats and four Republicans who had ever held working-class jobs. In short, white-collar government is an enduring, and bipartisan, feature of U.S. politics.)

— A Democrat, Radical, Muslim Woman Makes A Racist Comment, And White Males Get The Blame – Dave King (DIERSEN: Who in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois takes the lead in blaming others? I should write a book about those in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who take the lead in blaming others. Of course, I would focus on those who focus on blaming me.)

DAILY HERALD
— Former DuPage GOP chairwoman remembered as ‘trailblazer’ – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190306/former-dupage-gop-chairwoman-remembered-as-trailblazer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Longtime DuPage County Republican Chairwoman Barbara Murphy may not have considered herself a trailblazer, even if her contemporaries did. Her obituary notes Murphy always gave credit to former state Senate President James “Pate” Philip for “including her as the only woman in the proverbial ‘all male smoke filled’ meetings.” But it also was Murphy’s sharp and highly regarded political mind that propelled her to the top of the male-dominated party leadership in DuPage. Long before the blue wave loosened the party’s grip, DuPage was one of the most reliably Republican strongholds in the country when Murphy was a prominent GOP operative in the 1990s. “But Barbara never blew her own horn,” said Pat Durante, the former Addison Township GOP chairman. “She did her job. She knew that what she would do was good for the party. She wasn’t one to pound her chest. That wasn’t Barbara Murphy.” . . “Barb always seemed to be everywhere,” former DuPage County Board Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. “When you were either running for office or held office or interested in politics or part of the Republican Party, you knew of and hopefully knew Barb because she was a leader.” Schillerstrom called Murphy a “good listener” who made herself available. But she also was forceful in swaying GOP organizers to her point of view. “Barbara would let you know what she needed, what she wanted, what she expected of you,” Durante said. “She was very outspoken and the beauty of Barbara — when Barbara would say something, people would listen and she motivated people.” Durante relied on Murphy to help him start the Addison Township’s Republican Women’s Club. She was “the go-to person” for providing trusted advice to encourage women to get involved in politics. “I don’t know a statewide candidate that came to DuPage County that didn’t take five minutes to call or meet with Barbara,” Durante said. “If you were running statewide and you came to DuPage, one of the people you wanted to visit with was Barbara Murphy.” She played an instrumental role in Mary Jo Arndt’s election as Republican National Committeewoman, Durante said. And she ran DuPage County’s Lincoln Day dinners with an “iron hand.” “God help that person who would get in her way,” Durante said. “She was a tiger.”)

Barbara was a State Central Committeewoman for the 6th Congressional District in the 1980’s.

She always credited Chairman James ‘Pate’ Philip for including her as the only woman in the proverbial “all male smoke filled” meetings. Just as the Republican National Conventions were the highlight of her political career, her satisfaction in mentoring a person who wanted to become involved in the political system was her greatest Fulfillment. Barbara was a strong believer in inclusiveness and loyalty. Barbara was a member of the Inland Western Retail Sales Trust Board. She was a founding member of “The Friends of Family Shelter.” And a former co-owner of the “Daffy Down Dilly” gift shop.

During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.

Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me and blame me only for my personal failures. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if they were me, they would still be the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc.)
http://www.dailyjournal.net/2019/03/05/letter_dont_blame_conservatives_business_for_your_personal_failures/
(FROM THE LETTER: When our youth increasingly quit school, take drugs, commit a felony or produce a child, often prior to their first job interview, they trigger a death spiral from which most never recover. That, Mr. Smith, is why so many Americans are living a nightmare of declining quality of life. That is why the speed of an increasingly technical world frequently leaves them behind. I am always saddened when I see our youth willingly saddle themselves with these crippling obstructions to personal success. However that pales in comparison to the anger I feel for those who enable personal failure by assigning blame everywhere other than where it belongs. Life is the sum total of the individual choices we make — good and bad. Unfortunately, that means the real world is often a cruel and unfair place that is hardly ever welcoming of the unprepared. It does not mean it is the fault of conservatives or big business.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— How can www.gopillinois.com get a better NewsGuard rating? Please consider NewsGuard’s rating criteria at https://www.newsguardtech.com/ratings/rating-process-criteria/ or below and email me at diersen@aol.com or phone me at 630-653-0462 with your suggestions. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(FROM THE POSTING: RATING CRITERIA  Here are the nine criteria that NewsGuard uses to assess websites. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points out of 100, as indicated below. A site with a score of 60 points or higher receives a green rating. A site with a score lower than 60 points receives a red rating. In every case, the NewsGuard Nutrition Labels that are provided for each site (by clicking on the rating) spell out the site’s adherence to each of the nine criteria that yielded that source’s particular rating.

 

The criteria below are listed in order of their importance in determining a red rating. For example, failure to adhere to the first criteria—publishing false content—is more influential in determining a red rating than failure to reveal information about content creators.

 

Credibility

— Doesn’t repeatedly publish false content: In the last three years the site has not produced multiple stories that have been found—either by journalists at NewsGuard or elsewhere—to be clearly false, and which have not been quickly and prominently corrected. (22 Points. A label with a score lower than 60 points gets a red rating.)

 

— Gathers and presents information responsibly: Content on the site is created by reporters, writers, videographers, researchers, or other information providers who generally seek to be accurate and fair in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information, even if they approach their work from a strong point of view. They do this by referencing multiple sources, preferably those that present direct, first-hand information on a subject or event. (18 Points)

 

— Regularly corrects or clarifies errors: The site makes clear how to contact those in charge and has effective practices for publishing clarifications and corrections. (12.5 Points)

 

— Handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly: Content providers who convey the impression that they report news or a mix of news and opinion distinguish opinion from news reporting, and when reporting news, they do not regularly or egregiously misstate, distort, or cherry pick facts, or egregiously cherry pick stories, to advance opinions. Content providers whose clearly expressed purpose is to advance a particular point of view do not regularly and egregiously misstate or distort facts to make their case. (12.5 Points)

 

— Avoids deceptive headlines: The site generally does not publish headlines that include false information, significantly sensationalize, or otherwise do not reflect what is actually in the story. (10 Points)

 

Transparency


— Website discloses ownership and financing: The site discloses its ownership and/or financing, as well as any notable ideological or political positions held by those with a significant financial interest in the site, in a user-friendly manner. (7.5 Points)

 

— Clearly labels advertising: The site makes clear which content is paid for and which is not. (7.5 Points)

 

— Reveals who’s in charge: Information about those in charge of the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points)

 

— The site provides the names of content creators, along with either contact information or biographical information: Information about those producing the content is made accessible on the site. (5 Points))

That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

It always takes place from the bottom on up.“ He spoke about wealth gaps and other inequalities between black and white Americans as well. “Today, the infant mortality rate in black communities is more than double the rate for white communities,” he said, “and the death rates from cancer and almost every disease is far higher for blacks.”)

— OUTSTANDING: Congress Gears Up Legislative Efforts to Combat Age Discrimination – Herb Weiss (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.golocalprov.com/news/weiss-congress-gears-up-legislative-efforts-to-combat-age-discrimination
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the 116th Congress beginning on January 3, 2019, Congress moves quickly to protect older Americans from rampant age discrimination. It is a key reason why Americans, age 40 and over, are fired or offered buyouts (with younger persons being hired in their place) and why they can’t find work after a period of unemployment and struggle to return to the workforce.  On Valentine’s Day, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Ranking Member of the Special Committee on Aging, with cosponsors Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) re-introduced S 485, The Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (POWADA). The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Fixing a Supreme Court Ruling Over a decade ago, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Gross v. FBL Financial Services weakened the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by imposing a significantly higher burden of proof on older workers alleging age discrimination than is required of workers alleging other forms of workplace discrimination. As a result, workers that allege age discrimination must meet an undue legal burden not faced by workers alleging discrimination based on race, sex, national origin or religion. This sent a clear signal to employers: some age discrimination is perfectly fine. Enacting the bipartisan POWADA bill would restore the pre-Gross standard, recognizing once again the legitimacy of so-called “mixed-motive” claims in which discrimination is a, if not the deciding, factor. It would also reaffirm that workers may use any type of admissible evidence to prove their claims.)

— How to Spot Fake News Online Not sure which sources to trust when you’re online? These browser plug-ins and online tools can help you figure out how to detect fake news sites. – Lance Whitney (DIERSEN: What do you suggest that I to improve the ranking that NewsGuard gives www.gopillinois.com ?)

https://www.pcmag.com/feature/366512/how-to-spot-fake-news-online
(FROM THE ARTICLE: NewsGuard relies on a team of journalists who analyze more than 2,000 news and information sites in the United States. Each site is evaluated and ranked on nine different criteria: Does the site repeatedly publish false content? Does it gather and present information responsibly? Does it regularly correct or clarify errors? Does it handle the difference between news and opinion responsibly? Does it avoid deceptive headlines? Does it disclose ownership and financing about itself? Does it clearly label advertising? Does it reveal who’s in charge, including possible conflicts of interest? Does it provide information about content creators? Each criteria is given a certain weighting, or number of points, to determine the site’s overall rating. A site earns a green rating if it meets basic standards of accuracy and accountability. A site is dinged with a red rating if it fails to meet those minimum standards.)

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

https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2019/03/wheres-weyermuller-mingling-with-dupage-county-gopers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These are some of the issues in contention among the IL GOP faithful: Abortion 2nd amendment Border wall Illinois new minimum wage President Donald J Trump Some party leaders have indicated the IL GOP might have to take surveys of what Republicans believe and want for Illinois. Some Illinois Republicans do not wish to highlight these subjects. Many in the state – especially the conservative base – wants the party to ramp it up on these issues. The fact the Peter Roskam and Randy Hultgren lost their Congressional re-elections indicates they played it too close to the vest trying to be “moderate.” The days of Jim Edgar, Bruce Rauner, and Mark Kirk are over. To win elections in the future, Republicans need to go back to traditional values. Socialism and expansion of government with more tax, spend, regulate, and borrow needs to be shown that it doesn’t work. The Illinois GOP Platform needs to be inclusive, conservative, pro-family, pro 2nd amendment, pro less taxes, pro Trump, pro-freedom, and pro-America.)

DUPAGE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY
— County Moves to Close Alleged Adult Business in Wheaton
https://www.dupageco.org/States_Attorney/States_Attorney_News/2019/60188/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin announced today that DuPage County has filed a lawsuit against Hot Shots Photography Studio, located at 0N758 Gary Avenue, Wheaton, alleging that the business has been operating as an adult business and not as a photography studio as advertised. This morning, the State’s Attorney’s Office filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief and zoning violations against Hot Shots, alleging violations of the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance and state statutes regarding the location of adult entertainment facilities and adult business uses. The lawsuit alleges that Hot Shots advertised on adult websites commonly used to advertise adult escort services by placing personal ads that included a telephone number to call for escort services. The suit alleges that respondents to the ad would be screened by an employee of Hot Shots and then directed to the Gary Avenue location. The lawsuit further alleges that once a respondent entered Hot Shots they were charged $100 as a cover fee and then directed to a room where the respondent would be met by an employee of Hot Shots who would discuss services and payment, with payment “ranging from $500 to $1,500.” The suit further alleges that after receiving payment, employees of Hot Shots would then engage in sexual activity with the respondent. In November, 2018, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office began an undercover investigation into potential illegal activity and/or prostitution occurring at Hot Shots. The alleged findings of the investigation, according to the suit, “cause Hot Shots to be defined as an adult business use as defined in the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance, and thus constitutes a basis by which that use violates the ordinance.” Additionally, the suit alleges that “the business operations of Hot Shots are such that a significant or substantial portion of such operations involve an activity distinguished or characterized by its emphasis on matters depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities.”)

https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-threaten-juan-williams-hosts-fight-criticize-trump-michael-cohen-1347977
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fox News discussion of Michael Cohen’s testimony devolved into host Greg Gutfeld threatening to throw co-host Juan Williams off the set for criticizing the GOP’s poor defense of the president. The Five co-host Williams is frequently the lone dissenting voice against the show’s pro-President Donald Trump panels. Wednesday’s show became particularly tense after a red-faced Gutfeld demanded that Williams stop speaking negatively about the president and House Republicans or “I’m going to throw you off the set.” The breakdown occurred after Williams accused Gutfeld and co-host Jesse Watters of being “deep in the bunker,” which Gutfeld took as an Adolf Hitler reference.)

MARKET WATCH
— Improved Social Security COLA would help seniors stay ahead of inflation A more generous policy would keep more older Americans out of poverty – MAX RICHTMAN
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/improved-social-security-cola-would-help-seniors-stay-ahead-of-inflation-2019-02-28
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirees across America consistently tell us that their annual COLAs simply are not adequate. And they have a reason to be concerned. Though the 2019 COLA is a decent 2.8%, these adjustments historically have not kept pace with seniors’ rising expenses. In fact, for three of the past 10 years there were no cost-of-living increases — zero. In 2017, the COLA was a scant 0.3% — or a meager $4 a month for the average beneficiary. Simply put, retirees need a COLA that accurately reflects the effects of inflation on their cost of living. The current index, the CPI-W, is pegged to urban wage earners’ living expenses, and tends to underestimate what seniors spend on big ticket items like housing and medical care. By the same token, retirees purchase less gasoline than working-age Americans, even though the cost of gas figures prominently into the current inflation index. As the Center for Retirement Security explains, “In 2016, retirees received no COLA specifically because the cost of oil plummeted. The low cost of gasoline offset [actual inflation] in other areas.” Fortunately, a better formula exists. It’s called the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly — or CPI-E — based on a ‘basket’ of goods and services that reflects older Americans’ spending patterns. The CPI-E just got a big boost from Congressman John Larson (D-Conn.), who included it in his bill to expand retirement benefits, The Social Security 2100 Act. “Seniors have been seeing rises in food…housing, and medical costs, without always receiving adequate increases in the COLA. We must do better and work toward a comprehensive solution,” Congressman Larson said.)
