— Some Georgetown students want to pay reparations to the descendants of the slaves who made the school possible (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you should pay in reparations, and especially if you are a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and/or a draft avoider. How much in reparations will the Democrats want you to pay?)
http://www.wlsam.com/news/some-georgetown-students-want-to-pay-reparations-to-the-descendants-of-the-slaves-who-made-the-school-possible/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group known as the GU272 Advocacy Team has pushed through student government a bill that would create a new $27.20 fee every semester for all Georgetown undergraduates. The fee would go toward a reconciliation fund, which would be overseen by a board of students and descendants of the 272 slaves sold in 1838. They estimate the fund would generate more than $400,000 a year and would “be allocated for charitable purposes directly benefiting the descendants of the GU272 and other persons once enslaved by the Maryland Jesuits,” according to the bill.)

— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: How much will legal pot smokers consume?
https://www.daily-journal.com/opinion/editorials/how-much-will-legal-pot-smokers-consume/article_4a71056a-56d4-11e9-972d-b74dc440f805.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Illinois seems to creep toward full legalization of marijuana, it might be useful to consider some of the experiences of states where it already has been legalized. Washington and Colorado legalized recreational use in 2012. Oregon followed suit in 2014. A marketing firm, DHM Research, surveyed users in those three states. The results were reported in a national story, which ran earlier in The Daily Journal. Here’s what to expect: • If marijuana is legalized, use will increase. Those who use will up their consumption, in some cases moving from weekend recreation to every day. Some 44 percent of the legal consumers will use marijuana every day. • It is a male thing. Sixty percent of the users are men. If you have concerns about the growing inequity of men moving on to and graduating from college, this might give you pause. • Finally, and most disturbing, about one in every four users will go to work high or get high at work. We only can hope these people are not driving trucks, flying airplanes or designing bridges. There is a solid social trend toward legalization. Historically, society rotates those social ills it forgives and those it punishes severely. States, too, greedily eye the taxes they might collect to feed their bureaucracies. As we legalize, we also must regulate with common sense. There might be, perhaps, no penalty at all for smoking marijuana in your home. Yet if you choose to, say, jeopardize someone else’s life by being irresponsible, jail time would be more than appropriate.)

PJ MEDIA
— Why Are 2020 Democrats Embracing Slavery Reparations? – MATT MARGOLIS (DIERSEN: The Democrats who run the federal government use Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, early retirement, etc. to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not promote to GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (SES) (currently $165,500) by age 40. AA is reparations. Who has paid the price of AA? Few, if any, of my critics/opponents, their operative, or their dupes have paid the price of AA in any significant way. If I had been a minority or a female, the federal government would have promoted me into its SES long before I was 40 years old. However, because I am White, male, non-veteran, someone who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and someone who became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they took many adverse actions against me including forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) 
https://pjmedia.com/trending/why-are-2020-democrats-embracing-slavery-reparations/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Spoiler alert, Senator Booker: It won’t solve any problems. It won’t satisfy anyone. What exactly do proponents of slavery reparations believe that they will do that affirmative action policies in education, employment, awarding of government contracts, etc., etc. couldn’t? If the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land (despite his radicalism and lack of qualifications) wasn’t proof that we, as a nation, have moved far beyond the days of slavery, then what will? A check? For how much? Will we finally be able to put an end to affirmative action policies? Of course not, that’s not the point.)

— Church of Sweden LGBTQ kids’ guide: Jesus queer – Michael F. Haverluck (DIERSEN: What if I had successfully claimed Swedish ancestry? 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. Again, what if I had successfully claimed Swedish ancestry?)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Immigration as Economic Warfare – Joshua Foxworth (DIERSEN: What protected groups are you a member of? Constructively, if not officially, members of the following groups are NOT PROTECTED: Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Constructively, if not officially, members of the following groups ARE PROTECTED: anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/immigration_as_economic_warfare.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first aspect of this warfare is simple. The government institutes programs that give special privileges to one group of people in the form of educational access and benefits, exclusive contracts with the government, quotas within the job market, and legal protections that are exclusive to those people. While many of these benefits are subtle, on multigenerational timelines they effectively destroy the unprotected group while ensuring the success of the protected group. In addition to this, there is the selective enforcement of laws and the absolution of some groups from many laws. However, the more important aspect of this warfare is the collusion of immigrants to exclude portions of the native population from the economy. This activity has two facets — exclusion from the market and denial of service.)

Especially since the #MeToo era began, workplace investigations have come under increased scrutiny. – Lynn Cavanaugh (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the lawsuits and grievances that I have filed or been an active member in. Of course, even though I have not filed a lawsuit since 1998, if I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being litigious. Of course, they side with the defendants in the lawsuits that I have filed and with my former employers.)

They 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 $19,568 (21%) 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. They stress my terrible demographics: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

QUICKEN
— Forced into Retirement? Here’s What You Need to Know – Molly Grace (DIERSEN: I should write a book about forced early retirement.)
https://www.quickenloans.com/blog/forced-retirement-heres-need-know
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’re approaching retirement age, you might be thinking about how long you’ll need to continue working to ensure you have the finances to last throughout your retirement. Unfortunately, you might not have much of a say in the matter. A recent analysis from ProPublica and the Urban Institute shows that more than half of older U.S. workers are pushed out of their jobs before they plan to retire – even those who are in steady, long-held positions. Many of these workers find it difficult or even impossible to get back to their previous income level, putting their financial health at risk. Some of these individuals will have to take on new, lower paying positions just to make ends meet, finding themselves working twice as hard just to make half as much as they did at their previous positions. Those who have to leave the workforce due to personal issues that prevent them from taking on new work are faced with the difficult task of making their already lackluster retirement savings stretch even thinner. What can older workers do if they find themselves out of a longtime job they relied on and facing a suddenly uncertain retirement? Let’s look at some steps you can take in the short and long term to ensure your financial security. Why Are Americans Being Forced into Retirement? The majority of job losses among workers over 50 are employer-driven, not due to personal issues like ailing health. This often comes in the form of layoffs or deteriorating work conditions that, intentionally or not, subtly edge out these workers. While age discrimination in the workplace is illegal, it unfortunately does happen. If you believe you have sufficient evidence that you have been a victim of age discrimination, you may want to speak with a lawyer. Another reason workers retire earlier than planned is personal circumstances that prevent them from continuing work, often due to poor health or having to take care of a family member, like an ill spouse.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lonks, a self-employed accountant, has fallen short on three previous bids for a board seat. He’s criticized the district on transparency issues and end-of-career bonuses for retiring employees, but Booten says the payments help retain staff. Crabtree says the district is pledging about $7 million to $7.5 million annually over the next four to five years to pay for capital projects. “We’re going to start drawing down our fund balance a little bit,” she said. “We’re going to be tightening up a little bit within our budget, not impacting students, and we’re hitting off those top-priority needs, so that’s our main focus.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190401/tuesdays-election-key-races-in-dupage-county
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton mayor Both longtime members of the city council, Phil Suess and John Prendiville are vying to succeed Michael Gresk as Wheaton’s first new mayor in 12 years. Now in his fourth council term, Suess, a partner in an investment consulting firm, has made city taxes a signature campaign issue. In each of the past four years, he’s voted against raising property taxes “at a time when the city has consistently underspent its budget, has generated higher than expected surpluses and has maintained reserves in excess of stated targets.” Prendiville voted in favor of increasing the 2018 property tax levy by $151,175 to capture new growth. The city, he said, has maintained fairly flat tax increases for the average homeowner. Prendiville, an attorney in municipal and corporate finance, cautions the city has roughly $59.5 million in projects with identified funding, but faces about $13.3 million in infrastructure projects that have no funding source over the next five years. Prendiville’s third term on the council expires in May.)

https://wtax.com/news/101101-hurt-feelings-in-diversity-debate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Offense taken,” said a black lawmaker during a hot debate over a bill at the Capitol Friday. The bill would require Illinois-based publicly-held corporations to have blacks and women on their boards of directors. Republicans say the requirement is another sign to businesses that they should not locate in Illinois. “If you’re saying that’s stifling business in Illinois, how am I supposed to take that?” shouted State Rep. Will Davis (D-Homewood), who is black. State Rep. Steve Reick (R-Woodstock), who is white, had a response for Davis: “You’re not gonna get anything in this country in the way of being treated equally if you’re gonna take offense at every damn thing that comes up.” Some of the white Republicans’ remarks which offended black Democrats included questions about whether Christian men could be a protected class, too; and whether a corporate board could include somebody such as Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who famously faked her way to the presidency of the NAACP. The bill barely passed. State Rep. Chris Welch (D-Hillside), who is black, said all he wanted to do was make the world better for his five-year-old daughter. HB 3394 has passed the House, 61-27.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Left-Wing Partisans File Stunning Resolution Against Illinois Family Institute
https://illinoisfamily.org/podcast/left-wing-partisans-file-stunning-resolution-against-illinois-family/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago attorney Joseph A. Morris, who is also a leader in B’nai B’rith and other Jewish and interfaith organizations, served from 1995 through 2001 as the President of B’nai B’rith in the Midwest, and was founder and first Chairman of the B’nai B’rith International Center for Public Policy, said this about the disputed analogy: I’m Jewish, and not only am I not offended by the comparison between the German Nazi Party’s National Socialism and the U.S. Democratic Party’s Democratic Socialism but I think the comparison is accurate. Wise, principled, and humane Democrats should welcome having their attention arrested by the facts.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/dupage-ballots-to-include-questions-about-taxes-consolidation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville Township Voters in Naperville Township will decide whether a previously approved plan to consolidate a road district should be scrapped in favor of another proposal to dissolve the small unit of government. Residents in Naperville and Lisle townships in 2017 approved a measure to combine their road districts to form one agency. The consolidation is scheduled to take effect May 2021. But Naperville Township officials put a new question on the ballot that asks voters if they want to follow a state law that allows the township government to absorb the road district. Naperville Township officials say they believe the outcome of Tuesday’s vote would supersede the decision from two years ago. But they don’t know for certain that the idea of absorbing the road district into the township legally can replace the previously approved — and now required — merger.)

(DIERSEN: What if back in 1997 one of my Democrat GAO Chicago Office superiors, supervisors, coworkers, or subordinates had nominated GAO for this while still worked there? What if GAO had agreed to participate? What if the Chicago Tribune had distributed a confidential survey to me? Back then, my Democrat GAO superiors used Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, up-or-out, and Republican-led budget cuts a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees like me who were Republican, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-top-workplaces-2019-nominations-20190326-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A top workplace can be described this way: It’s an organization that is successful because its employees enjoy their work, embrace their mission and feel like valued teammates. Compensation and perks are factors, but the more important components include opportunities for professional growth and being treated with respect. To qualify, a workplace must have at least 100 employees in the Chicago area. Nominations are open to all employers, including nonprofits. Nominated companies that agree to participate will distribute to employees between April and July an easy-to-complete, confidential survey developed by the Tribune’s research partner, Energage, which will calculate the list of top workplaces.)

HERALD & REVIEW
— MARCH 1, 2019 FLASHBACK: Smaller governmental units cost less – Bryan Smith, Decatur
https://herald-review.com/opinion/letters/letter-smaller-governmental-units-cost-less/article_0056cd63-4272-5108-9df8-226415c421a3.html
(FROM THE LETTER: I am responding to the Herald & Review’s piece (“Time to address reducing some governing layers,” Feb. 24) in which it’s stated that Illinois’ taxes are high because there are too many forms of government. As the executive director of the Township Officials of Illinois, I’d like to share some important data from the Illinois Comptroller’s office that clearly dispels those claims. Indeed, state reporting shows that smaller units of local government in Illinois cost taxpayers less than larger units of government. This can be seen among municipalities where taxes per resident tend to be higher where governments are larger. There has been an aggressive push to eliminate township government in Illinois, often based on information that is simply not true. Townships, which are generally smaller, have had the lowest tax increase rates in recent decades among the various types of government in the state. Further, township labor costs per employee are also the lowest of any government type. Local democracy is stronger where local governments are smaller. If townships were to be eliminated and forced into consolidating with units of government with higher cost structures, taxes, spending and debt are likely to increase. Just as bad, it would make local governments less responsive to constituents. This is no way to reduce taxes.)
