TRIBUNE STAR
— OUTSTANDING: Clark County may opt out of marijuana sales   Edgar County, cities of Marshall, Paris await further study – Dave Taylor (DIERSEN: Who is taking the lead to stop the sale of pot a) in your municipality and b) in the unincorporated areas of your county? All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.)
https://www.tribstar.com/news/local_news/clark-county-may-opt-out-of-marijuana-sales/article_e9564493-fae4-5bc5-8280-d9d061ea6b63.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Clark County could become the first local government in Illinois to ban the sale of marijuana under legislation that permits recreational use of cannabis statewide effective Jan. 1 but includes an “opt out” provision for local communities. In mid-May, while the measure was still under debate in Springfield but before it passed, Clark County Board member Jim Bolin raised the issue of a local prohibition and said he would have an appropriate resolution prepared. Bolin was out of the country last week and not available for comment. County Clerk Laura Lee said no resolution is available for review yet but the matter is on the agenda for the board’s next meeting, which will be at 8 a.m. Friday. Any ban imposed by the board would apply only in unincorporated areas of the county, covering about 48 percent of the total population of about 16,000. It would also apply only to the sale of marijuana and not its use.)

— 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.)

— Internet Free Speech All But Dead – Philip Giraldi
http://americanfreepress.net/internet-free-speech-all-but-dead/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social networking sites have voluntarily employed technical fixes that restrict some content and have also hired “reviewers” who look for objectionable material and remove it. Pending European legislation, meanwhile, might require Internet search engines to eliminate access to many unacceptable old posts. YouTube has already been engaged in deleting existing old material and is working with biased “partners” like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to set up guidelines to restrict future content. Many users of Facebook will have already undoubtedly noted that some contacts have been blocked temporarily (or even permanently) and denied access to the site. Google now automatically disables or limits searches for material that it deems to be undesirable. If Google does not approve of something it will either not appear in search results or it will be very low on the list. And what does come up will likely favor content that derives from those who pay Google to promote their products or services. Information that originates with competitors will either be very low in the search results or even blocked. Google is consequently hardly an unbiased source of information.)

— Are older workers job hoarding, hurting economy? 44% of young employees say graying workforce is a problem. – AP (DIERSEN: My GAO superiors and supervisors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that their Democrat employees who were younger, minority, female, and/or veteran wanted GAO to get rid of its Republican employees who were older, White, male, and/or non-veteran.) 
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-older-workers-blocking-jobs-poll-20190606-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ore older Americans are forgoing the concept of a traditional retirement at the age of 65, a trend that some younger workers aren’t particularly thrilled to see. A recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that workers under the age of 50 were significantly more likely to view America’s aging workforce as a negative development when compared with their older counterparts. About 4 in 10 respondents ages 18 to 49 and 44% of the youngest respondents ages 18 to 29 said they consider the trend to be a bad thing for American workers. Just 14% of those age 60 and over said the same. “I don’t think in things like IT and medicine you’re as effective a worker (at 65 years old) as you are at 50,” says Katie Otting, a 29-year-old living in Southern California. “If some 65-year-old is in a position that he’s not ready to quit because he wants a better pension and there’s someone else ready to take that job, they’re not going to replace him.” An aging population, elevated health care costs and lingering financial uncertainty following the Great Recession all are believed to be contributing to America’s steadily graying workforce. Nearly 20% of Americans over the age of 65 were employed or actively looking for work last year, up from less than 12% two decades prior, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

I would stress less qualified minority and female federal employees who got job assignments and promotions that I should have gotten. I would stress those minority and female GAO employees who GAO did not force to take early retirement.)

Your request for the records referenced above is respectfully denied per Section 5 ILCS 140/2, Sec. 7 Exemptions (1) (1) “Minutes of meetings of public bodies closed to the public as provided in the Open Meetings Act until the public body makes the minutes available to the public under Section 2.06 of the Open Meetings Act.” The Illinois Election Code allows the public release of statements of candidacy when an individual chooses to run for an elected office. While the applicants in this case are not running for election, but rather are seeking to be appointed to a vacancy on the City Council, after reviewing State statutes, we believe it would be permissible to release the names and addresses of the applicants in response to your request, and that information is attached.” Of course, those who do not want anyone to see the documents support Barrett-Hagen’s denial.)

https://thesouthern.com/news/local/siu/documents-challenge-former-siu-president-dunn-s-denial-of-another/article_2e5dff68-3667-553e-9528-09ad116a8f49.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Documents obtained from Murray State University challenge former Southern Illinois University President Randy Dunn’s claim that he did nothing to “fast-track” the hiring of the son of a former SIU trustee while president of MSU. The documents, obtained by The Southern via the Kentucky Open Records Act, show Dunn signed a hiring process exemption, also known as a search waiver, to hire Tyson Manering — son of former SIU Trustee Donna Manering — as an international recruiter at MSU. The exemption allowed Murray State to hire Tyson Manering outside of its standard search and hiring protocols. Generally, filling a position like Manering’s would have required forming a search committee to vet applicants, interview top candidates, and collectively make a hire, MSU policy indicates. In this case, Manering was selected directly, via the exemption, 12 days before the international recruiter job was ever publicly posted, and more than two weeks before he submitted his online job application, records show.)

https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2019/may/31/how-get-your-resume-noticed/495709/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Highlight your strengths and what is most relevant to the potential employer. Place the strongest and most relevant points first where they are more apt to be read in order to hook the reader. Match the needs of the hiring company. Review job postings online and in the newspapers for positions that interest you. Each listing will almost always have a brief blurb about the company and the position available. Read the job description closely, and use the key words listed in these ads, and match them to the bullet points in your resume. Tailor your resume to the position. Be positive. For instance, if you feel your past graduation date will subject you to age discrimination, leave it off the resume. Focus on the duties that do support your objective and curtail or omit irrelevant personal information like your race.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-law-enforcement-media-changed-standards-for-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the more unfortunate effects of the Trump-Russia investigation — and there have been many — is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn’t.) In particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation.)

EUREKA TIMES STANDARD
— On ‘Seeking: digital natives’ – ANGELA COPELAND (DIERSEN: How long have you had your email address? I have had diersen@aol.com for more than 24 years, since January of 1995 when I was 46 years old. How long have you owned a computer system? I have owned a computer system since 1982 when I was 34 years old. While I worked for GAO during the 1990s, before GAO provided its staff with computer systems, I bought several computer systems and used them in my office. I published Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) first website in 2000 and served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001 and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000 and publishing copies of them at www.gopillinois.com since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.)
https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood, they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Older Voters Are the Future of American Politics For at least the next few elections, liberal youngsters will be increasingly outnumbered by their conservative elders – Gerard Baker (DIERSEN: Those who want Republican candidates to lose tell them to dump older voters, and especially to dump older voters like me who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about 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 who have dumped older voters like me.)

BUSINESS NEWS DAILY
— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam C. Uzialko
https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment. “Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results, employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized to the needs of your organization.”)

— 5 common career mistakes to avoid at all costs – DANDAN ZHU (DIERSEN: Given your demographics, what harmed your career? The following harmed my career in the federal government: I did not become a veteran. I did not become a Democrat. I did not become a yes-man. I refused to help my Democrat superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and had not made 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 (currently $165,500) by age 40. I complained about political affiliation discrimination. I complained about reverse discrimination. I complained about age discrimination. I complained about retaliation. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
