https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/how-waves-of-immigrants-are-overwhelming-asylum-process
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and 2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said. Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski says.)

— ‘Snowplowing’: When Parents Try to Clear All Obstacles After the rise of ‘helicopter parenting’ there’s now another way to overprotect children—seen at its extreme in the college admissions scandal – Ben Zimmer (DIERSEN: What obstacles did your parents clear for you? My outstanding parents could not clear many obstacles for me. Neither of them attended college. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 47, and it was a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

— Why pay transparency alone won’t eliminate the persistent wage gap between men and women – Nancy Modesitt (DIERSEN: If I had been a woman, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. 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://phys.org/news/2019-03-transparency-wont-persistent-wage-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent, when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent to 18 percent among all employers.)

One reason why I left IRS for GAO in 1980 was that officially, GAO encouraged professional growth far more than IRS. My Democrat IRS superiors dismissed, if not belittled, the fact that I had a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. While I worked for GAO, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

In its 4-page nasty February 1978 article on me, to paint me as being grossly overpaid and undeservedly filthy rich, Money Magazine referred the studio condo that I owned in the Outer Drive East building in downtown Chicago 1974-1976 as being my pied-à-terre. I bought that condo so that I could walk to work at IRS and to graduate business classes at Loyola. I traded it in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo in 1976. I lived in a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972 full-time 1972-1974 and weekends 1974-1976. Starting in 1974, I unsuccessfully tried to sell it. I rented it out 1976-1984 because I was unable to sell it for a fair price. I sold it in 1984.)

I would stress that I have put together and sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000; that since 2004, those emails have gone out each and every morning; that since 2015, those emails have gone out each and every evening too; and that since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 330,500 articles and information on many upcoming events.)

— 5 Things Everyone Should Do in Their 20s to Get Ahead in Their Career It’s all about understanding your goals and skills. – Elizabeth Yuko (DIERSEN: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, what would you have done? I should have moved much faster. I did not earn a job-related bachelor’s degree until I was 21 in 1970. I did not earn job-related master’s degrees until I was 27, 31, and 48. I did not earn job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I did not earn a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— OCTOBER 3, 2018 FLASHBACK: Don’t Accept a Job Until You Identify Your Priorities Create a comparison chart to evaluate what’s important to you. – Hannah Morgan (DIERSEN: What job offers have you accepted and why? I should write a book about why I accepted job offers from GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, Oldsmobile in 1971, Firestone Stores in 1970, etc., and why. What leadership roles have you accepted and why? I should write a book about why accepted the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2005, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership in 2003, etc., American Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee membership in 1983, etc., and why.)

— Fourteen Questions About Your Assignment – Tim Hetzner
http://devotions.lccharities.org/2019/03/27/fourteen-questions-about-your-assignment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you know what your God-given assignment in life is, and that God is on your side, you become virtually unstoppable. Will you make mistakes? Of course, but God loves you enough to correct you, redirect you, and get you back on track. ‘How do I go about discovering my assignment?’ you ask. Here are fourteen helpful questions to ask yourself: 1) What desires have been living in me most of my life? 2) What motivates me to work hard and be productive? 3) What keeps me going forward when I’m worn out? 4) What makes me refuse to quit when I meet with resistance? 5) What do I do that doesn’t seem like work? 6) What do I do that brings a positive response and support from people? 7) What am I doing or what’s happening in my life when doors seem to open automatically and effortlessly? 8) What do wise leaders and godly counsellors think about my work? 9) What makes me feel good about being who I am? 10) What makes my creative juices flow? 11) What am I willing to sacrifice in order to accomplish it? 12) What am I doing that I’d be proud to offer for God’s approval? 13) What would I do without being paid for it if I could afford to? 14) What would I be willing to withstand Satan on in order to accomplish? Prayerfully consider these fourteen questions, and they will shed light on your God-given assignment in life.)

RELIGION AND POLITICS
— Is Schism Inevitable for the United Methodist Church? – Shannon Craig Straw (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the Wisconsin Synod’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_Evangelical_Lutheran_Synod) success in defeating the Missouri Synod (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheran_Church%E2%80%93Missouri_Synod) in Trinity Lutheran Church (https://www.trinitycrete.org/trinitycrete/_) in Crete in 1961. That had a tremendous impact on me, on my brother, and on my parents. The defeated Missouri Synod Lutherans, including me, my brother, and my parents, went to Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-Lutheran-Church/142202365812738).)

ROLL CALL
— Capitol Hill workplace watchdog issues repeat recommendations to Congress New OCWR report urges Hill to join the rest of the country – Katherine Tully-McManus (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Therefore, in actuality, federal employees do NOT have the right to oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of First and Second Amendment rights, patronage, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation.)
https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/capitol-hill-workplace-watchdog-issues-repeat-recommendations-congress
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last year’s overhaul of the workplace complaint reporting and resolution system on Capitol Hill addressed many recommendations from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights. But the watchdog group is not done yet. Its latest report sent to House and Senate leaders earlier this month suggests further changes to apply federal workplace standards to the legislative branch. Congress hasn’t always chosen to apply to itself the same laws that the rest of the country must follow. When it comes to Hill employee rights, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 sets guidelines for the House, Senate and several related agencies. It was originally passed to help ensure that Hill staffers enjoy at least some of the same workplace and employment protections as private- and most public-sector employees.)

— Strategic Human Capital Management is Needed to Address Serious Risks to IRS’s Mission (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $8I,071-$91,880. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325/year. I should write a book about those who have wasted, dismissed, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned that work experience the most. They include IRS officials, GAO officials, and past and present U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, their staffs, activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-19-176
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer individual and corporate tax returns have been audited in recent years, largely because IRS doesn’t have the people it needs to enforce existing tax laws while implementing new laws. As a result, billions of dollars in taxes go unpaid every year. Enforcing tax laws, a High Risk area, is critical to promoting voluntary compliance and collecting unpaid taxes. IRS’s workforce is the key to addressing its challenges. Cultivating a well-equipped and engaged workforce requires strategic human capital management that will help IRS focus its current and future hiring needs. We made 6 recommendations to improve IRS’s human capital management.)

I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970.)

I bought that condo so that I could walk to work at IRS and to graduate business classes at Loyola. I traded it in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo in 1976. I lived in a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972 full-time 1972-1974 and weekends 1974-1976. Starting in 1974, I unsuccessfully tried to sell it. I rented it out 1976-1984 because I was unable to sell it for a fair price. I sold it in 1984.)

They had a) given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) not promoted me beyond GS-13, d) gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

HARTFORD COURANT
— Despite a good law, age discrimination is still common – JOE CARBONE (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and 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.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-carbone-age-discrimination-0324-20190324-5abuapcslbbdhm5xxbr64weo3i-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research from AARP indicates that nearly two out of three workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job. While few doubt its existence, even skeptics acknowledge that it’s unlike the age discrimination of the past. This class of discrimination is subtle, seemingly invisible — but it has gone viral. There are scores of economists and political leaders who see it as the latest inevitable fallout from the Great Recession. To be fair, technology, for all its benefits, must share some blame. Search engines do the work for you, which sometimes produces hundreds of applicants, which totally overwhelms most human resources departments. Data make it painfully clear that the insidious practice of stereotyping based on age has become a cultural norm — and shamefully, it’s flourishing. When I turned 50, I was shocked to receive a greeting letter from AARP, realizing this marked a new stage in life. Now at age 50, individuals in the job market are subject to a value comparison with younger generations. A common first step in the applicant review process is to determine age without asking. Many times, an unsuspecting job applicant will list their graduation year, use a chronological resume or an email account format that becomes a giveaway for their age. Conventional wisdom in talent search is to go younger. Some employers, perhaps many, assume that millennials will have better tech skills and little to no interest in retirement or even health benefits. So, younger folks have the advantage. This is classic stereotyping, it’s unfair, it’s wrong and it will prove in short order to have been a strategic mistake.)

— Casten defends Dem House as re-election foes start to circle After three months in office, the DuPage Democrat says a lot more is being accomplished than the fight over people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would suggest. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/casten-defends-dem-house-re-election-foes-start-circle
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new congressmen declined to comment on talk that Evelyn Sanguinetti, who served as lieutenant governor in the Rauner administration, is preparing to run against him and has begun lining up support. GOP sources also report that former state Sen. Karen McConnaughay is mulling a race. “It’s a democracy. People who want to run should run,” Casten said. But while the 6th District race almost certainly will be a national target for both parties next year, Casten said he’s focusing on his own priorities, such as sponsoring with neighboring Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood to give taxpayers more time, until May 20, to file their annual tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. Sponsors say the extension is needed since IRS agents were not available to answer questions about the new tax law during the 5-week government shut-down. The bill is likely to pass the House soon, Casten said, but faces an uphill fight in the Senate. In the longer term, Casten said he’s working on legislation to restore full deductibility of state and local taxes—the so-called SALT reduction. But some in his party want to go a little slower amidst fears of a soaring federal budget deficit, he added. And such a bill almost certainly would be vetoed by President Donald Trump.)

— Council on American-Islamic Relations calls for Fox News advertiser boycott; demands firing of Pirro and Carlson (DIERSEN: Constructively, if not literally, my critics/opponents have demanded that the following not only boycott, but get rid of me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails: Illinois Senate Republicans, Illinois House Republicans, Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce (WCC), Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC), American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC), the Republicans who represent me in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois, those who I have sued, etc. Everyone can see how the aforesaid have responded to aforesaid demands. They see that I am no longer the TAPROOT chairman, a WCC Government Affairs Committee member, the MTRCC webmaster, an ICRC Steering Committee member, AAPC Midwest Chapter board member, etc. My critics/opponents a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the IRP platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the MTRCC resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
