— College endowments hope for rebound after worst year since financial crisis – Becky Yerak
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-illinois-college-endowments-down-0430-biz-20170428-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton College this year plans to spend about $17.9 million of its endowment, a 4.6 percent spending rate, up from $17.2 million last year. Endowment spending covers 14 percent of the Christian liberal arts school’s annual budget and helps pay for scholarships, faculty positions — including research — as well as academic programs, facility maintenance and general operations. Financial aid and scholarships represent the biggest piece of Wheaton’s endowment spending, about 38 percent. That amount, $6.8 million, has been growing in both dollars and percentage of endowment spending. The latest round will provide scholarships for about 800 students out of a total student body of 2,650 students. But like Northwestern, Wheaton saw its endowment shrink last year, dropping 5.3 percent, to $388 million. Nevertheless, Wheaton still boosted its financial aid from all sources, including the endowment, by 3.7 percent in 2017 and plans to spend even more next year, investment manager Kenneth Larson said.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PHOTO OF TRUMP: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “President learning on the job.”  When did you learn on the job?  I worked for IRS in 1971-1980. The first 6 months was all on-the-job training. I worked for GAO 1980-1997.  GAO provides its employees with lots of on-the-job training, and I took full advantage of that.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Powerful pols got in on illegal state hiring scheme – Jim Dey  (DIERSEN: In Diersen v. GAO, all of the following made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation: the District Court Judge Amy J. St. Eve and the U.S. Attorney for GAO Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald who appointed the aforesaid, and the 7th Circuit Appellate Court Justices.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/2017-04-30/jim-dey-powerful-pols-got-illegal-state-hiring-scheme.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Patronage hiring, like that on display in the IDOT episode, is illegal as a consequence of a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. As a consequence of that decision, the high court banned the practice with the exception of a handful of top policy positions in the upper reaches of the executive departments. Those appointed top management positions are called “Rutan-exempt” while lower-level jobs are labeled “Rutan-covered.” To get around the law, top Quinn officials created Rutan-exempt “staff assistant” positions who did “Rutan-covered” work and filled them with clouted job-seekers. Later, Quinn’s people would transfer the staff assistants into legitimate Rutan-covered positions after conducting phony jobs searches. In favoring those with clout, state officials squandered state dollars on unqualified individuals. IDOT also put others seeking state employment at an impossible disadvantage.)

— Can you actually become a millionaire on an average salary? – Christy Bieber
http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/28/pf/millionaire-average-salary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Becoming a millionaire has long been part of the American dream, but saving $1 million is not just an idle fantasy for most Americans. Saving at least $1 million is a dream many feel must come true if they’re going to have a comfortable retirement. In fact, of the Americans who have attempted to figure out how much they must save for retirement, 37% believe they need at least $1 million, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Saving enough for retirement is a significant source of stress, and it’s natural to worry about reaching a savings goal of $1 million. Banking this much money may seem impossible on an average person’s salary, but could it actually be realistic? Can the average person, without a big inheritance or a lucky lotto win, become a millionaire? Can you actually become a millionaire on an average salary? There are a lot of factors that determine whether you can save $1 million or not, including how much you can invest and how fast those investments grow. The biggest factor, however, is your age when you start saving.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170429/ISSUE01/170429842/how-regulators-nixed-inland-banks-risky-growth-play
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Regulators’ alarm at a rapid-fire, unorthodox loan-growth campaign at Inland Bank & Trust killed its most recent stab at a bank buyout, the lender now confirms. Oak Brook-based Inland, the $1 billion – asset bank owned by ultra-wealthy real estate mogul Dan Goodwin, wanted to bulk up fast in 2013 in order to go public so that Goodwin and other investors could cash out at least some of their shares. Without the personnel to generate enough loans to do that, the bank bought minority participations in business loans all over the country originated by outside banks. The result was immediate and eye-popping. Inland’s commercial and industrial loans grew 187 percent in a single year – 2014 – to $293 million from $102 million. Wanting to fund more such growth, Inland struck a deal in late 2014 to buy a Princeton, N.J.-based bank specializing in holding family savings for future college students while investing strictly in securities and making no loans. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. quickly approved the buyout in December 2014 but then took ​ the highly unusual step of reversing itself and killing it five months later.)

http://hotair.com/archives/2017/04/29/marcus-certain-point-hasnt-obama-made-enough-money/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In collecting $400,000 from a Wall Street investment firm to make a single speech, Barack Obama is following in the Gucci-clad footsteps of past presidents. Ronald Reagan landed a $2 million speaking gig in Japan. George W. Bush, on his way out, announced it was time to “replenish the ol’ coffers.” Bill and Hillary Clinton reported making more than $235 million after leaving the White House. But to acknowledge that Obama has plenty of precedent on his side is not to say that his choice is wise. Indeed, it’s unfortunate. …  The Wall Street angle feels like unfortunate icing on an already distasteful cake. Would we really feel better if Obama were taking the money from, say, a public university? At least the Cantor Fitzgerald check comes from folks who can easily afford it — not out of taxpayer dollars.)

— What Happens to My Benefits If I Leave Federal Service and Then Return in the Future? – John Grobe  (DIERSEN: I started working for the Post Office part-time in 1966 when I was 18 years old.  My Democrat superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign in 1969. I started working for IRS in 1971.  I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997.  My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government and just about everyone else were furious that when I started working for IRS, a) all my unused sick leave that I had earned working for the Post Office was re-credited and b) the almost 3 years that I had worked for the Post Office part-time was credited as though I had worked full-time; that meant that soon after I started working for IRS, I began earning vacation days at the rate of 20 days a year.  Further, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government and just about everyone else were even more furious that when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, a) all my unused sick leave and all my unused annual leave that I had earned working for the Post Office and for IRS was transferred and b) I began earning vacation days at the rate of 26 days a year in 1983. Because the federal service credit that I had earned working for the Post Office and for IRS came with me when I transferred to GAO, I became eligible to take GAO’s $25,000 early retirement buyout offer in 1993 when I was 45 years old.  The aforesaid made my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government and just about everyone else even more furious.)

— TRUMP: ‘I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER’ – CNN  (DIERSEN: If you are a Republican working for the federal government, it is not easy.  Democrats run the federal government.  Were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.  If you are a Republican who is involved in Republican politics to defend and advance the Republican Party platform like I am, it is not easy.  Far too many “Republican” activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. are really Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs who are hell-bent on destroying the Republican Party in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, in Wheaton, in etc.  Most commonly, these anti-Republicans reject the party’s traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.  Most commonly, they promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, booze, gambling, and other vices, weakening of the Second Amendment, and race and gender based preference giving.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Newly minted Cook County judge who refused traffic court duty quits bench – Steve Schmadeke  (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS.  The Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office in 1980 did not want me to transfer from IRS to GAO. They thought that their forcing me to take an $18,847 (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO would keep me at IRS, but they were wrong. They knew that I wanted to be assigned to audits of IRS so that I could use my knowledge of IRS that I had gained by working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173. So to get me to go back to IRS, they succeeded in keeping me off IRS audits until the end of 1985 when the GAO manager who had hired me finally succeeded in a) getting me assigned to audits of IRS and b) promoting me to GS-13, currently $94,610. But then, in 1987, the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office succeeded in forcing him to retire. At the end of 1988,  they threw me off audits of IRS and during 1989, they did everything that they could to get rid of me.  Were it not for Henry Hyde’s intervention, they might very well have succeeded.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-judge-cooke-resigns-traffic-court-met-20170428-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new Cook County judge who for months defied orders from his supervisors to work in traffic court has resigned, according to an Illinois Supreme Court spokesman.  Richard Cooke stepped down from his $194,000-a-year post two days after a committee of 17 Cook County presiding judges voted to refer his “non-compliance with reporting to a judicial assignment” to the state agency that investigates allegations of judicial misconduct. The resignation was “effective at the end of business on Tuesday,” Chris Bonjean, a state Supreme Court spokesman, wrote in an email to the Tribune on Friday. The committee acted about a week after the Tribune began asking questions about the judge. On the same day it referred Cooke, the body also assigned Judge Jessica O’Brien, a small-claims court judge who was recently indicted on federal mortgage fraud charges, to administrative duties. His resignation means the Judicial Inquiry Board no longer has any authority over Cooke, 50, who ran unopposed in a Northwest Side subcircuit after lending his campaign an unprecedented $660,000. If the inquiry board had filed charges, Cooke could have been sanctioned or even removed from the bench.)

— Decades-old felony conviction raises questions on Waukegan school board member’s eligibility – Emily K. Coleman  (DIERSEN: If you sought a government office or a political office, what decades-old things would your critics/opponents bring up?  My critics/opponents side with my Democrat superiors in the federal government. They would bring up a) that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 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, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

Of course, the aforesaid is slighted, belittled, dismissed, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned by my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes many of whom read the emails for reasons other than to get information a) to defend and advance the Republican Party platform and b) to help elect and reelect Republican candidates.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Mexico, ‘It’s Easy to Kill a Journalist’ – AZAM AHMED  (DIERSEN: Are you a journalist? I am; I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.  If you are a journalist, how do those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois treat you? I should write a book about those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois, their operatives, and their dupes and how they have tried to kill me figuratively if not literally.  The aforesaid a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee 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, and/or d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed and/or they are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/29/world/americas/veracruz-mexico-reporters-killed.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The reasons for such killings are often varied: cartel assassins annoyed at aggressive coverage, corrupt public officials targeting critics to silence them, random violence and even reporters crossing over into the criminal worlds they cover. But according to government data, public servants like mayors and police officers have threatened journalists more often than drug cartels, petty criminals or anyone else in recent years, imperiling investigations and raising questions about the government’s commitment to exposing the culprits. Cases include journalists tortured or killed at the behest of mayors, reporters beaten by armed men in their newsrooms on the order of local officials, and police officers threatening to kill journalists for covering the news. But of the more than 800 serious cases of harassment, assault or homicide committed against journalists in the past six years, the federal office created to prosecute crimes against the freedom of expression has convicted suspects in only two.)
— As College Deadlines Near, Families Wonder What They Can Pay – RON LIEBER  (DIERSEN: Did you expect your parents to pay for your bachelor’s degree?  I did not. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school; she was a housewife and homemaker.  My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, worked in the office of a chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, never earned more than $40,000 a year in today’s dollars, did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy, and died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. I paid for my bachelor’s degree and for new cars with money that I earned washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assemble line, and working as a security guard.  My outstanding parents provided me with room and board during my first 2 years at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How Trump Wants to Change Your Tax Deductions  President’s tax plan could create winners and losers – Laura Saunders  (DIERSEN: My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious a) that I took job-related graduate business, accounting, and finance courses while I worked for IRS and for GAO and b) that I deducted those courses. Extremely few of my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates took job-related graduate courses. Instead, to keep their jobs and to get promoted, they helped their superiors get rid of IRS and GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran, that is, they helped their superiors achieve their Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion quotas, goals, and targets.)

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/04/intolerant-illinois-gov-rauner-encourages-prejudice-limits-to-free-speech.html
(FROM THE ARTICE: Governor Rauner today released an open letter to school districts and higher learning institutions encouraging them to proactively prevent “acts of hate” as defined by the un-elected individuals who make up the left-wing, taxpayer-funded Department of Human Rights (IDHR). “Acts of bigotry and hate have no place in our society. All of us need to come together and take the necessary measures to ensure that our schools, colleges, and universities are safe and welcoming environments for students,” said Rauner. “Our administration stands strongly with educational institutions across Illinois as they expand opportunities to prevent these acts.” In addition to suggested preventative measures for educational institutions, the Rauner Administration is pledging that IDHR, in partnership with the State Board of Education, the Illinois Community College Board, and the State Board of Higher Education, will investigate any and all reports of discriminatory acts occurring in academic settings. Administration officials recommend that institutions establish and implement policies that address those actions, ideas and speech they consider hateful, and to promote equal opportunity. “Through an ongoing collaboration, we intend to continue engagement with educational leaders and stakeholders on how to promote welcoming (read: trigger warnings) and supportive learning spaces (read: safe spaces) throughout the state,” said Secretary of Education Beth Purvis.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-samuelson-millennials-jobs-adulthood-perspec-0427-jm-20170426-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Growing up isn’t what it used to be. There’s a yawning gap between the end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood: a period when millions of 20-somethings and 30-somethings have many adult freedoms without all the responsibilities. Social scientists have tried — so far in vain — to name this new life-stage, but no one should question its significance. If you have doubts, a new U.S. Census Bureau study should resolve them. It compares the experiences of Americans 18 to 34 now with the same age group in the 1970s. There has been a sea change. “In prior generations, young adults were expected to have finished school, found a job, and set up their own household during their 20s — most often with their spouse and with a child soon to follow,” says the report. No more. . .The transition has been hard on some men. In 1975, only about a quarter of men 25 to 34 had incomes less than $30,000 a year. By 2016, that had risen to 41 percent. (Incomes were adjusted for inflation.) Meanwhile, millions of young women have entered the labor force, and though their median wage remains below men’s, it has increased faster than men’s.)

 

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

FOX NEWS ILLINOIS
— Abortion Bill Passes in the Illinois House Tuesday – Em Nguyen
http://foxillinois.com/news/local/abortion-bill-passes-in-the-illinois-house-tuesday
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Who are we as a culture when we can’t even recognize the humanity of an unborn child?” and “How we can say we care about the most vulnerable among us when we have limited funds anyway?” Republican State Representative Terri Bryant said the policy is “ridiculous”. “It expands abortion in the state of Illinois.” Bryant said. “And shouldn’t be a part of providing free abortions to whoever wants them at any stage of a pregnancy for any reason.” The bill ensures public money to pay for women’s health services, including abortion, something Springfield’s “Right to Life” is against. “We are saddened,” President of the organization, Tim Moore, said. “By the passage of abortion legislation that redefines when human life begins and seeks additional means of killing that life. The same group of politicians want taxpayers to fund these abhorrent practices.” Just last week, Governor Bruce Rauner pledged to veto the bill because of the public money involved. But after working on the bill for three years, Representative Feigenholtz said she will keep pushing for it anyway. “I’m hoping that once it gets to his desk,” she said. “That 250,000 women will knock on his door, and say, sign the bill, and he would change his mind,” Illinois Republican Party National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte responded: “Instead of working to solve our state’s catastrophic challenges, Madigan Democrats just passed a radical bill for taxpayer funded abortions, at a cost of $60 million, while we don’t have a budget. Springfield yet again shows it’s tone-deaf to the concerns of Illinoisans.” Before landing on the Governor’s desk, the bill will still have to pass in the Senate.)

— Trump drags feet on political appointees, lags behind predecessors – Joe Davidson  (DIERSEN: Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

— Fox News hit with more racial discrimination suits – Mike Snider (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, that is, to discriminate against their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  From what I see, ever-increasingly, all organizations, all companies, all governments, and all countries are under tremendous pressure to give preference to Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans, that is, to discriminate against Republicans, Whites, males, older people, and non-veterans.)

— What your religion has to say about how you become a parent – Ashley May  (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned my wife and I because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents.  They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
