CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— State delegation all set for Trump’s inauguration – Katherine Skiba  (DIERSEN: Those Republicans who attend the inauguration should be commended.  Further, all Republicans in Illinois should step forward from now on to protect/defend those Republicans who attend the inauguration because the anti-Trumps in their precinct, in their municipality, in their township/ward, in their county, and in Illinois will do everything that they can to destroy them.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-trump-inaugural-illinois-preview-met-0118-20170118-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite the boycott of Donald Trump’s inauguration by some congressional Democrats, Illinois will be well-represented at the event, as House members who are attending report strong demand for tickets to Friday’s swearing-in ceremony. By mid-January, Republican Rep. Peter Roskam of Wheaton had received nearly 700 requests for the 198 tickets his congressional office was given, spokesman David Pasch said. “We’ve been able to scrounge up more than 100 additional tickets from other offices,” Pasch said Wednesday, meaning about 300 people will be attending through Roskam’s office alone. Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider of Deerfield, who unlike some in his party plans to attend the ceremony, gave out about 150 of his tickets and was holding on to the rest for “any last-minute requests, which are still coming in,” spokesman Steven Kirsch said. . .The festivities for some Illinois visitors will begin Thursday night at the “Inaugural Heartland Ball,” put on by the Illinois State Society of Washington, D.C., at the Marriott Marquis hotel. The black-tie gala is expected to draw about 1,300 to 1,500 guests, Terry Campo, society president, said Wednesday. He is a lawyer, lobbyist and political consultant from Springfield and often works in Washington.)
— City ethics board blesses Vatican trip paid for by business group – Hal Dardick  (DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs always draw attention to the Pope when he demonizes, denigrates, and condemns planks in the Republican Party platform.  Democrats and RINOs always hint/imply/argue/shout that GOD is a liberal Democrat, if not a socialist, if not a communist.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-gun-range-restrictions-20170118-story.html
— Betsy DeVos vs. the education status quo In Chicago and Illinois, school choice cant’t get any traction – Editorial  (DIERSEN: Did your parents have school choice?  My parents did.  They sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod.  Since then, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned my parents and me as being filthy rich.)

— Persistence, determination needed to advance social justice in Cook County – Toni Preckwinkle  (DIERSEN: From what I see, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that promote social justice 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, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170119/discuss/170118838/
— A better candidate for tollway job? – Ken Johnson, Bloomingdale  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always promoted patronage big time, so of course, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn my work experience, my education, my professional certifications, and my professional license.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170119/discuss/170118813/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I read in the Jan. 16 Daily Herald about how the new Illinois Tollway’s Chief Operating Officer is a political and campaign veteran. This is the problem with Illinois. This is one of the reasons people are leaving the state. The endless story of political cronyism. Do you think just maybe somebody with a tollway background from within the agency or someone from another toll agency in the country might just do a better job in this position? At $155,000 a year, it’s not like we are getting any bargain here. Surely somebody better qualified could have been found.)

FED SMITH
— I Do Solemnly Swear That I Will… – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the Constitution of the United States required them to get rid of federal employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. It is called Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2017/01/18/i-do-solemnly-swear-that-i-will/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: People in the private sector do not take an oath of office when they get a job. They get an offer, report to work, and that’s it. For federal employees it is different. Reading so many articles about the inauguration that refer to the president-elect taking the oath of office on the 20th of January got me thinking about oaths and what they mean. I have taken that oath of office as a civil service employee. Raising your right hand and swearing to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” is not something most people take lightly. It is a solemn oath and it means something to most people who take it.)

https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170117/downtown/big-drag-how-much-puffing-illinois-costs-smokers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Smoking will cost you big time in Illinois.  The habit will cost a smoker an estimated nearly $1.8 million throughout his or her lifetime, making Illinois among the costliest states in the nation for users, according to a new study. The study from WalletHub looked at the out-of-pocket cost to smokers as well as financial opportunity cost (how much money smokers would have made by investing money instead of spending it on cigarettes), healthcare cost, income loss per smoke and other expenses. The study found smoking in Illinois will end up costing people more than $34,000 a year or $1.77 million over a lifetime of smoking for about 50 years. For a pack-a-day smoker, the habit can cost more than $2,700 per year just to buy cigarettes, the study found.)

In an interview with Fox News slated to air Wednesday, Trump said he uses Twitter to defend himself against the “dishonest media.” “Look, I don’t like tweeting,” Trump told Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt. “I have other things I could be doing. But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. It’s my only way that I can counteract.” He continued: “When people misrepresent me — because the press is very dishonest, unbelievably dishonest … When people misrepresent me, I have at least a way of saying it’s a false statement. If the press were honest, which is not, I would absolutely not use Twitter. I wouldn’t have to.”)

— Wheaton City Council approves facility for single moms at former Wheaton Inn  Facility to serve as many as 12 new and expectant single mothers – ERIC SCHELKOPF
http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2017/01/18/wheaton-city-council-approves-facility-for-single-moms-at-former-wheaton-inn/a5r6lc4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Wheaton City Council on Jan. 17 voted 6-0 to approve plans for the former Wheaton Inn building at 301 W. Roosevelt Road to become a facility for new and expectant single mothers. The Clarendon Hills-based company Love From Above plans to offer a two-year transitional housing program for women 18 to 26 years old that will serve single mothers in DuPage County. The facility would serve as many as 12 women at any given time who find themselves in “crisis pregnancies,” Love From Above President and founder Yvonne Florczak-Seeman previously said. City Council members approved the plans contingent on the installation of landscaping for the property and the replacement of any required landscaping that has died or is dying. In addition, the facility will only be able to serve a maximum of 12 women at any given time. While Wheaton Mayor Michael Gresk said he would have preferred to have seen a commercial use for the building, “it’s good to see that building occupied.” “It’s an appropriate use,” he said. Council members previously asked if the facility would have to be licensed or regulated by the state. Greg Dose, attorney for the applicant, wrote a letter to the city stating the facility is not subject to regulation or licensing by the Department of Children and Family Services under the Illinois Child Care Act. In the letter, Dose said the facility will be the primary residence of the women. “While they reside there, it will be their home and the home of their infant and toddler children,” Dose said in the letter. “There will be no children on the premises other than those of the moms. Thus all child care that occurs on the premises will be home-based child care.” Dose said the facility is exempt from DCFS licensing and regulation because the children will not be apart from their parents. Wheaton’s city attorney has agreed with Dose’s opinion. As proposed, the women staying at the facility would have to be enrolled in college to participate in the program. This would be the company’s first facility, which will be called The Butterfly Garden…A Place for Healing and Transformation. The Wheaton Inn originally was built in 1987 and most recently was used as office space by an investment company that relocated to Downers Grove a few years ago. Council member Suzanne Fitch was absent from the meeting.)

The congressman does not endorse any political party in Australia.”)

http://www.therepublic.com/2017/01/17/high_school_classmates_saw_pences_leadership_40_years_ago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Classmates who traveled the halls of Columbus North High School in 1977 didn’t know then that one of them would one day hold the second highest office in the United States. But a few of them suspected Vice President-elect Mike Pence might be headed toward national office someday even as they voted him North’s senior class president that year. Bob Haddad Jr., now general manager of Harrison Lake Country Club, was one of Pence’s acquaintances who voted for him for senior class president. “Everybody did,” Haddad Jr. said of his classmates. “We knew even back then.”)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/15/us/politics/trumps-race-john-lewis.html
— John’s Gospel of Trump’s Illegitimacy – Charles M. Blow  (DIERSEN: Are you a draft avoider? I sought and obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and I sought and obtained a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.  Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that against me. They focus on turning veterans against me.  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, most of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were veterans, and at times, virtually all of them were veterans.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/16/opinion/johns-gospel-of-trumps-illegitimacy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump attacks Lewis as, “All talk, talk, talk — no action”; Lewis, who repeatedly thrust his body unto the breach for justice, who was arrested, beaten and terrorized, including during the time that young Trump was at his well-heeled schools, receiving draft deferments from the Vietnam War. In fact, one of Trump’s five deferments was in 1965, the same year as the Selma marches and “Bloody Sunday,” during which Lewis was struck so violently by a state trooper wielding a billy club that Lewis’s skull was fractured. Coincidentally, Trump finally received his permanent exemption from the draft, a 4-F status, in the year before he and his father were sued by the Department of Justice for violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 — one of the many justice issues Lewis championed. As The New York Times noted at the time: “The government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals ‘because of race and color.’ It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available.” Let’s be clear: Donald Trump doesn’t even deserve to stand in John Lewis’s shadow. The spectacular obscenity of Trump’s comment is incomparable and deeply repulsive.)

http://www.wsj.com/articles/china-tightens-apps-oversight-1484568024
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Plugging a gap in the Great Firewall, China on Monday began requiring internet app stores to register with the state. China has long censored websites, barring outlawed content such as pornography, the promotion of illegal activity including terrorism and “rumors,” a term regulators often apply to antigovernment statements. But apps create a special challenge for government censors, experts say, because they often incorporate a wide variety of functions and serve as platforms for users to exchange information, making them harder to oversee. They are also multiplying quickly.)

— Pulling Retirement Cash, but Not by Choice  Baby boomers’ mandatory withdrawals from 401(k)s, IRAs and other tax-deferred retirement accounts start in full force this year, touching off a massive shift of cash – VIPAL MONGA and SARAH KROUSE  (DIERSEN: The cost of living in Wheaton is very high.  Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically reduced.  Because of that, increasingly, my wife and I are spending more than our income. When I am 70 1/2, we will use my required minimum distribution to help pay for things like real estate taxes, income taxes, medical expenses, food, utilities, and insurance.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/pulling-retirement-cash-but-not-by-choice-1484568043
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The largest generation in U.S. history has to start pulling its retirement money this year, kicking off a mandatory movement of cash that could total hundreds of billions in the coming decades. U.S. law requires anyone age 70 ½ or older to begin annual withdrawals from their tax-sheltered retirement accounts and pay taxes on those distributions. The oldest of the nation’s 75 million baby boomers cross that threshold for the first time this month, according to a U.S. Census Bureau estimate of when that demographic group began. The obligatory outflows from 401(k)s and IRAs are expected to ripple through the U.S. economy, the stock market and a money-management industry that relies heavily on fees from boomers’ tax-sheltered savings plans and assets. Boomers hold roughly $10 trillion in tax-deferred savings accounts, according to an estimate by Edward Shane, a managing director at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Over the next two decades, the number of people age 70 or older is expected to nearly double to 60 million—roughly the population of Italy. Firms that manage 401(k) plans are trying to persuade clients to reinvest their withdrawals in other products rather than spending or donating the cash to charity. It’s another pain point for many traditional money managers already struggling to keep some clients from shifting into lower-cost index-tracking mutual funds.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Tax Report: Where Taxpayers Won Against the IRS – LAURA SAUNDERS  (DIERSEN: I won a split decision in tax court.  I worked for IRS 1971-1980 as a Revenue Officer, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels (currently $79,563-$90,173). In 1978, Money Magazine and my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed the graduate business courses at Loyola and the graduate accounting courses at DePaul that I had deducted.  I argued that IRS encouraged its Revenue Officers to take graduate business and accounting courses, that the courses related to my job duties, that the courses helped me carry out my job duties, that the courses did not qualify me for a “new trade or business,” and that I did not take the courses to get a job in private industry.  The tax court judge allowed the six business courses, but disallowed the seven accounting courses by wrongly ruling that they qualified me for a “new trade or business” because I planned to take and to pass the CPA examination.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/tax-report-where-taxpayers-won-against-the-irs-1484327075
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are you dreaming of taking the Internal Revenue Service to court? Your chances of winning may not be as bad as you think, and it isn’t crazy to represent yourself. These insights come from data compiled by National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson, who is charged with representing taxpayer interests before the IRS and Congress. Each year, Ms. Olson publishes a deep dive into the IRS’s civil litigation as part of her annual report to Congress, which was released this week. This year’s report analyzes results from 609 federal tax decisions on the most-litigated code sections for the 12 months ended May 31. Most of the cases were in Tax Court, a specialized forum devoted to taxpayer conflicts with the IRS.)

TIME
— Millennials Keep Losing Ground to Their Parents – Kate Samuelson
http://time.com/money/4634274/millennials-losing-ground-parents/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Millennial children are earning around 20% less than their baby boomer parents despite being better educated, new research says. Analysis of Federal Reserve data by the advocacy group Young Invincibles, laid out in an Associated Press report, discovered that millennials have less than half the net worth of boomers and their home ownership rate is lower, while their student debt is “drastically” higher. For the research, the analysts compared 25 to 34 year-olds in 2013, the most recent year available, to the same age group in 1989 after adjusting for inflation. They found that education has helped lessen the gap between millennials and boomers, but white millennials still earn significantly more than their black and Latino peers. This “reflect[s] the legacy of discrimination for jobs, education and housing,” the report says. According to AP, research last year by economists led by Stanford University’s Raj Chetty agrees with Young Invincibles’ findings. The Stanford report found that people born in 1950 had a 79% chance of making more money than their parents but those born in 1980 had just a 50% chance of out-earning their parents.)

— Central Illinois man files lawsuit over flag burning arrest- AP (DIERSEN: What do flag burners think of you?  Flag burners despise me, if not hate me.  Flag burners, like all my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, blame me for their problems, blame me for your problems, blame me for my problems, and blame me for everyone’s problems.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-illinois-flag-burning-arrest-lawsuit-20170112-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police in Urbana used Illinois’ flag desecration law to arrest local resident Bryton Mellott on July 4 of last year. He said he carefully planned his demonstration to protest racial discrimination, poverty and other injustices, and then posted six photographs of his actions on Facebook. The posts, which generated hundreds of comments, led police officers to arrest Mellott while he worked at Wal-Mart and detain him for several hours. He was released without being charged. Mellott, who is being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, was expected to discuss the lawsuit at a Thursday news conference in Champaign. The suit was filed late Wednesday. . .The Illinois case comes as the issue has been in the headlines. President-elect Donald Trump recently said that anyone who burns an American flag should face “consequences,” like jail or a loss of citizenship, despite the Supreme Court determinations.)

— Only club members vote in secret Illinois elections – Phil Kadner
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/kadner-only-club-members-vote-in-secret-illinois-elections/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politicians hold secret meetings to select replacements for state legislators who leave office. No outsiders supervise the proceedings. It is not open to the public. That’s the law in Illinois. I’ve known about that process for years, but the lack of oversight really hit home after state Rep. Monique Davis, D-Chicago, recently resigned. On Jan. 5, a meeting of Democratic committeemen from her legislative district, the 27th, was allegedly held to name a replacement. That would include committeemen from the 9th, 19th, 21st and 34th wards in Chicago and Calumet, Orland, Bremen and Worth townships in the suburbs, as far as I can tell.)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/11/the-unsung-heroes-of-illinois/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Perhaps the most long-lasting effect of the investigative work done by John Kraft and Kirk Allen with Edgar County Watchdogs isn’t the more than 200 officials they’ve chased out of office, but the viral impact they’ve had. Others in Illinois have formed their own groups in Illinois to combat waste, fraud and abuse by public officials, including a coalition in Morgan County that has managed to bust several bureaucrats there. “They’re replicating the model,” Mr. Allen said. “We’re excited to see them step up and have success.” Edgar County Watchdogs, now rebranded as Illinois Leaks, has also spurred state media to action. Mr. Allen said Chicago Tribune reporters have told him his and Mr. Kraft’s work has “forced them to do a better job and do it faster.” Messrs. Kraft and Allen came together in 2011, discussing each other’s bureaucratic woes at a candidate’s dinner. Mr. Kraft had asked to film a school graduation so he could sell the video and learned that someone else was hired for the job without public discussion. Mr. Allen, the volunteer fire chief in the town of Kansas, learned that a dispatcher didn’t instruct the parents of a baby having trouble breathing on CPR techniques. He investigated and learned the 911 call center hadn’t certified its dispatchers in CPR techniques in the past six years, as is required by law. Further investigation there determined that taxpayer money was used for everything from pizza parties to gambling. Messrs. Kraft and Allen created their website and started investigating, using Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to uncover a fount of bureaucratic blunders.)

 

DAILY CALLER
— HUD Spent Almost $1M To Cover Up Accusation Against Top Exec – Luke Rosiak  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government never made a racist remark to me, but my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in September of 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 $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims.  My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests. In 1997, in today’s dollars, GAO paid me $122,991. My pension is only $50,720. $122,991 minus $50,720 times 19 years and 4 months is $1,397.239.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/11/exclusive-hud-spent-1m-to-cover-up-accusation-against-top-exec/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Taxpayers wrote a $900,000 settlement check to a federal employee to compensate her for once being likened to a “Little Rascals” character by her boss, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group (TheDCNF)  has learned. The secret settlement appears to be one of the largest-ever discrimination settlement payouts to an individual federal employee. The payment came after an Equal Opportunity Employment office ruled that the remark was racist and accepted without challenge the claim that it caused nearly a million dollars worth of emotional harm. The offending boss was Mary K. Kinney, then-executive vice president of Ginnie Mae, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Feds Are Simply Out-of-Touch – David E. Smith
https://illinoisfamily.org/marriage/feds-simply-touch/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently claimed in a press release that the cost of raising a child from birth through age 17 is $233,610, or almost $14,000 annually. As the father of seven children, let me say that this is utter nonsense. Moreover, the USDA fails to identify the multiple benefits of raising children, such as the physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional advantages. These benefits are not just unquantifiable, but inestimable. The value of raising, nurturing and training children far surpass the outlandish financial estimates of Washington D.C. bureaucrats. With the USDA’s exaggerated estimates, how do we expect to encourage married couples to return to the healthy birth rate of more than 2.1 in the United States?  We’re shortsighted if we fail to see that the current U.S. trend is unsustainable and portends economic trouble, including lower living standards for most citizens. We simply have to look at Japan, Greece or Italy for a lesson in the detriments of low birth rates. Federal officials are simply out-of-touch with Middle America. Most of us don’t spend hundreds of dollars on a hammer and we spend far less than they estimate to raise our each child every year. Maybe the federal government can learn something from working families?)

http://gmauthority.com/blog/2017/01/vice-president-joe-biden-plans-to-purchase-a-corvette-upon-leaving-office/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We all know Vice President Joe Biden’s love affair with Corvettes; it’s a very well-documented obsession. In fact, he still owns a C2 Corvette given to him as a wedding gift decades ago.
However, Biden has big automotive plans upon leaving office. During VP Biden’s visit to the 2017 North American International Auto Show, he told reporters one of his first actions after exiting his current role will be to “Buy a Corvette.”  Biden was seen checking out numerous vehicle during the show and was greeted by Fiat-Chrysler Vice President Brian Harlow, Ford President and CEO Mark Fields and GM Executive Vice President Mark Reuss. But, it was Reuss’ team Biden was loving up on. The VP was seen sitting in numerous C7 Corvettes on the show floor, likely doing some window shopping at the same time.)
