(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the recourse by President Obama and Senator McCain‘s daughter to clearly hostile references to the incumbent president (who had facilitated the protracted funeral week with official favors) were in appalling taste. There was what amounted to an attempted hijack of the funeral of an authentic war hero and prominent senator, to convert it into an expression of anger and of contempt for the absent president. This campaign was torqued up all week by the Trump-hating media, who then gave maximum play to the gratuitous shots of Obama and Meghan McCain.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— More Americans are delaying retirement. But finding jobs when older isn’t so easy – LORI WEISBERG and MIKE FREEMAN (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, age discrimination has never existed, does not exist, and will never exist. According to my critics/opponents, if you have employment problems or other problems in life, those problems are never caused by age discrimination or by your complaining about age discrimination. According to my critics/opponents, if you have employment problems or other problems in life, it is because you are stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took adverse actions against because I am stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member because I am stupid, lazy, a White supremacist, a Nazi, a KKK member, a hater, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, of even worse things. Should I sue my critics/opponents?)
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-older-workers-20180903-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With a master’s degree in computer science and 30 years of experience working for technology companies, Tom Middleton had little doubt he would soon find new employment after losing his job a decade ago as a software engineering manager at Kyocera in San Diego. How wrong he was. After two years of submitting more than 300 applications for tech jobs and scoring only an occasional face-to-face interview, the then-59-year-old Middleton became convinced his age was a hindrance. He would hear feedback like “You’re overqualified” and “We can’t pay you what you’re used to.” As money grew tighter, house payments were missed and 401(k) savings were exhausted, he took minimum-wage jobs at Target and Walmart and tried his hand at income tax preparation. On a whim, he applied for a job as a bus driver — and was hired, now earning less than half his former six-figure salary. “I had some days where I just wanted to crawl in a hole,” Middleton, now 66, said of his job search. “I thought I’d be a bargain to someone, but they didn’t see it that way.” A growing share of baby boomers is opting to work well into what traditionally would be their retirement years, but the challenges of remaining employed or reentering the workforce at an older age, even in today’s tight labor market, haven’t necessarily eased. And even as Labor Department data show more people 55 and older are employed than ever before and have a lower jobless rate — 3.1%, compared with 3.9% for all workers — they remain out of work longer than their younger peers when they lose a job. On average, they’re jobless for about 37 weeks, compared with 25 weeks for workers ages 35 to 44, according to 2017 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Their hourly pay also starts to decline as they enter their 60s, regardless of how much education they have.)

— College students need more loan watchdogs, not fewer – Editorial (DIERSEN: When you were in high school, would you have been able to get a student loan? Because I would not have been able to get a student loan, I did not even try. When was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180831/6-suspended-after-des-plaines-police-golf-outing-involving-drinking-and-sex
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Five police officers and a civilian employee of the Des Plaines Police Department will be suspended without pay as a result of their actions at a June 2017 golf outing and party, officials said Friday. Police Chief Bill Kushner is issuing the suspensions after private firm Michael Best and Friedrich LLP completed its investigation into the golf outing at Hilldale Golf Course in Hoffman Estates and a nearby after-party that included excessive drinking, nudity, sexual activity and subsequent rumors that a female officer was raped.)

— So, how does the mysterious Google search engine really work? – Brian Fung (DIERSEN: Everyone should compare and contrast how Google treats www.gopillinois.com versus www.capitolfax.com. www.gopillinois.com  highlights the source, title, author, and hyperlink for internet postings. www.capitolfax.com downplays the aforesaid.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180901/so-how-does-the-mysterious-google-search-engine-really-work
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This is where the more subjective parts of Google’s search engine come in. Over 100 factors – from where the user is located to how recently a given webpage was updated – contribute to how highly a certain result may appear. In addition, the company’s famous PageRank algorithm, developed by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, plays a role in determining the authoritativeness of a given source. Google executives are hesitant to discuss the specifics of their software, for fear of encouraging those who may seek to game the algorithm. And a core aspect of Trump’s critique is that Google is mistaken in the way that it assigns authority in the first place. But, said Pandu Nayak, the head of Google’s search ranking team, Google tests its own search results with regular humans to ensure that the search engine does what it is meant to do: Provide relevant and authoritative results. “We’ve developed a detailed series of guidelines about what it means to be authoritative,” said Nayak in an interview. “It’s a 160-page document, it’s been publicly available on the Web for several years now, and it’s our representation about what it means to give relevant and authoritative results. Raters must study it and pass a test” before they can participate in the evaluation process. Google News’ secret sauce Some of Trump’s criticism appears to revolve around which stories appear in Google News. Recent changes to Google News have turned it into a much more personalized product. The company now apples artificial intelligence and accounts more for your expressed preferences. This approach has given rise to questions about what determines News results and just how much its engineers truly understand about the decisions their AI is making. A consistent theme in current machine learning research is that the algorithms are typically black boxes – often, the only way to determine why an algorithm made a decision is to try to reverse-engineer the logic from the results. Influencing the sauce? Still, it appears, companies and individuals can influence Google search results. Reverse-engineering Google has practically become something of a cottage industry, particularly in media. Publishers are constantly trying to find ways to compete for visibility on Google News and on Google Search. For example, Google’s tendency to favor recency, or “freshness,” incentivizes companies such as The Washington Post to create their webpages with metadata keywords that the search engine can easily read. But not even the best experts can know for sure whether their techniques are working. “The file that has the smart meta-title on it is the file that people land on for the latest updates,” said Megan Chan, director of digital operations at The Post. “A lot of it is trial and error.” While The Post has a relationship with Google on special initiatives such as The Trust Project, an effort to promote integrity in journalism, Google does not use those relationships to provide insights into how its algorithms work, Chan said.)

BUFFALO NEWS
— Take a measure of your eyesight this month – Judith Whitehead (DIERSEN: How is your eyesight? My eyesight has never been correctable to 20/20 and I have always had partial red/green color blindness. I can no longer put off cataract surgery.)
https://buffalonews.com/2018/09/01/take-a-measure-of-your-eyesight-this-month/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As we age, loss of vision becomes more prevalent, depending on family history, health and certain eye diseases. If conditions such as Macular Degeneration, diabetes and glaucoma run in your family, you need to make sure you have regular eye exams. Eye diseases often have no early symptoms but can be detected during a dilated eye evaluation. There are more than 40 million Americans over the age of 65 and this number is growing rapidly. By the 2050, there will be more than 88 million people in this age group. As our life expectancy increases, so do our eye conditions. The number of people living with poor vision is projected to triple. Fortunately in our country, conditions such as cataracts don’t have to cause blindness as they do in other countries. We are lucky enough to have accessible health care in most areas of America. We need to make sure we take care of our aging population. Keep an eye on aging relatives and friends – loss of vision is gradual and easily goes undetected. Early detection and treatment is always the key to saving your sight.)

 

SEDALIA DEMOCRAT
— Don’t take age too seriously – Deborah Mitchell
https://www.sedaliademocrat.com/opinion/don-t-take-age-too-seriously/article_63561c43-c4ba-5fd0-a12b-f20a7a92078c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After my cataract surgery, I remember saying that I was officially a geezer. Well, that wasn’t true. NOW I am officially a geezer. My Medicare card arrived yesterday in the mail. You know, that red, white and blue card that all of us geezers carry around in our wallets. I opened the envelope from the Department of Health and Human Services and saw the cheery greeting on the cover letter: “Welcome to Medicare!” Seeing the card felt really weird, I suppose because I have never taken my age seriously. I remember being 30 all those years ago and thinking, “I wonder when I will feel as if I am an adult?” I wondered the same thing when I turned 35. Not long after that, though, adulthood came crashing down because Emily was born, and all of a sudden, I realized that I was responsible for another human being. That made me sit up and take notice. But truly, I have never paid attention to the fact that age was creeping up because I have never felt my age. My BFF Susan and I were talking a few months ago – OK, it was probably a couple of years ago, but who can remember, because they’re all running together at this point – about how we both felt as if we were much younger than our mothers when they were our age (we share the same age), whatever it was at the time.)

— Medical/Vision Conditions
http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/drivers_license/medical_vision.html
(FROM THE POSTING: If you know someone you feel could jeopardize traffic safety as the result of a medical condition, contact the individual’s doctor or a police officer and request that the Secretary of State’s office investigate. You may submit a Vision Specialist Report completed by a licensed optometrist, ophthalmologist or physician, instead of an in-person vision screening at a Driver Services facility. Visual reading requirements are as follows: The minimum requirement for visual acuity is 20/40 acuity with or without corrective lenses. Drivers with acuity between 20/41 and 20/70 are limited to daylight driving only. You must have at least 140 degree peripheral vision (the ability to see to the side) to have a license without restrictions. This is with or without corrective lenses.)

My Democrat IRS superiors would NOT have failed/refused to promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.

— John Cox’s claim that he was raised by a ‘single mother on the South Side of Chicago’ – Glenn Kessler (DIERSEN: The higher the office that you run for, the deeper that your opponents will dig into your background.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/08/29/john-coxs-claim-that-he-was-raised-by-single-mother-south-side-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s where the story gets fuzzy. Cox frequently says he “grew up” with a single mother, struggling on the South Side of Chicago. But records show that’s not the case. His mother married a third time, to a Post Office supervisor named Thomas Cox, on May 23, 1959, according to the marriage license, which said the ceremony was performed by a minister. In other words, John Cox was not yet 4 years old when his mother was no longer single. She remarried less than 3½ years after Cox’s father left her. . .Cox’s mother was a librarian at Calumet High School on the South Side, which had a student population that was almost exclusively African American. Cox graduated from the local high school, H.L. Richards in Oak Lawn, which according to his senior-year yearbook was almost all white. . .When we asked the Cox campaign to explain these discrepancies, officials responded with a statement from Cox that he was largely raised by his mother and that his stepfather was absent and abusive. . .Cox’s older brother has died, and his other siblings did not respond to requests for comment.)

In addition, you must have at least 30 years of CSRS service.

MY FEDERAL RETIREMENT
— Social Security Benefits Lose 34% of Buying Power Since 2000, Study Shows (DIERSEN: Based on this, my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension has lost 34% of buying power since 2000. My $51,864/year CSRS pension should be $69,498/year.)
https://www.myfederalretirement.com/public/2108.cfm
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social Security benefits have lost 34 percent of buying power since 2000, according to the 2018 Social Security Loss of Buying Power Study released this week by The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan senior citizen’s action group. The study’s findings represent a significant one-year loss of 4 percentage points in buying power, with the loss increasing from 30% to 34% from January 2017 to January 2018. According to the study, the loss occurred even though beneficiaries received a 2% annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2018. The study examines the growth, since 2000, in the price of goods and services that are typical for retired and disabled households, and compares that to the growth in Social Security benefits due to annual COLAs.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: POT PUSHERS ARE OVERJOYED: Rauner set to sign medical marijuana expansion bill allowing drug as painkiller alternative – Robert McCoppin
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-medical-marijuana-opioids-illinois-expansion-20180827-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In general, Rauner has opposed expanding the medical marijuana program, but a recent poll showing Pritzker with a large lead may have put pressure on him to support the politically popular measure. In addition, Rauner recently approved other measures requiring insurance coverage for opioid abuse and continuing education for doctors about opioid prescriptions. Kevin Sabet, president of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, opposes the expansion of medical marijuana, warning that it could lead to more addiction, more drivers who are under the influence and more users suffering from the drug’s harmful effects on attention, memory, decision-making and brain development. “From a scientific perspective, it makes no sense,” Sabet said. “The most comprehensive study on the issue was just published in The Lancet and found marijuana didn’t help with pain, nor did it reduce opioid use. “From a political perspective,” Sabet added, “it likely signals he feels pressure from J.B. Pritzker, who has welcomed pot with open arms.” But in states that have legalized medical marijuana, some studies have shown a decrease in opioid prescriptions and in opioid-related overdose deaths. Cannabis remains illegal under federal law.)

DAILY HERALD

Because I have always been a Republican, 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. 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://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180828/editorial-tollway-board-sees-nothing-wrong-with-dubious-hiring
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For something is surely amiss somewhere when the tollway cannot see the reasons for skepticism after it selects a person with no engineering experience who has not worked since her job as an office-furniture sales associate 18 years ago but does have a family relationship to a top state political figure ahead of other candidates for a job overseeing engineering contracts.)

From what I see, the majority of both Democrats and Republicans would view members of the following groups negatively: union members, former union members, federal employees, former federal employees, federal retirees, American nameplate car owners, and those who do not own dogs.

How did he describe fake news? “The term ‘fake news’ has been the object of great discussion and debate. In general, it refers to the spreading of disinformation on line or in the traditional media. It has to do with false information based on non-existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader. Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence political decisions, and serve economic interests.” He goes on to say “Disinformation thus thrives on the absence of healthy confrontation with other sources of information that could effectively challenge prejudices and generate constructive dialogue …” His whole message has to do with truth. However, your editorial did not mention truth; up front, it said it is the “voice of the people.” Well, which people? Maybe on your editorial page (one of many pages), you give half time to one side of an issue, half time to the other side (maybe). But for the rest of the pages, your paper is the voice of those in your employ. What is the ratio of Democrat to Republican in your employ? What is the ratio of Trump supporters to Trump haters in your employ? Let us know, and then we can decide if your paper is an enemy of people you don’t agree with …)
— Does $60,000 make you middle class or wealthy on Planet Earth? – Heather Long and Leslie Shapiro (DIERSEN: Are/were you wealthy? Because I have always been a Republican, because I avoided the draft, and because I am not a minority or a female, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being wealthy. They stressed the money that I spent on new cars, education, real estate, collector cars, etc. They stressed my wife’s income. They stressed that my wife and I did not have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They stressed the money that we saved for our retirement. They were beyond furious when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. They always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because of the aforesaid, a) I did not need, nor should I be given, any promotions, b) I should be gotten rid of, and c) failing that, I should be forced to take early retirement.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kharas defines the middle class as people who have enough money to cover basics needs, such as food, clothing and shelter, and still have enough left over for a few luxuries, such as fancy food, a television, a motorbike, home improvements or higher education.)

ANSWER: Most commonly, it is because they see the future of those who share their demographics as being lost, and they want to curry favor with those who are getting rid of those who share their demographics. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who work against those who share their own demographics.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the 50th anniversary of the protests, organizers of the August 25 event say the issues of injustice still remain. “Today, when we have America’s longest war in Afghanistan and Iraq, those lessons are urgently needed as well,” said Andy Thayer, part of the Chicago Committee Against War and Racism. Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes remain furious that while I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, my pay increased every year because of cost-of-living adjustments, step increases, and/or promotions, except for 1980 when I took a $19,203 (26%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO. They are especially furious that I got promoted in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1986. In my defense, 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.)

— Payment to wrong ex-wife earns Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Grayson “Kash” Jackson more time – AP
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/2018-08-24/payment-wrong-ex-wife-earns-candidate-more-time.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A child-support check sent to the wrong ex-wife has given the Libertarian candidate for Illinois governor 30 more days to rectify the late payment. The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that Grayson “Kash” Jackson of Antioch told a judge Wednesday that a third-party online child-support disbursement firm erroneously sent the $3,067 payment to his first ex-wife in North Carolina. Jackson was found in contempt of court in May for refusing to pay his second ex-wife $6,067 in back child support and other education and health care needs. He was ordered to pay the lesser purge fee to stay out of jail. Parental rights have been a key issue in Jackson’s campaign for governor. He says he is unemployed and living on disability payments from a 20-year Navy career.)

— GET IN THE HABIT A few key steps can help you on the journey to making your financial dreams a reality. – Sarah Watts (DIERSEN: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, what would you have spent less money on? I would have spent less money on new cars and on collector cars. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used the money that I spend on new cars and on collector cars to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being undeservedly filthy rich. They especially used against me the money that I spent to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966 when I was 17 years old, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Chevy Corvette in 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car in 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s how the tool works: Money for fixed expenses (mortgage payments, car payments, insurance, etc.) is deposited to your Needs account. Money for variable expenses (clothes and entertainment, for example) goes to your Wants account. Your remaining monthly income goes directly into your Savings Account. Setting aside funds for church or charity becomes not only possible but easy when you build generosity into your budget through the Giving account.)

— QUESTION: What discourages conservatives from attending CPAC and from attending other such “conservative” conferences? ANSWER: Ever-increasingly, such conferences are really Libertarian conferences. Ever-increasingly, such conferences downplay the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, such conferences promote LGBTQ activity, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. – Dave Diersen
