— 2022 a rebuilding year for Illinois GOP – JIM NOWLAN
https://www.commercial-news.com/opinion/jim-nowlan-2022-a-rebuilding-year-for-illinois-gop/article_b99ea184-f9f9-11eb-94b1-778972403334.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I was a kid in politics half a century ago, the GOP party organizations at the state and county level still had some influence over who would win primary nominations. That, by the way, was the historic purpose of party organizations: To influence, even control, primary nominations, by rallying the precinct workers in behalf of candidates the party leaders felt had the best chance of winning the general election. Not today, when GOP party organizations have many chieftains, but almost no Indians to work the trenches. And no money unless a Daddy Warbucks sort, like billionaire Ken Griffin, once again matches Pritzker. . .Look at it this way. If you were an attractive young GOP contender, why would you put yourself up against the Democratic state slate, likely lose, and then watch others walk over your dead political body to run when prospects might subsequently be better?)

FORD AUTHORITY
— Previous Ford Downsizing Initiative Subject Of Ongoing Lawsuit – Brett Foote (DIERSEN: When I started working for GAO’s Chicago office in 1980, virtually all of its older White male employees had accounting degrees. To justify getting rid of its older White male employees, the Democrats who ran GAO dramatically cut the work that GAO did that required accounting knowledge. Suddenly, the following became worthless in GAO’s eyes: a) my having passed the CPA on my first attempt in 1979, b) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, e) my serving on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996, and f) my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.)
https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/previous-ford-downsizing-initiative-subject-of-ongoing-lawsuit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ford, like many larger corporations, occasionally has to lay people off, change up its structure, or offer buyouts to accomplish either. As Ford Authority exclusively reported earlier this week, Ford Motor Company has initiated a buyout program for certain white-collar workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles that includes six months of salary and healthcare benefits. However, a federal age discrimination lawsuit filed by eight employees alleges that the automaker targeted high-performing, older workers during the Ford downsizing process dubbed “Smart Redesign” back in 2019, according to the Detroit Free Press. According to internal Ford documents, under then-CEO Jim Hackett, the automaker hired Boston Consulting Group and tasked it with identifying employees that would present the most cost savings if their employment was terminated in the Ford downsizing effort. The lawsuit alleges that the consulting group used an algorithm that took into account the age of employees and their years of service. The latter bit is significant because employees hired prior to January 1st, 2004, were eligible for pension payments, which have, to date, cost Ford millions of dollars.)

COLORADO SUN
— Some Colorado Republicans want to forgo their party’s 2022 primaries. Others think that’s “insane.” Under the proposal, to be voted on by the Colorado Republican Party’s central committee in September, GOP general election candidates would be picked through the caucus and assembly process. – Sandra Fish and Daniel Ducassi (DIERSEN: Most commonly, moderate candidates win Republican primaries because multiple conservative candidates run splitting the conservative vote.)
https://coloradosun.com/2021/08/05/2022-republican-primary-opt-out-vote/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I think it’s time for the party to start standing on its platform and principles and to get candidates who will do the same,” said Peg Cage, former chairwoman of the Boulder County Republicans, who supports forgoing the 2022 GOP primaries. “We can’t do that if we’re constantly going left and trying to placate the unaffiliated voters and the Democrats.” . . . “Having non-members decide who will be the Republican nominee is a golden opportunity for the opposition to infiltrate and to weaken our platform of liberty, justice, personal freedom, and adherence to our constitution,” Hanks wrote.)

FORD AUTHORITY
— Ford Salaried Buyouts Confirmed For Select Employees – Brett Foote (DIERSEN: I was eligible for GAO’s 1993 buyout. Overwhelmingly, those like me who were eligible for the buyout were Republican, White, male, and/or older.)
https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/ford-salaried-buyouts-confirmed-for-select-employees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Ford Authority has learned from sources familiar with the buyout plan, the packages are being targeted toward workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles. Ford said that the “action is to further enable us to match our business priorities with the critical skills needed to turn around our automotive operations.” The Ford salaried buyouts are being offered to some white-collar workers as voluntary incentives to leave the company, which will allow Ford to avoid layoffs. Severance packages such as this are often offered to older workers nearing retirement who may be keener to take such a deal.)

GALESBURG REGISTER MAIL
— Churches succumbing to immoral ways – Thomas Mosher, Victoria (DIERSEN: The Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms are extremely anti-religious. Churches should speak out against the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, BLM, CRT, 1619, reparations, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.galesburg.com/story/opinion/letters/2021/07/31/letter-churches-succumbing-immoral-ways/5439463001/
(FROM THE LETTER: A sign of the times? Many of our Christian denominations are succumbing to the whims and immoral ways of secular society. They call it “inclusion” and “diversity.” Many churches have accepted non-traditional marriage and also treat abortion as if our God would accept those “choices.” Compromising with those specific issues is not in accordance with his word or his will. Our church pews are full of sinners, but those sinners are seeking forgiveness. Our God loves all repentant sinners but he detests their sin. He will not accept nor forgive any unrepentant sin. All sin must be addressed from the pulpit even if addressing them steps on some toes and results in fewer people in the pews. Our churches have been under tremendous stress. We must stand up and speak up about what is happening in our specific denomination. Our church’s failure to deal with certain sin dishonors our relationship with God. We are dishonoring the name of Christ, and we will be held accountable. Christian churches must separate themselves from the liberal elements that accept what our God has deemed abominations. If they do not they will become irrelevant and will no longer be considered churches seeking God’s will. What is your lifestyle and would our God approve of it? Is it carnal or seeking God’s will? Are you seeking God’s purpose for your life or are your seeking worldly pleasure and self-gratification? Do not come to the end of your life regretting what your life has become or the choices you made. Doing right today will ensure that the tomorrows take care of themselves. That includes making right choices in our churches. Whether you believe it or not, there is no other name under heaven, but the name of a Jewish Rabbi, Jesus, whereby we will spend eternity with our creator. Those who believe otherwise, whether Methodists, Baptists, Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Hindus, Islamists or whatever, will not come to the peace our father offers unless we come to him through Christ. Our God is a just God and although he is a loving God, he will one day judge all of mankind. Churches that fail to deal with all sin compromise their relationship with God. They will be held accountable at that judgment.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— State Rep. Chris Miller is continuing to promote the false claim that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. “Make no mistake, Donald J. Trump was overwhelmingly elected in this last election cycle,” Miller said at a political event to promote state Sen. Darren Bailey’s bid for governor. The Effingham Daily News first reported Miller’s comments. A spokesman for the Illinois GOP declined to comment but reiterated, “we recognize that Joe Biden won in November 2020.” And House Minority Leader Jim Durkin texted, simply, “Trump lost.” Get used to the mixed messages as the Illinois GOP tries to unite a party still divided over basic facts nine months after the election.- Shia Kapos

— How to have a retirement worth saving for – LIZ WESTON

(FROM THE ARTICLE: LIVE PURPOSEFULLY Without work-imposed structure, some people start to drift, with one day blurring into the next. Setting goals and taking steps to achieve them can help restore a sense of purpose and achievement, O’Neill says. O’Neill started her post-Rutgers life by setting five goals: finishing the book she was writing; staying active in financial education; cultivating friendships; “doing lots of fun things and new things”; and staying healthy by walking 10,000 steps daily, eating healthy foods and getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night. (Tending to your physical well-being is key: 81% of retirees in a 2014 Merrill Lynch study cited good health as a key ingredient for a happy retirement.) Achieving specific, measurable goals can help people redefine their concept of productivity, which is important to many people’s sense of self-worth, O’Neill says. Goals also can help offset a tendency to put things off. People who are used to saving and delayed gratification may have trouble “flipping the switch” to spending and enjoying their lives, O’Neill says. But time, good health and energy aren’t infinite. Many people in her 55+ community in Ocala, Florida, struggled during the pandemic not just because their plans were canceled, but because of an acute awareness that the clock was ticking, she says. “It wasn’t just two years lost, it was two good years,” O’Neill says. “You don’t know how many of those you have left.”)
