HR
— How to Calculate Damages in a Slander Case (DIERSEN: I should sue those who have slandered me. Their slandering me has caused me to lose a tremendous amount of income.) 
https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/how-to-calculate-damages-in-a-slander-case-38152

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Actual damages can be calculated to a certain dollar amount. They include all those damages that the plaintiff directly suffered due to the slander. This may include lost wages, lost earning capacity or loss of business opportunities. These may include the actual amounts lost or the amounts that are likely to be lost because of the slander. To calculate lost earnings, the plaintiff can add up the wages that he or she lost from being out of work because of the slanderous statement. This also includes any employment benefits that were lost, such as using sick days or paid time off to deal with the slanderous statement. Lost earning capacity is more difficult to prove and generally requires expert testimony. An expert may have to testify about how the plaintiff’s diminished earning capacity will affect his or her lifetime earnings. For example, if a person was working a $100,000 job and the slander caused him or her to be fired and to be ostracized from the position and was only able to earn $50,000, the annual amount of damages would start at $50,000. Reasonable pay increases based on the individual’s employment record would also be taken into consideration, as well as his or her prospects for promotion. Inflation may also be taken into consideration. An expert may have to evaluate a variety of evidence in order to determine the difference between the plaintiff’s projected earnings before the slander in order to compare these with the projected earnings after the slander. The economic expert may examine the plaintiff’s tax returns, the current and projected economic state and the industry in which the plaintiff is employed and was employed. If the plaintiff was a business owner, his or her losses may include the loss of existing clients and the lost business opportunities. Former clients may be called to testify that they stopped doing business because of the slander. An economic expert may be necessary to testify about the economic impact of such lost business opportunities and business goodwill.)

Further, I fully disclose my demographics: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), patriotic, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc.) 
https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/460595-liberals-haunted-by-social-media-tactics-they-use-against-the-right
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The reason why liberal editors are so distraught that independent conservative journalists are publishing evidence of the racist, anti-Semitic, and otherwise vile sentiments expressed by their supposedly “objective” employees comes down — as it usually does — to power. Many journalists are in the profession not to inform the public, but to gain the power to destroy people who question them — and they don’t like those tactics being turned against them. “[U]sing journalistic techniques to target journalists and news organizations … is fundamentally different from the well-established role of the news media in scrutinizing people in positions of power,” the Times wrote in its article — which was of course labeled “news,” not “opinion.”)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/09/10/san-francisco-nra-domestic-terrorist-organization-lawsuit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “San Francisco’s actions pose a nonfrivolous constitutional threat,” the lawsuit argues. “Defendants are intent on targeting the NRA for its advocacy, chilling the NRA’s and its members’ rights of free speech and association under the First Amendment, all with an eye to silence the NRA from the debate on Second Amendment rights.” . . . “This action is an assault on all advocacy organizations across the country,” NRA lawyer William A.

It would rise to 3% on every dollar above $1 billion. She has said this would combat rising inequality. Critics have charged that the tax would be hard to administer and easy to avoid.

(FROM THE POSTING: Defamatory Statements One essential element in any defamation action is that the defendant knowingly or negligently published something defamatory about the plaintiff. A communication may be considered defamatory “if it tends so to harm the reputation of another as to lower him in the estimation of the community or to deter third persons from associating with him,” according to the American Restatement of Torts (or “The Restatement”). Examples of defamatory statements are virtually limitless and may include any of the following: . . . A communication that exposes a plaintiff to ridicule A communication that reflects negatively on the plaintiff’s character, morality, or integrity . . . A communication that suggests that the plaintiff suffers from a physical or mental defect that would cause others to refrain from associating with the plaintiff)

https://blogs.findlaw.com/blotter/2012/09/3-crimes-for-threatening-a-politician.html

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ever think of threatening a politician? With the endless loop of commercials and phone calls, it’s only our sanity and knowledge that threatening a politician may be a crime that stops most of us from doing so. But every year, a few people do lose it and lash out with threats and actions against a politician or political candidate.)

(FROM THE LETTER: Same sex marriages are legal and adoptions are now permitted. “Transing” from one gender to another is unusual no matter how you cut it. There is no reason for any hostility to gays and for those that have changed genders, but endorsing and even encouraging it is objectionable to many who have different views and believe strongly in the traditional family with one mom and one dad. There are celebs and great poets and philosophers who have been gay and have made contributions to society, no doubt about it. But the foundations for their good work had nothing to do with their sexual orientation.)

ATLANTIC
— Why Conservatives Are Turning Against Higher Education College isn’t providing an effective engine of upward mobility for most Americans. – Reihan Salam
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/08/higher-education-has-become-increasingly-partisan/596407/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At a recent gathering of conservatives, for example, Hawley drew a straight line from the declining economic prospects of non-college-educated workers to a number of social maladies. “Just about any American worker without a four-year college degree will have a hard time in the cosmopolitan economy. Maybe that’s one reason why marriage rates among working-class Americans are falling, why birth rates are falling, why life expectancy is falling. All the while, an epidemic of suicide and drug addiction ravages every sector, every age group, every geography of the working class.” This divergence of the economic prospects of the college-educated and non-college-educated is hardly a new development. What is new, though, is the growing interest among Republican lawmakers, Hawley included, in doing something about it legislatively. One implication of the senator’s remarks is that Congress ought to be more solicitous of the interests of the non-college-educated, and to that end the senator recently introduced legislation that, according to The Hill, would allow low-income students to use federal dollars currently earmarked for higher education to pursue vocational training. Leaving aside the merits of Hawley’s proposal, there is reason to believe that it is good politics, or rather good Republican politics. As the Pew Research Center finds in a new survey, there’s been a sharp increase in dissatisfaction with America’s colleges and universities among Republicans in recent years, and it makes perfect sense for right-of-center policy makers to want to do something about it. Consider the changing composition of America’s major-party coalitions. Shortly after the 2018 midterms, Adam Harris observed that the Trump presidency was accelerating the “diploma divide,” which refers to the starkly different voting patterns of college-educated white voters and those without a degree, a split that is unique to whites. In the midterms, Republicans did 16 points better among whites without a college degree, while securing the votes of only 45 percent of their college-educated counterparts. In contrast, when George H. W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis in 1988, he did so in part by winning college-educated white voters by 20 points. Another factor in the diploma divide is the gender gap in college attendance and completion. In the 1980s, women began graduating from college in higher numbers than men, and since then, their advantage has only widened. Today, you have to go up to the 60-and-over demographic before you find men outnumbering women among college graduates. The diploma divide has also had implications for partisan geography. When Republicans lost the House in 2006, half of their vulnerable seats were in districts that had more college graduates than the national average; that number was 70 percent for the 2018 midterms.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: Naperville residents, schools weigh in on recreational marijuana debate – ERIN HEGARTY
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-marijuana-naperville-dispensary-council-decision-st-20190901-4s4cxuncqjb3nann4ued3on7pi-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three members of the nine-person City Council have been consistent in their oppositions to recreational marijuana. They are Patty Gustin, Kevin Coyne and Paul Hinterlong. On the other side, Judy Brodhead, Benny White and Mayor Steve Chirico have shown support for allowing recreational marijuana retail sales. The remaining three council members, Patrick Kelly, John Krummen and Theresa Sullivan, are somewhere in the middle and likely will ultimately decide whether Naperville will allow recreational marijuana dispensaries. . .School districts 203 and 204 sent letters to the city noting their reservations about Illinois’ new marijuana law, which takes effect Jan. 1. Sales will be legal only to people 21 and older. “The District 203 Board of Education, speaking on behalf of the many students, parents, district staff and administrators and community, has serious concerns about the impact of recreational marijuana sales on the teens in our school district. We urge the City Council to consider the impact of its actions on the teens in our community,” District 203′s letter said. The School District 204 Board of Education raised similar concerns. “While it will remain illegal for our students to purchase recreational marijuana, we have concerns that the increased availability in our community may lead to potential issues at school,” the District 204′s letter says. “With easier access to recreational marijuana in our community, what will be the long-term cognitive impact on our youth who use the drug?” North Central College also sent a letter, which did not so much take a stance on the issue but pointed out that “because marijuana remains illegal under federal law and federal financial assistance remains important to the College and our students, marijuana will continue to be banned on our campus.”)

— Diamond and Silk Lawyer Up – Will Sommer (DIERSEN: I should send cease and desist letters to those who slander me. Better yet, I should sue them. They would argue that I am a “public figure,” and therefore, they have the right to slander me.)
https://www.thedailybeast.com/diamond-and-silk-lawyer-up
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pro-Trump vlogger duo Diamond and Silk are on a legal campaign this week, threatening to sue two bloggers unless they take down unflattering mentions of them. So far, though, the letters from the unnamed members of the “Diamond and Silk Legal Team”—which come with stern warnings not to share them publicly—have not worked as intended. The pair’s anonymous lawyer have sent at least two cease-and-desist aimed at stories that mention Diamond and Silk in connection with racist groups. One of the targeted blog posts, published on Wonkette, accused the African-American duo of helping to “prop up the most vile white supremacy.” Diamond and Silk’s mystery legal team wrote that the article “deliberately and maliciously slandered and defamed Diamond and Silk and the Diamond and Silk brand by deliberately and maliciously attaching their name to racist context.” The letter also includes a warning for Wonkette not to post about the letter: “This notice is not to be made public via online sources or any other sources in any manner.” Wonkette just made fun of the letter, published it in full anyway, and refused to take their story down.)

https://www.axios.com/trump-forgives-ousted-aide-speaking-reporters-887c9b5f-2c77-4204-bc1a-d6986860ea66.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Westerhout, whose access to the White House was revoked Thursday, made the off-the-record remarks at a dinner with reporters who were covering him during this month’s summer break in New Jersey. “Everything she said was off the record,” Trump told reporters. “And that still doesn’t really cover for her. She mentioned a couple of things about my children.” “I think the press is very dishonest because it was supposed to be off the record,” he added. “But, still, you don’t say things like she said, which were just a little bit hurtful to some people.” The president said Westerhout told him she had been drinking at the dinner. “She’s a very … good person,” Trump said. “I always felt she did a good job. … … I really think she had a bad night. … And I wish her well.” “[T]he press breaks off-the-records all the time because they are very dishonorable. Many of them. Not all of you, but many of them are very dishonorable.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— OUTSTANDING: Rally aims to persuade Naperville City Council to ban retail marijuana sales – SUZANNE BAKER (DIERSEN: Federal law and the Republican Party platform oppose recreational pot. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Everyone in Illinois who states that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, and especially Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains, Republican township/ward/county organization officials, Illinois Republican Party officials, and Republican elected and appointed officials, should speak out against the retail sale of pot at all upcoming meetings held by their municipality and county. Those who speak in favor of the retail sale of pot should immediately resign, and if not, be removed from office.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-opt-out-rally-st-0828-20190828-i6xh3flcfrethav6bgunyb3c24-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recently created group formed to persuade the Naperville City Council to ban the sale of recreational marijuana in the city will hold a rally Saturday to support those efforts. Naperville resident Jennifer Taylor said she organized the group, called Opt Out Naperville, and the rally to show council members how many people don’t want pot sold in the city. Taylor, who has spoken out against marijuana sales at the July 16 and Aug. 20 council meetings, said many people in the audience support her position. “Yet it feels like their voices are not being heard,” she said. “This is about keeping Naperville family-focused,” said Taylor, a mother of two. Saturday’s rally will start at 10 a.m. Saturday in Central Park, which is located one block east of Washington Street and just south of Benton Avenue.“ (The rally) is one of many avenues to show that the residents don’t this this here,” Taylor said. Opt Out Naperville also is hosting a gathering at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the free speech pavilion along the Riverwalk near Jackson Avenue and Webster Street, just before the Naperville City Council meeting at 7 p.m. Taylor said not everyone is able to attend the council meeting and the meetup is a way to show support. “This is one of the most important decisions that will be made on the dias. It will shape the future of Naperville,” she said. The city council will be at a crossroads the next time it discusses the retail sale of recreational marijuana, which becomes legal in Illinois Jan. 1. Last week the council directed staff develop a plan for what allowing recreational pot sales would look like. The previous month the council asked staff to prepare an ordinance for Naperville to opt out. Any decision likely may hinge on the vote of council member Patrick Kelly. Kelly voted last week with council members Judy Brodhead, John Krummen, Benny White and Mayor Steve Chirico in favor of asking city staff to prepare a plan for recreational marijuana sales. Last month he voted with council members Kevin Coyne, Patty Gustin, Paul Hinterlong and Theresa Sullivan on a plan to opt out. Coyne said he’s glad members of the community like Taylor are stepping up to take a leadership role on this issue. He said he’s heard from “a great many” from community opposed to pot sales in the city and expects many of those different stakeholders will attend the rally. During public comment at the meeting last week, support for and against recreational marijuana sales was generally split among the roughly 20 people who spoke on the issue. Those in favor of allowing recreational marijuana sales in Naperville, including Mayor Steve Chirico, have said banning retail pot sales in the city will simply drive residents to buy it elsewhere and let other communities realize the tax benefits. And those tax benefits could help offset any costs to Naperville related to marijuana use by its residents. Gustin, who plans to speak at the Saturday rally, said opting out is the best option because the city needs more time to study not only statistics from other municipalities that legalized pot but to analyze the effects of marijuana sales on the community. “Naperville is a family-friendly community. Naperville is a kid-friendly community. Naperville is an education-focused community,” Gustin said. “Opting-out is the smart thing to in an educated community.” [Most read] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot 100 days in — reform at City Hall still a work in progress: ‘We haven’t declared victory, but I think we’ve taken some very positive steps.’ The state’s fourth largest city may seem like an unlikely spot for a contentious debate on allowing recreational marijuana sales. It was one of the first Illinois cities in the area to raise the age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21 when it did so in 2016, more than two years before the age was raised statewide. The city was among the first to ban smoking in enclosed public places and the workplace. Naperville was also one of the first of Illinois’ largest cities to ban video gambling despite it being legal at the state level.)

USA TODAY
— An internship is a must-have for college graduates – Johnny C. Taylor Jr. (DIERSEN: Were you an intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a $60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)
