(FROM THE ARTICLE: Among the people meeting with the president-elect this weekend: the man who marshalled more outside money than anyone else to help Donald Trump win the White House. Todd Ricketts, a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs, helped raise at least $66 million for outside groups called Future 45 and the 45 Committee — a nod the incoming 45th president. Ricketts is emblematic of what a topsy-turvy election it has been. Before helping Trump, Ricketts was part of a super PAC that spent more than any other trying to stop him from winning the Republican nomination. Ricketts lives in Chicago and is a small business owner and board member of TD Ameritrade, which his billionaire father founded. Trump’s team is turning its attention to economic positions in the administration, including the Department of Commerce.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL

— Illinois official Michael Theodore: It’s legal for Grubhub to fire Trump voters  (DIERSEN: From what I see, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, ever-increasingly, employers do NOT want you if you are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, married, overweight, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511046468-illinois-official-it-s-legal-for-grubhub-to-fire-trump-voters
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the wake of Election Day, GrubHub CEO Matt Maloney wrote and sent out a mass email to his thousands of employees concerning the election of Donald Trump and their party affiliation and support. In the email, he asks that Trump supporters submit letters of resignation. “If you do not agree with this statement, then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here,” Maloney wrote in the email. Maloney openly had offered strong support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and in the email, he made negative remarks about Trump, calling his comments on immigrants “demeaning, insulting.” “I want to be clear that this behavior — and these views — have no place at GrubHub,” Maloney said in the email. So the question is: Can someone be hired or fired for supporting a political candidate, or for their general party affiliation and support? Is that discrimination? Michael Theodore, of the Illinois Department of Human Rights, offered an answer. “Political affiliation is not a protected class under the Illinois Human Rights Act,” Theodore told Chicago City Wire. Theodore said classes protected in Illinois under state law include “race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, military status, order of protection status, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, unfavorable military discharge, and physical and mental disability.” Thus, Maloney’s email to GrubHub’s employees is not considered discrimination, and employees can ultimately be hired or fired based on their political affiliation, Theodore said. “The department investigates charges on a case-by-case basis,” Theodore noted, inregard to workplace-discrimination cases. Kent Sezer, attorney for Neal and Leroy LLC, commented on Maloney’s email and told Chicago City Wire that nothing explicitly prevents private employers from discriminating against employees due to their political beliefs. “In general, private-sector employers may discriminate on the basis of political belief. The First Amendment applies only to public employees,” Sezer said. GrubHub falls under the classification of a public business because they have company stocks that can be traded by and with the public. Since the email, the mobile-food company’s stock price has dropped 5 percent. However, the email Maloney wrote and sent could impact GrubHub negatively and legally, Sezer said. “If the person is actually doing a good job, but happens to have voted the wrong way, the company risks being found guilty of violating one of the myriad laws that protect people in the workplace,” Sezer said. For management-side employees, Sezer recommends that they distance themselves from engaging in or promoting such political opinions at work. In addition, Sezer said it is always best to protect the interests of the company when firing an individual “by documenting the work-related reasons for the discharge.” “The bottom line is that although it is theoretically possible to fire someone in the private sector based on political belief, it would be risky,” Sezer said. In GrubHub’s email, Maloney did not explicitly fire any individuals, but he made it very clear that Trump supporters are not welcome. “I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best I can,” Maloney said in the email. Since the incident, there have been numerous Twitter and other social media followers of GrubHub calling for boycotts against the company. Based in Chicago, GrubHub has been in business since 2004. In addition to offices across the U.S., GrubHub also has offices in London and serves an average of over 200,000 daily food orders.)

USA TODAY
— Risky routes could be newest car insurance rate factor – Alex Glenn  (DIERSEN: Because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out, I drive my 2016 Ford Mustang, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max, 2005 Chevy Corvette, 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX, and 1972 Chevy Corvette very little and only on safe roads on beautiful days and never during the winter.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2016/11/14/route-risk-patent–car-insurance-rate-price/93287372/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Putting a price tag on car insurance has always been something of a guessing game. Insurers can’t monitor your driving 24/7, so they set rates using predictive factors such as your age and crash history. But some insurers have drawn up plans for analyzing risk that may change how they charge for auto insurance. Allstate recently became the latest insurer to file a patent application for a new pricing system that charges customers based on the riskiness of each trip — joining competitors such as State Farm and Travelers Insurance.  Using sophisticated tracking technology, in the future companies could customize drivers’ rates for each trip according to the roads they choose, the weather conditions and the number of passengers, among other factors. Drivers could check the recommended “cheapest,” aka less risky, route via smartphone or other device. While it remains to be seen what specific technology emerges, companies are signaling how auto insurance pricing might evolve with these patent applications. Choosing which road to take will become a bigger decision. For most drivers, getting from point A to point B doesn’t take much thought. But under trip-based insurance, you’d have to navigate more carefully — or potentially pay more for the outing. Allstate’s patent application proposes assigning “risk values” to stretches of road based on information such as accident patterns, geographic traits, weather and more. For example, turning left at an intersection could be deemed riskier than going straight based on the accident history at that intersection. Road segments with higher risk values would carry higher insurance costs. The goal is to “promote and reward risk mitigation” among customers, according to the patent. In essence, you could end up planning trips based on how much you’re willing to spend. Instead of buying car insurance in six- or 12-month policies, you’d buy “risk units” and ration them however you see fit.)

— Easy retirement for Americans? It’s only for a privileged few. – AP  (DIERSEN: What is your attitude toward those who are in line to get a pension or are getting a pension?  My envy-filled critics/opponents, their envy-filled operatives, and their envy-filled dupes a) have been furious since 1966 that I started earning credits toward a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension in 1966 when I was 18 years old and b) have been furious since 1997 when I started receiving a CSRS pension in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My envy-filled critics/opponents, their envy-filled operatives, and their envy-filled dupes who are not past or present federal employees or retirees 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 its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/17/us/burqa-ban-bill-georgia-trnd/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Georgia legislator said Thursday he will withdraw a bill that would have banned Muslim women from wearing burqas or veils while driving or when their driver’s license photos are taken. State Rep. Jason Spencer, on his official Facebook page, cited “the visceral reaction” created by the proposed legislation as his reason for withdrawing it. “While this bill does not contain language that specifically targets any group, I am mindful of the perception that it has created. My objective was to address radical elements that could pose a threat to public safety,” wrote Spencer. The bill was heavily criticized. Sheik Salahadin Wazir, host of the American Muslim Weekly Show, told CNN’s “New Day” that the bill would only help radicals by discriminating against Muslim women. “We should not aid and give to the radicals a gift,” he said. Spencer wanted to amend the state’s anti-masking statute, which was intended to ban Ku Klux Klan hoods and robes, and extend it to burqas, the full-body garment that many Muslim women wear. Spencer’s bill adds the word “she” and specifies that public property include public roads and highways. The bill also says public identification cards, including driver’s licenses, should not be issued to any person if his or her face is concealed. Spencer said the bill would have been able to “withstand legal scrutiny, but not political scrutiny.”)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-group-home-investigations-cila-met-20161117-htmlstory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The house had no address; the dead man had no name. Illinois officials blacked out those details from their investigative report. Nobody else was supposed to learn the man’s identity or the location of the state-funded facility where his body was found. The investigation was closed as it began, with no public disclosure, and the report was filed away, one of thousands that portray a hidden world of misery and harm. No one would know that Thomas Powers died at 3300 Essington Road in unincorporated Joliet, in a group home managed for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Or that his caregivers forced a 50-year-old man with the intellect of a small child to sleep on a soiled mattress on the floor in a room used for storage. Or that the front door bore a building inspection sticker that warned, “Not approved for occupancy.” Not even Powers’ grieving family knew the state had looked into his death and found evidence of neglect. As Illinois steers thousands of low-income adults with disabilities into private group homes, a Tribune investigation found Powers was but one of many casualties in a botched strategy to save money and give some of the state’s poorest and most vulnerable residents a better life. In the first comprehensive accounting of mistreatment inside Illinois’ taxpayer-funded group homes and their day programs, the Tribune uncovered a system where caregivers often failed to provide basic care while regulators cloaked harm and death with secrecy and silence.)

— Park Ridge Disappointed As Donald Trumps Hillary – ANNE LUNDE
http://www.journal-topics.com/news/article_2a2261b6-ac39-11e6-9d68-9bbbdfecaead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t get quite enough electoral votes to win the White House on Nov. 8, but it wasn’t due to any failure from her home town of Park Ridge, which gave her a 14% lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump. There was initial hope at a local gathering organized by Hillary supporters of all persuasions, held at the Centennial Activity Center, especially when the ABC national anchor team announced moments after the Illinois polls closed at 7 p.m. (Central time) that she and running mate Timothy Kaine had won Illinois. The key was not getting the popular vote, which Clinton appeared to be winning nationally with 47.61% over Trump’s 47.28% based on election night unofficial reports. The winner had to have a majority of electoral college votes, which are determined by different formulas by state. Trump received 290 electoral votes, well ahead of Clinton’s 232, based on returns announced on election night. Her blue-colored states on the national map clustered out east, and on parts of the west coast. Trump’s campaign captured many of the states which were initially too close to call, leaving a sea of Republican “red” on the map by the end of the evening. Neither Libertarian Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld or the Green Party’s Jill Stein with her running mate Alumu Baraka earned electoral votes. In Park Ridge, only three precincts gave Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, a majority of the popular vote: In Maine 43, Trump had 266 votes to Clinton’s 237, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 67, Trump received 458 to Clinton’s 407, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 88, Trump had 230 to Clinton’s 180, Johnson’s 31 and Stein’s 5. Clinton carried the rest of Park Ridge’s Maine precincts, Leyden 23, and Norwood Park Township’s precincts 3, 11 and 14. Local precinct totals in Park Ridge put Clinton ahead overall, earning 11,123 (54.30%), followed by Trump with 8,255 (40.30%), Johnson’s 842 (4.10%) and Stein’s 249 (1.21%).)

CAPITOL FAX
— BEYOND TRAGIC: Pot revenues jump in Colorado
http://capitolfax.com/2016/11/17/pot-revenues-jump-in-colorado/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I went to Denver last weekend on a spur of the moment break just to get the heck outta here for a bit. The flight was cheap, the hotel wasn’t bad and the steaks were awesome. Denver is not a very walkable city, but I liked it. And unless you went to a couple of different “hipster” strips, the pot shops were practically invisible. Yeah, I smelled it walking down the street a couple of times, but I’ve smelled pot in Bucktown, too. So, really, if you weren’t looking for it you didn’t notice it. One reason for that is people aren’t legally allowed to consume the product in public places. You have to smoke it in your home. So, if you don’t live in Denver or live in a building that forbids smoking, you have to smoke it on the sly. My hotel, for instance, imposed $500 fines and immediate evictions if caught smoking weed in your room or even on your room’s balcony. Of course, regulating the public consumption of “edibles” is a lot tougher. But Denver’s voters just approved a public consumption ordinance by a 53-47 margin. So things are about to change…  Even with the restrictions, pot tourism is already a big thing out there. Every waiter I had assumed that’s why I was in town (maybe it’s the beard). But public consumption will surely attract more people, as long as they work to keep everything reasonable.  A legalized, regulated and taxed production, distribution and consumption chain is the ideal way of doing things. If you buy weed in Denver you’re not supporting criminals. Thumbs up!)

What is the attitude of those in your precinct who voted for Clinton toward those in your precinct who voted for Trump?)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-liberal-meltdown-kass-1117-20161116-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The liberal Democratic meltdown continues: the whining, the weeping, the blaming of Hillary Clinton, the gnashing of teeth and those heartbreaking, sighing questions about whether life is worth living anymore. And that’s not just in America’s newsrooms, either, but in many other places too. Outside newsrooms, half the country is in political mourning, the other half is still relishing the election. And if they don’t relish the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency exactly, they’re at least celebrating those videos shared on social media, of precious TV talking heads and pundits laughing hysterically while mocking the “uneducated” and the “deplorables” who didn’t have the wits to deny Hillary her Restoration.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than half of Hillary Clinton’s 2.9 million Illinois votes came from Cook County, with most of her remainder drawing from the other highly populated counties. And while President-elect Donald Trump won 91 of the state’s 102 counties, that was not enough to turn Illinois red like its neighbors. The trend of highly populated places voting Democratic and the surrounding, less populated areas voting Republican was a pattern repeated across the country. How deeply did that trend play out in Illinois?)

http://www.wandtv.com/story/33728027/apnewsbreak-va-whistleblower-resigns-citing-retaliation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Department of Veterans Affairs employee who told Congress the agency was using unauthorized wait lists for mental health care in Colorado has resigned, saying he was subjected to retaliation for speaking out. Brian Smothers told The Associated Press Wednesday the VA had opened two separate inquiries into his actions and tried to get him to sign a statement saying he had broken VA rules. He said he refused. Smothers also said the VA reassigned him to an office with no computer access, no significant duties and no social contact. He called the VA’s actions punitive and his working conditions intolerable. He said he resigned as of Tuesday. VA officials had no immediate comment on Smothers’ claim that he was punished for speaking up but said the agency does not tolerate retaliation. They said previously they take any allegation about unauthorized wait lists seriously and were cooperating with an inquiry.)

CHICAGOIST
— Rahm Calls Out Rauner, Trump As Budget Sails Through City Council – STEPHEN GOSSETT
http://chicagoist.com/2016/11/16/trump_rauner_budget.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Aldermen introduced a resolution that urged Rauner to defend undocumented immigrants and support Chicago’s sanctuary-city status. Rauner danced around the topic of Trump in the months preceding the election, trying to not embolden Democrats or hurt Republican chances in downstate races where red-leaning voters are more fond of Donald. The governor still seems shy about even speaking the president’s name. According to Tribune City Hall reporter John Byrne, Emanuel received a standing ovation from the City Council after an immigrant-support speech in which the mayor said Trump “uses a stereotype [of Jews] to justify he’s not anti-Semitic.” Emanuel on Sunday evening released a statement confirming that Chicago would stay a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants, a pronouncement he reaffirmed at a press conference on Monday with several local officials. Emanuel—who, it should be said, accepted $50,000 in donations from Trump in 2010—began to publicly challenge Trump most notably during the honorary street sign kerfuffle.)

THE BLAZE
— More millennials came out to vote for Donald Trump than expected – Brandon Morse (DIERSEN: Why?)
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/16/more-millennials-came-out-to-vote-for-donald-trump-than-expected/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our pre-election poll of Millennials ages 18-34 had Clinton 49% vs. Trump 28%, a 21-point preference for the Democratic candidate. The National Exit Poll suggests that the actual split in the election was 55% for Clinton to 37% for Trump (an 18-point gap) among youth aged 18-29. Throughout the election season, our analysis has emphasized the demographic and ideological heterogeneity of Millennials, contradicting facile generalizations that characterize them as the “Obama generation.” In particular, there are regularly stark differences in ideology and issue positions among Millennials of different races, genders, and socioeconomic status.)

THE LEDGER
— Trump vs. the federal bureaucracy – Betsy McCaughey  (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Who sides with my Democrat superiors, my Democrat supervisors, my Democrat coworkers, and my Democrat subordinates in the federal government against me?  ANSWER: Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs. I should write a book about the aforesaid in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois.)
http://www.theledger.com/opinion/20161117/mccaughey-trump-vs-federal-bureaucracy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s triumph over Hillary Clinton presages an even bigger battle against the heart of the Democratic establishment: the federal workforce. This army of bureaucrats – almost 3 million strong – gave Clinton a large majority of their votes and more than 90 percent of their campaign contributions. Count on federal workers and their union bosses to use every trick in the book to block Trump’s reform agenda. Trump’s ability to fix the Department of Veterans Affairs, clean up IRS abuses, rollback job-killing regulations and get taxpayers’ their money’s worth all hinge on uprooting the entrenched civil service. Newt Gingrich, a top Trump adviser, warns that “if you don’t fix this problem, nothing in government is going to work.” That’s a tall order. The bureaucracy generally retains its vise-like grip on the executive branch, as presidents come and go. Public unions are already digging in for a fight. Responding to the election, J. David Cox, President of the American Federation of Government Employees dismissed Trump’s plans as more or less irrelevant. AFGE members have their own big-government agenda, and “that never changes no matter who sits in the White House.” Protection of the status quo at any cost. Even death. Thousands of sick vets died at the VA because of employee self-dealing. Bureaucrats doctored the medical wait lists to earn bonuses while vets languished without care. Despite Congress enacting “reforms” and President Barack Obama appointing a new VA secretary in 2014, the bureaucracy continues to block giving vets access to civilian care. How impossible is it to fire anyone at the VA? A surgeon found guilty of abandoning a patient on the operating table and leaving the medical center still got an $11,000 bonus. Candidate Trump promised to make swift changes at the VA. Exit polls show military families voted for him 2-1 over Clinton. Dan Caldwell of Concerned Veterans for America says he’s encouraged to see civil service reform at the top of Trump’s agenda.)

They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, c) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, d) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, e) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, f) are operatives for the aforesaid, and/or g) are dupes for the aforesaid.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— The Privilege That Wasn’t – ERICKA ANDERSEN  (DIERSEN: Are you White?  My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, virtually all of whom are White, have always attributed the successes that I have had in life to my being White, that is, to White privilege.  They shout that I have never been adversely impacted by political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.)
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442208/white-privilege-donald-trump-voters-election-lessons-race
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The experience of many white people across the country is the opposite of privilege. Many of those in the public eye have assigned “privilege” to all white people. Recently, I’ve seen several people share a quote on social media that reads, “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” The assertion is that Trump voters don’t recognize their privilege over marginalized groups seeking equality. But quite a few people are missing a big part of the picture. For a good many white people in the U.S., “privilege” is not a word they relate to. And equality — as far as attention to the problems they are facing — is something they too want our leaders to give them. And it’s hard for members of the media, the cultural elite, and many minority groups to grasp that. The intent in focusing on white privilege (which I do believe is real for many) is not wrong — but it’s sometimes misguided. To understand where that focus has gone wrong is not to downplay the very real problems that do face minority groups in this country. But let’s talk about another side of the coin when it comes to white privilege. Part of what drove the Trump takeover of 2016 was the fact that liberal culture is obsessed with identity politics based on race and sex, having all but forgotten anyone who isn’t a racial, ethnic, or sexual minority — and the bread-and-butter issues that exist outside of those categories.  Classism is a very real thing too — and this year, the white working class of America stood up and said very loudly: You’ve forgotten about us.)

BREITBART
— Google, Facebook to Defund Conservative Sites as ‘Fake News’ – Chriss W. Street  (DIERSEN: Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, and without question, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GOPUSA Illinois emails and
www.gopillinois.com are full of “fake news.”)
http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/11/16/google-facebook-to-defund-conservative-sites-as-fake-news/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google and Facebook took steps on November 14 to ban “fake news” content publishers from generating a cut of advertising revenues through Google AdSense and Facebook Audience Network, a move that “disproportionately impacted right-wing news sites.” Breitbart News reported shortly after the November 8 election that the left blamed Donald Trump’s victory on Facebook’s unwillingness to stop the proliferation of “fake news” that spread “blatantly inaccurate information” about Hillary Clinton regarding Benghazi, emails and the probability of her being indicted by the FBI. A chorus of established mainstream media outlets has been demanding Facebook and Google change their algorithms so that populist candidates, like Donald Trump, cannot have a “cheap megaphone” to use “fake news” convert new people into followers. BuzzFeed claimed its investigation of fake news found 38 percent of posts shared from three large right-wing politics pages on Facebook included “false or misleading information,” while three large left-wing pages did so less than 20 percent of the time. Buzzfeed added that it found 140 fake news sites from Macedonia that supported Trump. According to a new report from Gizmodo, Facebook took “steps to suppress fake news earlier this year,” despite knowing it would have “disproportionately impacted right-wing news sites by downgrading or removing that content from people’s feeds.” But Facebook backed-off the move after Breitbart News reported in May that former Facebook contractors said they had “routinely suppressed conservative-oriented news articles from the trending news section.” The contractors specifically highlighted preventing “organically trending” posts on Facebook’s highly-influential News Feed section from conservatives reporting about Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and the huge 2016 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which attracted 30,000 attendees. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg first denied any knowledge of “bias” against conservatives. But he was forced to admit some former Facebook employees that curated content might “unintentionally” have been biased against conservatives, after the revelations sparked a Senate Commerce Committee probe of News Feed. To counter progressive workforce “biases,” Facebook took the extraordinary step of firing all News Feed curators and agreeing to stop allowing the liberal New York Times, CNN, NBC News, Washington Post and BuzzFeed to dominate News Feed postings. Google and Facebook have had strict policies, using a combination of algorithms and human moderation, to decide whether a site is eligible to use its advertising service. But that tactic has mostly been used to deny pornographic websites from collecting click advertising dollars. But with the visibility of the election over, Google has stated that it has updated its AdSense “policy” to ban sites that “misrepresent, misstate, or conceal information.” Websites that do not comply with this rule will be banned from using Google AdSense. Facebook acknowledged that it has also updated policies to prevent fake news sites from using the company’s Audience Network ad inventories.)

— Shimkus, in Bid for Chair, May Struggle with Goal to Roll Back Agency Authority – Kyle Daly (DIERSEN: Shimkus would agree with the decision in David J. Diersen v. Chicago Car Exchange, Inc., 110 F.3d 481 (7th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 118 S.Ct. 178 (1997) (
http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-7th-circuit/1385001.html) The lawsuit involved the Federal Odometer Act (FOA), the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) authority to grant exemptions from the FOA. On September 16, 1996, I presented oral arguments to Chief Judge Posner and to Circuit Court Judges Coffey and Kanne.  On March 31, 1997, the Appellate Court agreed with me that DOT had exceeded its authority and ruled that DOT’s exemptions from the FOA, including for cars over 10 years old, were invalid.)

http://thefederalistpapers.org/us/the-difference-between-growing-up-in-the-1960s-compared-to-2016
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Seth Connell reports that in August of this year, campus carry went into effect on Texas’ public college campuses, enabling students and staff with valid concealed handgun licenses to legally carry their firearms. Predictably, leftists freaked out at the idea of people legally carrying firearms in their “safe spaces.”  As we reported back in August, the most famous form of protest on Texas college campuses was “Cocks Not Glocks,” a movement where students who opposed campus carry took adult sex toys with them all across the campus. Despite these protestations, campus carry is in effect in Texas, and there is not mass murder happening in dorms, classrooms, or professors’ offices. Who’d have thunk, right?  Well, it turns out that “Cocks no Glocks” is not going away any time soon. In fact, they have been invited to The White House as a kind of reward for their childish, bratty temper tantrums.)

— TRUMP SUPPORTER BEATEN ON WEST SIDE EXPLAINS WHY HE DIDN’T FIGHT BACK – Chuck Goudie and Christine Tresse  (DIERSEN: To avoid being harmed by Clinton supporters, Trump supporters may want avoid precincts, townships/wards, and counties where lots of people voted for Clinton.  In the interest of full disclosure, about 56% of those in my precinct (on average about one person per residence), 53% in Milton Township, and 53% in DuPage County who voted for U.S. President voted for Clinton.  I could point out homes in my precinct in which one or more of the residents are filled with hatred of not only Trump, but of all those like me who share his demographics.)
http://abc7chicago.com/news/trump-supporter-beaten-on-west-side-explains-why-he-didnt-fight-back/1607016/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Donald Trump supporter who was beaten by a mob of teenagers in a Chicago intersection said he didn’t fight back for a reason. Victim David Wilcox retreated and curled up into a ball, but not because he was afraid of being hurt. He told the I-Team that he was terrified of fighting back and going to prison where he has spent many years of his adult life. The video of the beating was seen by millions around the world, but this is the first time we learn the back story. After the incident, Wilcox told the public: “I’m not a violent person. I haven’t been in a long time.” On Monday, he explained to the I-Team what he meant. Wilcox said he hasn’t been violent since what happened in Chicago’s Sauganash neighborhood in August 1986, the last time Wilcox was attacked on a public street. He was 20 years old at the time and outside a house party on Kenneth Avenue, Wilcox said he and his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend were attacked by several men he’d been feuding with. “He ran up on me with a baseball bat and beat up on me” Wilcox told the I-Team on Monday. “I stabbed the guy and he died…They were aggressors. They started the fight.” Wilcox was convicted of murder and sent to Stateville prison after he was sentenced to 20 years. He served nearly seven-and-a-half years after an appeal dropped the charge to manslaughter. “I’d rather get stabbed and die than go back to prison,” Wilcox said Monday. For Wilcox, it wasn’t just one experience in prison that has him fearful of being locked up again. According to Illinois Department of Corrections officials, he’s been in state prison nine times in the past 30 years. His was arrested for retail theft and, in 2013, faced a marijuana charge in Cook County. When last week’s traffic altercation grew into a Trump-bashing incident, Wilcox defended himself by retreating and later explained the incident just as he explained the 1986 killing he was involved in. “She was the first one who threw a punch,” Wilcox said. As the punches landed, Wilcox was dazed because he had prayed to god to never put him in a violent situation again. And if those who beat him last week are ever arrested, his hope for their punishment comes from experience: “I’m gonna be at every court date and I’m gonna make sure I can do everything I can to where they get locked up,” Wilcox said. He would like to see them locked up in the kind of place where Wilcox says he was — in Stateville, where in the 1980s he says white inmates were unwelcome guests, adding that he has PTSD from his days there. None of this changes the fact that Wilcox was the victim of an angry crowd. But it does explain why he didn’t fight back.)

Kennedy. Huffington Post could only point out that Trump will be fulfilling a campaign pledge. USA Today insinuated that Trump’s campaign pledge derived from the Republicans’ ire towards Obama and Obama’s golfing trips.  CBS News could only say the following: “From the very beginning, Trump has promised that he’d set businesses concerns aside if he was elected. In fact, he told “Face The Nation” moderator John Dickerson last October that he’s been “phasing out” his role throughout his campaign.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— How to Reform the Civil Service – Bruce Walker  (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who are overjoyed that the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old?)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/11/how_to_reform_the_civil_service.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas Lifson has correctly observed that reforming the Civil Service System ought to be a high priority for President-Elect Trump and the new Republican Congress. We need to understand why the Civil Service System first created as a reform in how the federal government operated. “To the victors go the spoils” was the way Andrew Jackson put it almost 200 years ago. Jackson expressed the view that the president has the right – legal and moral – to throw out government employees and replace them with cronies. The size of the federal government was proportionately much smaller then than today, and those political allies rewarded with jobs to deliver the mail or to collect tariffs seemed innocuous enough, at least until President Garfield was assassinated by a disgruntled federal office seeker in 1881.  The Pendleton Act of 1883 created a system in which those who sought federal jobs, except for a layer of high-level executives, had to pass an objective hiring system. The second part of Civil Service System reforms was to create protections that made it difficult – really, almost impossible – for any Civil Service System employee ever to lose his job.  This is the heart of the problem.  Presidents can fill the upper echelon of federal agencies with whomever they want (except for the few who require Senate confirmation), and presidents can fire these people easily enough as well.  But no one – not even these high-level political appointees – can fire anyone. Ironically, the problems with the spoils system had nothing to do with firing federal employees, but only with hiring federal employees.  The right reform is simple enough: allow the president to fire any federal employee in the Executive Branch at will, but keep the system in place only for hiring through the Civil Service System. A president would then have the power to fire lazy, dishonest, rude, or unnecessary federal employees, but he could have no power to fill those positions he caused by firing bad federal employees with his supporters or partisans.  So if a federal employee took the Fifth Amendment in an investigation of federal malfeasance, something that Thomas Lifson correctly noted was intolerable, the next day, that employee could be told, “You can either refuse to answer questions or keep your federal job, but not both.” If President Trump brought in business experts to analyze federal operations and detect waste and inefficiency, then President Trump could do what he did so often in his reality television show and fire those who are unnecessary. Anyone familiar with the internal operations of government knows that 30% is a conservative figure for the number of federal employees who do nothing.  Allowing a tough, business-oriented president like Trump to dramatically reduce the size of the federal government would also reduce the cost of government – and all this could be done expeditiously. Federal employees would instantly become not only more efficient, but more polite and responsive to the public (i.e., the folks who pay their salaries).  More than that, coworkers in offices would strongly encourage politeness and civility, because the more complaints a particular office caused, the more likely that office would be to get a bad reputation, and people in that office would be fired. What about the danger of a president forcing people to support him or lose their jobs?  Civil servants ought to be completely apolitical anyway and ought not to contribute to any political campaign or to work for any candidate.  If that was the case in practice, then the president could not know who did not support him and, because all hiring was objective and removed from the president’s power, he could not hire any friends. If the president could not reward anyone by firing a federal employee but could only punish the federal employee by firing him, he would have every incentive to be fair in firing federal employees.  Politicians know that punishing voters loses votes not only because that voter, who may have supported the president, would be unhappy, but because every fired employee has family and friends and neighbors and congregants at his church, and firing an employee causes ill will among all those close to the fired employee. This is a reform is easy to understand and would make sense to the American voter.  Best of all, it would work.  Civility, efficiency, and integrity in the administration of the federal government would improve almost at once.)

Priebus led the famous “autopsy” of the GOP after its loss in the 2012 election, which recommended shortening the primary season and endorsing immigration reform as a way of reaching out to Latino voters. Priebus made an unsuccessful run for the Wisconsin state senate and in 2007 became chairman of the state GOP. In 2010, he helped elect Republican Scott Walker as governor and a GOP majority in the state Legislature, and it was clear his star was on the rise.)

DAILY HERALD
— Bolingbrook mayor Roger Claar hosted Trump, will go to inauguration – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161114/news/161119481/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar got a lot of blowback from local residents when he announced he’d be hosting Donald Trump in town for a September fundraiser. Now he’s making plans to attend the Republican business tycoon’s presidential inauguration. Claar says he jumped on the Trump bandwagon early because he was “tired of Republican leadership in Washington. Democrats weren’t getting anything done, either.” While he knew Illinois — which Tuesday was a blue island among a sea of red states — would go Democrat Hillary Clinton’s way, Claar says money talks, and hosting fundraisers was a way to get some attention. “He wasn’t coming here to build an organization,” Claar says of Trump. “There weren’t a lot of people who stepped up for Trump in Illinois or in the Illinois Republican Party. I was embarrassed about that.” Claar said in recent months he’s had two one-on-one conversations with Trump, including one, in June, where Trump asked for an opinion on who he should select as vice president. “I don’t think he picked him because I suggested it, but I said (Indiana governor) Mike Pence would be outstanding.” As far as keeping in contact? “It’s kind of a one-way street, and that’s his way, not mine,” Claar says. “But if he were to come back to Illinois, I’d want to be part of that, sure.”)

— Quigley worries Chicago sanctuary city rules imperil federal funding under Trump – Hal Dardick  (DIERSEN: One big reason why Trump won and Clinton lost was that Democrats and RINOs encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.  Those Americans who have been harmed by the aforesaid voted for Trump.  Democrats and RINOs put the interests of foreign countries and their citizens ahead the interests of America and its citizens.)

My critics/opponents got their operatives and their dupes, including two CPAs, to not only publicly question my plan, but to publicly badmouth my plan.)

— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Millennial parents embrace saving for college – Steve Rosen  (DIERSEN: When you were in grade school and in high school, did those around you believe that you were “college material?”  Few around me believed that a) because neither my parents nor any of my ancestors had attended college, b) because my father was only the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, and c) because my mother had never attended high school.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps get Trump to admit that some of his supporters harass minorities.  Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, and without question, anti-Trumps hint/imply/argue/shout that all of Trump’s supporters either harass minorities or want to harass minorities, that is, that they are racists.  Have you ever been supervised by, worked with, and/or supervised minorities?  All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, I was supervised by, I worked with, and/or I supervised minorities. Very few of my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have been supervised by, worked with, and/or supervised minorities.

STATE OF ILLINOIS
— State of Illinois Encourages Veterans and Service Members to “Know Your Rights”  (DIERSEN: I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management.  Potential employers viewed me as being “draft bait” because I had passed the physical examination, my draft number had been called, and they did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be granted.)

— Students Defend Donald Trump’s Appeal to ‘the People Progress Forgot’ – Josephine Chu  (DIERSEN: What do you say held back your career progress the most?  For me, it would be political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, otherwise known as Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.  If I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old in 1988.)

FED SMITH
— Education Department in Crosshairs of New Administration? – Ralph R. Smith  (DIERSEN: All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997, and especially 1989-1997, the agency was in congressional crosshairs.  The agency responded by wasting the careers of and by getting rid of its employees like me who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— 6 Ways to Stretch Your Retirement Income – Sarah Szczypinski  (DIERSEN: What is or will be your retirement income?  My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically less because my Democrat superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
