https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/local-news/indigenous-peoples-day-or-columbus-day-bloomington-council-will-decide-next-meeting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The council instead voting to table the discussions, passing the ordinance to city staff who will work to create a new resolution. The idea came from council member Jenn Carrillo who says instead of celebrating Columbus local business leaders should encourage the community to learn the history of native Americans and grieve at how they were treated. She says this is not meant to deny someone a day of pride but rather begin reparations for actions she says still have affects today. “When we lift up Columbus’s history,” Carrillo said. “We are lifting up a history of colonialism, genocide and white supremacy. That has no place in our world in 2020.” Several community members spoke during public comment against Carrillo’s decision. Many believe renaming the day is seen as a way of reversing history. “Don’t listen to these people guilt you about Columbus,” said Becky Swan to the council. “That was 300 years ago, this is Bloomington, this is today, what are you going to do in 2020.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Republicans are fuming that the Illinois Supreme Court has replaced Justice Thomas Kilbride, who lost his retention race last week, with a Democratic ally, saying the judicial maneuver is a slap in the face to voters. Justices voted 6-0 to name Appellate Judge Robert Carter to the bench as a placeholder until an election is held in two years. Carter is 74 and says he won’t run. “This is an outrageous decision,” Jon Zahm, who heads the Vote No for Kilbride committee, posted on Facebook. “The voters made clear they did not want politics as usual on the Supreme Court, as they voted an end to the 4-3 Democrat stranglehold on blocking important issues like fair maps, pension reform, lawsuit reform, and term limits.” Zahm said the three Republican justices “should have voted no and left the seat unfilled until the next election.” The hand-wringing over Kilbride’s replacement comes after Zahm and other Republicans waged a fierce battle to remake the highest court. They say Kilbride is beholden to Madigan and they point to an opinion he wrote that removed a referendum on the 2016 ballot that would have taken away Madigan’s power on redistricting. The House speaker donated $550,000 to Kilbride’s campaign to stay on the bench — he won 56 percent of the vote but needed 60 percent to keep his seat. Former 3rd District Appellate Court Judge Kent Slater, a Republican, told the Tribune’s Ray Long that Carter had been Kilbride’s choice to hold an appointed seat on the appellate for several years. “It’s like the Supreme Court’s patronage,” Slater said. – Shia Kapos

— OCTOBER 13, 2020 FLASHBACK: A group of Democratic south suburban mayors and elected officials have filed suit against the Democratic Bloom Township committeeman, Lori Wilcox, because of her plan to hold an in-person, candidate slating caucus in December rather than an open, spring primary for the 2021 municipal and township elections. Given the caucus typically draws 300 to 400 people in the same room, such a meeting would violate the governor’s executive order on large gatherings. The mayors group is concerned about a “super spreader event” if Wilcox’s planned candidate slating caucus moves forward. The emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction filed by the Del Galdo Law Group will be heard Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court. Wilcox told Playbook she had not yet seen the lawsuit and declined to comment. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: What is the status of this?)

How much turnover has there been in your county during the last 5, 10, 15, 20, 25+ years, that is, how many hypocritical hate-filled Republican-hating Republican-haters have moved into your county to hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there?

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/latest-updates-biden-trump-election-2020/card/32vHNFTTc2xxNr7NITHY
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America’s political divisions are also economic divisions – and they are widening. That’s one message that comes through in the visual story-telling from our graphics team, published today, which shows how Republicans and Democrats are increasingly divided by the education levels, racial diversity and the amount of urban or rural character to their communities. Now, the Brookings Institution adds to the finding of a growing divide between metropolitan and non-metropolitan America. Joe Biden last week won 16% of the nation’s counties, but those counties account for 70% of nation’s economic activity, Brookings analysts report. By contrast, President Trump won 84% of counties, accounting for less than 30% of GDP. Their work shows an increasing divide between a high-output, Democratic-leaning part of the nation and a lower-output, Republican-leaning set of communities. In 2016, Brookings analysts found, Democrat Hillary Clinton won counties accounting for 64% of economic output, compared with Mr. Biden’s 70% share. Mr. Trump in 2016 won counties accounting for 36% of economic output, compared with his share of under 30% this year. That finding adds new data to a trend that the Journal also documented last year, showing that the two parties, in many ways, live in two different economies.)

— IL GOP voters vow to continue fight for President Trump – Will Jones (DIERSEN: What have the following said about Biden’s claiming victory: present and past leaders of a) the Illinois Republican Party, b) your Republican county party organization, and c) your Republican township/ward party organization? According to NBC News, Hillary Clinton said that Biden should not concede the election ‘under any circumstances.’ SEE: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/hillary-clinton-says-biden-should-not-concede-2020-election-under-n1238156 )
https://abc7chicago.com/donald-trump-election-president-2020-news/7753441/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some local Republicans who cast their ballots for President Trump are also vowing to continue the fight to keep him in the White House, adding that this election isn’t over. “We are in the second inning of this ball game, second. And the fact that people are rushing to come to a conclusion and to name a winner is absolutely ridiculous,” said Laura Pollastrini, 2020 Trump Delegate. They said ballots have yet to be counted and the president should not concede. “We know that he is a fighter. That is one of the reasons why we got elected four years ago,” said Will County GOP Chairman George Pearson. . .Going forward the Republicans voters said that the Republican Party should continue to follow President Trump’s blueprint on how to fight back.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Suburban school board member spoke up about racial injustice, then board tried to silence her “I’m not fitting into their box, I guess, because their box leaves out so many people,” said Jill Manrique, school board vice president at Niles Township District 219. – Nader Issa (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, Republicans are silenced. Ever-increasingly, under the moderates and under the liberals, conservatives are silenced.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/education/2020/11/8/21554574/niles-schools-racism-school-board-social-injustice
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jill Manrique feels she made her views on social injustice clear leading up to her election to the Niles Township school board in spring 2019. When another board hopeful, answering a question about racial equity at a candidate forum, said the district needed to be careful about “reverse racism,” Manrique chimed in, saying that concept isn’t real and explained why it’s important to fight for families of color. And since she was elected to the District 219 board that runs Niles West and Niles North high schools in north suburban Skokie, Manrique believes she has lived up to voters’ expectations that she would work toward social justice. A year and a half later, Manrique’s continued expression of those beliefs has been appreciated by some parents but caused uproar among others — so much so that her fellow board members adopted a resolution in a 5-2 vote last month that essentially aimed to silence her. Manrique, the board vice president, had “disparaged community members with viewpoints that are contrary to her own” and had “taken positions on controversial political and social issues” that don’t represent the board, the resolution read. The board accused Manrique of using social media to “disrespectfully respond to community members who have complained about her Twitter comments, at times mocking said community members.” The board “implores” Manrique to stop adversely impacting the district, it said. Board President David Ko said in a statement the resolution was meant to make clear that Manrique does not speak on behalf of the board. He did not answer several questions.)

TRUMP/PENCE CAMPAIGN
— The media does NOT decide who is President
https://secure.winred.com/tmagac/election-defense-fund-cond
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: This Election is far from over. We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: THEY DON’T WANT THE TRUTH TO BE EXPOSED. Joe Biden has NOT been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or any states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. The American People are entitled to an honest Election; that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our Election. The Biden campaign wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20201108/liz-weston-the-upsides-to-thinking-about-when-you-will-die
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social Security’s life expectancy calculator predicts I’ll live to about 86. An insurance company’s version says I should expect to die at 98. A longevity calculator created by actuaries demurs, putting the odds at only 32% that I’ll make it to 95. Eventually, I’ll find out which life expectancy calculator was most accurate. In the meantime, the different results help illustrate one of the most important and difficult calculations in retirement planning: figuring out when it will end. People who underestimate their life expectancy could save too little for retirement and run short of cash. People who overestimate how long they’ll live might stay in the workforce longer than they want to or spend less in retirement than they could.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Former journalist receives AP survey, laughs out loud at huge bias in questions – Laura Peterson-Lytle
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/10/former_journalist_receives_ap_survey_laughs_out_loud_at_huge_bias_in_questions.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The postcard even goes on to describe the AP as an “independent, not-for-profit news organization committed to the highest standard of objective, accurate journalism for the past 170 years.” Yes, I will admit, I laughed. Looking back, it now serves as a bright, neon, flashing sign of how dishonest and standardless the poll would turn out to be. . .The poll goes on to ask many questions that are intentionally, manipulatively inaccurate, and others that are structured to allow the AP to interpret to suit its predetermined goal. For example, in attempting to gauge the respondent’s primary issues of importance, one question asked if the “economic downturn” would factor into his selection process. The possible answers to that question range from “very likely” to “not at all.” The obvious question is what economic downturn, but the poll does not allow one to ask. Essentially, the poll attempts to subconsciously plant the idea that some undisputed “economic downturn” is taking place. Was the question referencing the economic downturn in Democrat-run, riot- and looting-ridden cities that have shut down and forbidden life outside liberal rabble-rousing? If so, it should clearly state such. That is not what the poll’s intention is, though. It is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to imply that the economy is not improving under President Donald Trump — something categorically false, deceptive, and intentional on the part of the AP. If respondents assert they are voting for President Trump and that such an “economic downturn” is not a factor in their decision, the AP can manipulate those results to imply that Trump-supporters simply “don’t care” about a bad economy. Never mind the fact that no such economic downturn is occurring outside Democrat-run cities.)

In 1997, when I was 49 years old, to force me to take their early retirement “offer,” my Democrat GAO superiors made it clear that they would demote me constructively, if not literally. Reasons why I succumbed and took their early retirement “offer” include a) it would be 6 long years before I would be eligible for regular retirement, b) GAO was not unionized, c) none of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, or subordinates would have supported me, d) fighting it would have harmed my mental and physical health, e) I did not have enough support of Henry Hyde’s staff, and f) I could suffer the 59% loss of income because of my wife’s income, we had no dependents, we had no debts, we owned a home and cars, and we had retirement savings. However, my 59% loss of income for the rest of my life dramatically cut our standard of living. Further, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my being forced to take early retirement to viciously demonize me, to viciously denigrate me, and to viciously denigrate me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. Needless-to say, I should sue my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.)

— Blue wave drenches DuPage County, aiding Democratic transformation of one-time Republican stronghold. But will it last? – JOHN KEILMAN (DIERSEN: The Chicago Tribune has played a major role in the Democrat invasion of DuPage County. I should write a book about the Democrat invasion of DuPage County. I would focus on hypocritical hate-filled Republican-hating Republican-haters who have moved into DuPage County to hypocritically take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created there. I would focus on RINO leaders of Republican organizations in DuPage County who have dumped conservatives, that is, who have dumped Republicans, and pandered to moderates and to liberals, that is, who have pandered to Democrats. I have lived in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978 and in my precinct since 1984. I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I served as the chairman of the DuPage County based TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The electoral blue wave predicted by political scientists might have fizzled in much of the U.S., but on Tuesday it drenched a corner of the Chicago area that, not long ago, was practically untouched by Democrats. DuPage County, once known as one of the most solidly Republican areas in the country, appears to have given Democrats control of the County Board for the first time since the 1930s. Two more Democrats are leading their races for countywide office, and could be joined by another when the final votes are tallied. DuPage voters also backed Democrats in every federal race from president to U.S. representative, as well as every state senator and nine of 13 state representatives. It’s a stunning turn of fortune two decades in the making, observers say, the result of shifting demographics, shrewd campaigning and the divisive reign of President Donald Trump. “He doesn’t do well with suburban women and I think that hurts us,” said Jim Zay, a County Board member and chairman of DuPage County Republicans. “It’s time to rebrand and regroup and come back in two years.” Many of the county’s races ended on a paper-thin margin — nine were within a percentage point or two as of Friday afternoon — so it could be contested territory for years to come. But College of DuPage political science professor Melissa Mouritsen, who has written about the county’s transformation, said it’s following a path already traveled by other American suburbs. “DuPage is purple; it’s not fully Democratic yet,” she said. “But it’s at that tipping point.” A history in red  For more than a century DuPage County was as Republican as could be, home to GOP stalwarts such as U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde, who led the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, Pate Philip, president of the Illinois Senate for a decade, and two-time Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan. As recently as 2000, the election of a single Democrat to the County Board was cause for a wonder-struck story in the Tribune. But Mouritsen said the changes that would result in the county’s political realignment were already underway. One was demographic: The county went from 79% white in 2000 to 66% now, and median household income, expressed in 2018 dollars, dropped from $99,000 to $88,000. As the population diversified by race, income and political ideology — many newcomers hailed from the Democratic power center of Cook County, Mouritsen said — a growing number of people proved amenable to the Democrats. The redrawing of political districts after the 2010 census, a process controlled by House Speaker Michael Madigan, also helped to elevate Democrats to national and state offices, she said. County offices, however, remained thoroughly red. Liz Chaplin, who was first elected to the DuPage board with two other Democrats in 2012, was by 2016 the last of her party on the 18-member panel. “Sometimes I just felt like I was hitting my head against the wall,” she said. “It’s hard when you’re the only one.” Then came Donald Trump. He was the favorite among the county’s Republican primary voters in 2016, but the DuPage electorate as a whole rejected him, giving him only 39% of the vote in the general election, the lowest GOP share in decades. Two years into Trump’s tumultuous administration, the county’s moderate Republicans were open to hearing a new message, said Cynthia Borbas, chair of the DuPage Democrats. “Previously they were like, ‘Oh, Democrats? We don’t even want to talk to you,’” she said. “But because of Trump, more people are paying attention and they’re willing to have more conversations with us. And we’re connecting on the values and issues we care about.” Trickle to a flood In the 2018 election, DuPage voters elected Jean Kaczmarek as county clerk, making her the first Democrat to hold countywide office in 84 years. They also added six Democrats to the County Board. Jamie Wood, who moved to Lisle from Detroit two years ago, said he votes Democratic all the way down the ballot, even for candidates whose names and policy stances are unfamiliar. “My mindset right now is to just have as much of a blue wave as I possibly can just because of how much I’m fed up with the status quo,” he said. Wood, 33, who grew up in Elgin, is familiar with DuPage’s political history, but said young families like his are replacing older residents who were reliably Republican. These new families, he said, consider schools their top priority and aren’t as focused on traditional GOP concerns such as public safety. State’s Attorney Robert Berlin, who ran unopposed, emphasized law and order in a letter he sent in his role as Republican committeeman to Democratic households in his precinct. He wrote that county GOP officials from coroner to auditor “stand for one thing: the importance of public safety and adherence to the rule of law.” Two of those candidates, aspiring recorder Babette Holder Youngberg and incumbent Circuit Court Clerk Chris Kachiroubas, were trailing their Democratic opponents Friday afternoon with thousands of votes left to be counted. Auditor Bob Grogan led his Democratic rival by just 676 votes. But Berlin noted that a referendum asking whether the county should keep law enforcement as its top funding priority was approved by a 3-to-1 margin, suggesting the message was still potent. He said he didn’t know why Republicans stumbled in DuPage, but added that it happened in many other suburbs across the country. “We’re not unique in that regard,” he said. Purple future? Amy Chavez, a Naperville Democrat who won election to the County Board, said her constituents are chiefly concerned about COVID-19 — “When they think safe, they want to be safe from the virus” — and that the new Democratic majority will ensure the health department has what it needs to conduct testing and contact tracing. Paula Deacon Garcia, of Lisle, who was leading her race for a board seat Friday, said her issues are climate change, sustainability and public health, along with lowering the temperature at public meetings. “Since I’ve been attending, they’ve become quite partisan,” she said. “I’m looking for a bipartisan approach.” Republican board Chairman Dan Cronin could not be reached for comment. Zay was hopeful a return to form might not be far away for DuPage Republicans. The GOP needs to do a better job claiming credit for making DuPage an appealing place to live, he said, and must bring more women and young people into the fold. He noted that every seat on the County Board will be up for election in two years. Trump won’t be on that ballot, but another polarizing figure likely will: Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, whose shutdown orders during the pandemic have angered plenty of suburbanites. Borbas, meanwhile, said the county’s Democrats aren’t taking anything for granted. They fought Republicans for every vote in the 2020 election and are ready to do it again, she said. “I don’t think it’s a fluke, I don’t think it’s a one-off, I don’t think DuPage is blue,” she said. “But I think what it means is that we’re in the game now and we’re here to stay.”)

https://annuityguys.org/is-one-million-in-annuities-or-securities-enough-to-retire-on/?inf_contact_key=b216409e52035512b83e7ece2cc88759680f8914173f9191b1c0223e68310bb1
(FROM THE ARTICLE: $1 million is no longer enough to retire on You have to get rich these days just to finance a comfortable retirement. That’s the conclusion financial advisors are increasingly coming around to, as they gauge the direction of the economy in a strange new world of glacial growth and super-low interest rates. “Twenty years ago, someone with a million bucks would have said, ‘that’s great, I can draw down $100,000 a year, I’ll be just fine,’” Jim McCaughan, CEO of Principal Global Investors, tells me in the video above. “But now, with very low rates, the problem of funding a retirement is much more difficult.” Retirees don’t need to be told that low rates have cut sharply into the returns on fixed-income investments. But they may need to rethink how to prepare for what might happen in the future. Many investors are waiting for interest rates to go back up, once the Federal Reserve starts hiking short-term rates later this year or early next year. Meanwhile, the Fed is gradually winding down its vast “quantitative easing” program, which deliberately forced down long-term rates. So as that pressure eases, rates ought to go back up. Right? Maybe not. McCaughan argues that we’ll be in a low-rate environment for much longer than many people expect, for a couple of basic reasons. First, an aging population means the demand for low-risk bonds will rise, pushing up prices but pulling down yields. Second, there’s been a growing gap between global demand and global production capacity, which will keep a lid on prices of most things for the foreseeable future. Low inflation usually coincides with low-interest rates. There’s nothing magical (or scientific) about $1 million as a goal for retirement savings. As a round benchmark, however, it’s been in the ballpark for a couple hoping to retire comfortably. A $1 million principal will generate $60,000 per year in income if the portfolio’s return is 6%, and $40,000 per year at 4%. The amount you need to live on, of course, depends on many factors, including the cost of living where you reside, healthcare expenses, how much you travel and how long you live. But if rates remain in the low range they’re in now—with 10-year Treasury rates well below 3%, say—it will change the math of retirement planning. During most of the baby boomers’ working lives, it was reasonable to expect annual returns of 6% to 10% on a retirement portfolio, without taking much risk. Add Social Security and other pension payments, and a $1 million nest egg was more than adequate for most people.)

DAILY HERALD
— ‘A very stressful situation’: Why election night results were delayed in DuPage, Lake counties – Lauren Rohr (DIERSEN: According to a report, the DuPage County Election Division is processing 24,000 vote-by-mail ballots (VBM) that came in Friday-Monday that the signatures were verified on and those will be posted soon. There are 2,547 provisional ballots and 23,000 VBM ballots that have not been returned yet.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20201104/a-very-stressful-situation-why-election-night-results-were-delayed-in-dupage-lake-counties-
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The DuPage County clerk’s office had posted some early and vote-by-mail counts, but none from its 930 precincts, before a 45-minute glitch snarled the transfer of data from the tabulation system to the website, Chief Deputy County Clerk Adam Johnson said. Tallies weren’t updated again until well after 10 p.m., and vote totals from all precincts weren’t posted until 1 a.m. . .A slew of tight races in DuPage, paired with the national attention placed on vote-counting processes, resulted in a “very stressful situation,” made worse when the data export tool froze, Johnson said. Election judges continued tabulating votes while the technical problems were being addressed, he said. Election authorities anticipated processing a high volume of ballots, Johnson said, and aside from the glitch, everything went according to plan. Additional vote-by-mail ballots were being processed Wednesday, with more expected to roll in over the next two weeks, he said, and the clerk’s office communicated frequently with party leaders on both sides. But DuPage County Republican Party Chairman Jim Zay called the delay “unacceptable,” saying the state’s second-largest county should be better equipped to handle the election night rush. “We’ve had too many elections that we’ve had these issues,” he said. “It has to be fixed.” Johnson acknowledged the county’s systems are slow and outdated, adding to what is already a high-pressure situation for candidates, voters and election officials. “We’re being as transparent as possible,” he said. “We have a constant inflow of ballots … and we just had a lot of data to update over the course of the evening.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Officials: Vote-by-mail volumes could ‘significantly’ change results over next 2 weeks – Lauren Rohr
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20201103/officials-vote-by-mail-volumes-could-significantly-change-results-over-next-2-weeks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Though it’s uncertain how many of those outstanding ballots will actually be cast, Elections Board officials say many will likely roll in over the next two weeks, potentially flipping the outcome of some tight races. Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by Nov. 17 to be counted in final tallies. Election officials reported 177,118 outstanding mail-in ballots in suburban Cook County, 50,504 in DuPage, 10,917 in Kane, 59,118 in Lake, 18,306 in McHenry and 22,229 in Will. Those numbers represent 10.8% of total registered voters in suburban Cook County, 7.9% in DuPage, 3.4% in Kane, 12.1% in Lake, 7.8% in McHenry and 4.8% in Will.)

— FROM THE ARTICLE: This afternoon at a polling place in Wheaton, Sean Casten doubled down on his total disdain for anyone who disagrees with him. In a conversation with voters, Casten states, “If I win by less than ten, that says that 45% of the district is racist homophobes.” Listen to the audio here. Ives campaign spokeswoman, Kathleen Murphy: “Sean Casten doesn’t care to understand your disagreements with him. He just thinks you are a low-life if you don’t think like he does. “This isn’t how we come back together. It isn’t who the Sixth District is. But it is who Sean Casten is. And we are confident that voters are rejecting his toxic, divisive candidacy as we speak.”

— The high cost of systemic racism in the U.S. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the many millions of dollars that my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted on me so that they could give preference to my coworkers and to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. They wasted what I learned a) working for GAO 1980-1997, b) working for IRS 1971-1980, c) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, f) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, g) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and h) earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. In 1971, I would have become an Oldsmobile employee if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer because of EEOC. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

They blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000.

— Illinois is nearing its contact tracing hiring goal. Is it too late? – HAL DARDICK (DIERSEN: From what I see, those who are the following are negatively stereotyped as being potentially infectious COVID-19 spreaders: older, overweight, and/or have health problems, including diabetes. Therefore, because of that, one would anticipate that a) employers will get rid of their employees who are the aforesaid and b) organizations will get rid of their members who are the aforesaid.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-coronavirus-illinois-contact-tracing-slow-start-20201102-rrbutujsbfhytb454vvu2yddhu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As Illinois finally nears its goal of employing 3,800 people to track down and warn the contacts of people infected with COVID-19, experts say that number may no longer be sufficient to help control the virus. That’s because contact tracing — which aims to reduce disease spread by identifying and isolating people who could be infectious — works best when infection rates are relatively low. The state is seeing record numbers of daily confirmed cases.)

— How seniors and their money would fare under a Trump or Biden presidency – Lorie Konish (DIERSEN: Interest rates are far lower than inflation. Democrats and RINOs use age discrimination to get rid of Republicans, and especially to get rid of Republicans who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, overweight and/or have other health problems, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/01/trump-vs-biden-what-the-election-could-mean-for-seniors-wallets.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden’s platform calls for strengthening age discrimination laws, Johnson noted, which could help seniors who want to continue working. A 2009 Supreme Court decision made it so that workers had to prove age was the only factor that led to a job loss, a higher bar to prove age discrimination in the workplace. Democrats in Congress have been trying to address that concern for the past decade, and Biden has said he supports those efforts, Johnson noted.)

My Democrat GAO superiors did everything that they could to turn those who I supervised against me. They stressed to those who I supervised that I was healthy, White, male, draft avoider, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, non-poor, married, Republican, conservative, Wheaton resident, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, I had three job-related master’s degrees, I had six job-related professional certifications, and I had a job-related professional license.)

They demonized, denigrated, and condemned me because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents.)

ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH
— Protesters call on Edwardsville to remove statue of town’s namesake – Joel Currier (DIERSEN: Crete is my hometown. I lived there 1948-1972. My ancestors on my father’s side have lived there since 1854. My brother continues to live there in a house that my grandfather had built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864.)

(FROM ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHICAGO: Crete, Will County, 30 miles S of the Loop. Located just south of Cook County, Crete grew alongside the wagon road known as Vincennes or Hubbard’s Trail, later the route of the Dixie Highway and Illinois Route 1. Among the first landowners were the family of Willard and Diantha Wood, who arrived in 1836. By the mid-1840s a small market center had developed in the community known as Wood’s Corners. In 1843, Wood served as the first postmaster and selected the name Crete from the New Testament writings of St. Paul. Wood platted the village in 1849, served in elected positions, donated land for churches, and built a frequently used hotel. Immigrant Germans arrived in the 1840s and 1850s. Into the twentieth century, German could be heard as often as English in Crete. Due mainly to families associated with the Congregational Church, Crete was a key stopping point on the Underground Railroad, and strong abolitionist sentiment led to a large enlistment for the Civil War. Initial businesses related to farming, with a woodworking plant established in 1869. Also in 1869, the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad came through Crete, connecting to markets in Chicago.
