— The surprisingly high number of Americans getting absolutely no raises – Evan Horowitz (DIERSEN: Have you gotten pay raises? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want cheap labor. They continue to be furious that because of COLAs, step increases, and/or promotions, my pay increased every year that I worked for the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, except for 1980 when I took a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me in 1986. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: It seems everything is measured in the amount of wealth one has. In the latest gubernatorial race in Illinois, how many times did we hear Bruce Rauner had $500 million at his command, and J.B. Pritzker was worth three times that? (And it would appear Rauner still couldn’t afford a tie at times.) The ads were without end, costing each candidate millions of dollars. An average person seeking such office could not ever compete. So, wealth is the answer. Sad.)

— Wheaton College students claim black pro-lifer’s talk made people of color feel ‘unsafe’ – Dorothy Cummings McLean
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/christian-college-students-claim-black-pro-lifers-talk-made-people-of-color
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three student officials at a Christian college have alleged that an African-American speaker made other people of color feel “unheard, underrepresented, and unsafe” with his pro-life talk. Ryan Bomberger of the Radiance Foundation gave a presentation entitled “Black Lives Matter In and Out of the Womb” at the evangelical Wheaton College on November 14. He was the guest of the Wheaton College Republicans. Bomberger’s talk touched on the “hypocrisy” of the BLM leadership in announcing its solidarity with Planned Parenthood, the “leading killer of black lives.” In response to Bomberger’s interactive talk, Lauren Rowley, Wheaton’s student body president, Tyler Waaler, the student body vice-president, and Sammy Shields, the “EVP” of the college’s Community Diversity, signed an email directed to the entire college claiming that Bomberger’s talk distressed “many” people of color. “As many of you know, a special interest club hosted an event on Wednesday night titled, ‘Black Lives Matter: In and Outside the Womb.’ The speaker of this event, Ryan Bomberger, made several comments at the event that deeply troubled members of our community. His comments, surrounding the topic of race, made many students, staff, and faculty of color feel unheard, underrepresented, and unsafe on our campus,” they wrote. Without supplying any examples, Rowley, Waaler, and Shields called Bomberger’s opinions “offensive rhetoric” and suggested that they “compromised” the college’s mission. “As Student Government, we are committed to the College’s mission to promoting student programming that ‘pursues unity, embraces ethnic diversity, and practices racial reconciliation so that it will contribute to the education of whole persons,’ and therefore, felt it necessary to respond to the offensive rhetoric from the speaker at this event that compromised this mission,” they stated. Bomberger, who is a biracial African American conceived in rape and then raised in a mixed-race family, responded indignantly to the allegations, saying that Rowley, Waaler, and Shields had demonized him. He said also that many students had told him that out of the three, only Shields had attended his talk. “I would think it would be against the college’s mission to intentionally mislead students,” Bomberger wrote in response to the student leaders’ backlash against him. He noted that the student leaders had not provided any evidence for what they allege. “As typical with ‘progressivism’ one only needs to make the claim of offense without allowing people to examine the alleged ‘offense.’ The Dean of Student Engagement, Steve Ivester…praised me for the way in which I approached such heavy issues. But it seems that only some people’s opinions matter,” Bomberger wrote.)

 

NEW YORK TIMES
— NOVEMBER 22, 1991 FLASHBACK: Reaffirming Commitment, Bush Signs Rights Bill – ANDREW ROSENTHAL (DIERSEN: Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors took this as a directive to get rid of once and for all their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
https://www.nytimes.com/1991/11/22/us/reaffirming-commitment-bush-signs-rights-bill.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Bush today signed the 1991 Civil Rights Act, hoping to end a bruising two-year fight over job discrimination, but instead found himself embroiled in a political furor over an effort within the Administration to put a conservative interpretation on the new law. Facing protests from civil rights leaders, lawmakers from both parties and members of his Cabinet, Mr. Bush this morning moved to end the uproar caused when the White House Counsel, C. Boyden Gray, circulated a draft of a directive Wednesday night that would have ended the use of racial preferences and quotas in Federal Government hiring. That draft gave rise to reports that the President would order all Federal agencies today to phase out the use of racial preferences and quotas in hiring to underscore his opposition to affirmative action. Some political opponents and those who have voiced doubt about his commitment to civil rights suggested that Mr. Bush was trying to undo by executive action what he could not achieve in his fight with Congress over the wording in the Civil Rights Act. Disputes Flare Anew Moving quickly to try to dispel that impression, Mr. Bush this morning had his press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, say that Mr. Gray had acted without his knowledge, and the White House called civil rights leaders who had been invited to the signing ceremony to assure them that the affirmative action regulations dating from 1965 were not being wiped out. Still, some of his critics raised doubts about whether Mr. Bush really intended to abandon Mr. Gray’s effort. And late in the day, controversy erupted again over another aspect of the formal signing statement that was made public after Mr. Bush signed the bill at a ceremony in the Rose Garden. Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike criticized a passage in the statement in which Mr. Bush endorsed a hotly debated interpretation of certain provisions of the new anti-discrimination law that gives employers the broadest discretion in citing “business necessity” to defend policies that exclude blacks, women and other minority groups from hiring. In his speech, which amounted to a highly unusual repudiation of a close aide and followed a chaotic overnight review of the proposed changes in Federal hiring practices, the President cast aside Mr. Gray’s language on affirmative action.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Peter Finch argues that your total expenses in retirement will decline as you get older because you will spend less on immediate pleasures and other discretionary items. That will not be true for me. Since 1997, when I was 49 years old, when my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer,” I have spent far less on immediate pleasures and on other discretional items. My retirement income is only 43% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars. While you can cut/eliminate spending on immediate pleasures and on other discretionary items like I have done big time, you will still face ever-increasing non-discretionary expenses including taxes, medical, food, and housing.)

While I served as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, Milton Township Republican Central Committee(MTRCC) webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004, I was always on the lists of the following to get rid of me: those who a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the MTRCC resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid. Since my becoming a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999 and the GOPUSA Illinois Editor in 2000, I have always been on the lists of the aforesaid to get rid of me.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181129/tollway-reform-rollout-takes-back-seat-to-political-firing-brouhaha
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Controversy erupted at the Illinois tollway Thursday as Executive Director Liz Gorman pushed back against allegations of politically motivated “firings” and said one administrator’s exit was a cause of celebration. The blowup coincided with the agency’s rollout of new ethics procedures prepared in response to concerns about potential favoritism regarding contracts and hiring. “The tollway is a well-run, transparent organization, but we can always look for better ways and better practices,” Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. However, Director Joseph Gomez criticized the ethics report for failing to address “what might be considered political firings.” Gomez said high-ranking managers in communications and human resources were terminated this year and told “the toll road was headed in a different direction.” “I don’t find that a good reason to fire senior members of the toll road staff,” Gomez said. “What was the ‘new direction’ at the tollway?” Gorman told Gomez, “If you’re inferring that I’m a woman and can’t handle it, I don’t appreciate it and that’s not the case.” “I don’t believe in firing people. They fire themselves,” she said. And when one department head left this spring, “I believe the building was in (unison) in singing, ‘Ding, dong, the witch is dead,'” Gorman said. At that point, Senior Assistant Attorney General Robert Lane admonished Gorman and board members that personnel discussions should occur in executive session. “I am so sorry you would think that anybody is disparaging you because of being a female,” Gomez told Gorman. “There are no political firings,” Schillerstrom clarified, adding personnel issues are handled by tollway executives, not board members.)

BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT
— OUTSTANDING: Activist voices opposition to legal Illinois marijuana sales – AP
https://www.bnd.com/news/state/illinois/article222349210.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An opponent to legal marijuana in Illinois says it will allow white corporate exploitation of minority customers. Chicago activist the Rev. Gregory Seal Livingston on Wednesday called the effort to take over a lucrative illegal market “a gangsta move worthy of Al Capone.” He added “profit is the motive,” in legalizing the drug. Illinois has already decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Livingston was joined in voicing opposition to legal marijuana sales by members of Healthy and Productive Illinois. That is a group that opposes legalization and is supported by Smart Approaches to Marijuana, a national anti-cannabis organization. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation this summer that expands medical marijuana use to people prescribed opioids. The move increased the number of medical marijuana users by more than 46,000 patients. Democrat governor-elect J.B. Pritzker has said he hopes to legalize cannabis soon after he takes office.)

COOK COUNTY RECORD
— Federal appeals judges: ‘Politics in politics’ did not violate rights of GOP state senator Sam McCann who challenged Rauner – Scott Holland (DIERSEN: Politics is politics. To demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me, my critics/opponents stress that those who dominate the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) a) have never asked me to serve as a chairman of a MTRCC committee, b) rudely fired me as MTRCC’s webmaster in 2010 and 2004, c) crushed me when I ran for the open MTRCC Treasurer position in 2004, and d) fail/refuse to promote my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and my fundraising for Republican sponsorship of Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades. They further stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, etc. They stress that virtually all MTRCC members side with them against me. Those who dominate the MTRCC a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the MTRCC resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid. I should write a book about past and present MTRCC members who have worked much harder against me than they have ever worked against any Democrat.)

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE
— ILLINOIS PASSES STATE LAW GIVING PENSION BOOST TO ONE CHICAGO ALDERMAN – Vincent Caruso (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that when I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, I brought with me almost 12 years of Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credit – almost 9 years that worked for IRS 1971-1980 and almost 3 years that I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969. They were beyond furious that while I worked for the Post Office part-time, I earned full-time CSRS credit. The aforesaid made me eligible for GAO’s $25,000 buyout and early retirement offer in 1993 when I was 45 years old. Overwhelmingly, those who GAO hires have no job-related work experience, let alone experience working for other federal agencies. GAO audits IRS and the Post Office.)
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-passes-state-law-giving-pension-boost-to-one-chicago-alderman/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: State lawmakers overrode Gov. Rauner’s veto of a bill that allows one former firefighter serving as a Chicago alderman to credit his political salary toward a more lucrative fire pension. The pension boost will also apply to future aldermen with a history of fire department work.)

— OUTRAGEOUS: GOP’s H-2B Expansion Gives Business Unlimited Supply of Foreign Workers – John Binder (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, employers make it clear that they want cheap labor, that is, that they want foreign labor.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/28/gops-h-2b-expansion-gives-business-unlimited-supply-of-foreign-workers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican lawmakers are looking to slip the more than doubling of the H-2B visa program into a last-second spending bill that is expected to be passed before the new year. In total, there are roughly 1.5 million foreign workers in U.S. college-graduate jobs, plus at least 300,000 blue-collar or manual labor jobs. Meanwhile, there are five million Americans who are not in the labor force who want a job with more than 500,000 Americans saying they are discouraged by their job prospects. Every year, America’s working and middle class have their wages reduced by an inflow of more than 1.5 million mostly low-skilled foreign workers who are admitted to the country. This importation of illegal and legal foreign workers has left the country’s bottom line of workers with stagnant wages since the 1970s and forces them to compete with foreign workers for blue-collar jobs.)

Next year, my RMD will help offset that. Why is your retirement income lower or will it be lower? For me, it is the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had in wasting my career and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Every year, as the purchasing power of my CSRS, SS, and RMD drops, the more angry that I am a) against my Democrat superiors and b) against those who side with my Democrat superiors.)

— 2019 Corvette ZR1: The Last, and Best, of Its Kind Chevy’s Corvette is being redesigned next year with a mid-engine configuration to keep up with its competition. That’s a pity, says Dan Neil. because this year’s front-engine ZR1 is the most dynamic ’Vette yet – Dan Neil (DIERSEN: I own a 1972. Per Wikipedia “1972 was the last year for chrome bumpers at both front and rear, the vacuum actuated pop-up windshield wiper door, as well as the removable rear window common to all 1968-72 coupes. The key activated anti-theft alarm system became standard. The increasingly popular choice of an automatic transmission was installed in most Corvettes for the first time, with nearly 54 percent so equipped. This year SAE net measurement for horsepower was now utilized (away from the previous SAE gross standard), and was largely responsible for the much lower engine output figures such as the 200 hp (149 kW) rating on the standard 350 cu in (5.7 L) motor.”)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/2019-corvette-zr1-the-last-and-best-of-its-kind-1543428205
(FROM THE ARTICLE: MY BROTHER-IN-LAW recently acquired his dad’s well-preserved 1982 Chevrolet Corvette, which he drove to Thanksgiving dinner. It being a holiday, we even let him park it in the driveway. The ’82 Corvette—the last of the third-generation (C3) design—is perhaps the least-loved model-year of all, due to the fact that these wildly fast-looking cars were so shockingly slow and underpowered. Trapped inside that wasp-waisted fiberglass bod is a 5.7-liter V8 wheezing out a mere 200 hp due to its crude emissions-control plumbing. The 1982 Corvette is that zoologically unlikely thing, a sexy slug.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first Indian-American to serve in the state Senate, Yadav “Nick” Nathwani, was sworn in Tuesday to fill the remaining term of former Republican state Sen.

Nathwani, a 35-year-old Milton Township trustee, will represent the 24th District until Jan. 9, when Democrat Suzie Glowiak, who defeated Nybo on Nov. 6, will be sworn in. . .Nybo quietly resigned on Nov. 15 in an email to DuPage County Republican Chairman Brian Krajewski and Senate Republican Leader Bill Brady. In his email, Nybo suggested a member of his staff fill the seat. “As we discussed, I am resigning from the Illinois State Senate. I believe that my district director, Laura Fitzpatrick, could more than capably serve the remainder of my term and assist with winding down our office operations,” Nybo wrote. “I appreciate that you also share that belief, and that you have agreed to support her appointment to serve the remainder of my term.” Both Nybo and Fitzpatrick declined to comment Tuesday on Nathwani’s appointment and the apparent change in plans. “Yadav will be a great state Senator for the 24th District during the upcoming veto session,” Krajewski said in a written statement Tuesday. “As a Milton Township trustee, Yadav knows the difficult issues facing West suburban residents.”)

REAL CLEAR POLITICS
— The Perfidy of Illinois’ Public Payrolls – Steve Cortes (DIERSEN: I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969.)
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/11/26/the_perfidy_of_illinois_public_payrolls_138742.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I grew up in Park Forest, Ill., a working-class suburb of Chicago. In my youth, Park Forest was pleasantly middle-class — a solid community of well-kept lawns, strong churches, and active sports. Unfortunately for my hometown, times have been tough over the years, reflected by a jobless rate about twice the national one and a poverty rate 43 percent higher than the state of Illinois average. As a consequence, Park Forest has lost almost a third of its peak population of 30,000 since the 1970s. But like many such struggling communities, one class of people has found a way to prosper: public employees. Recently, Fox affiliate Channel 32 and Open the Books detailed the exorbitant pay package for part-time interim school Superintendent Joyce Carmine. She retired in 2017 making $398,000 annually, the highest-paid superintendent in Illinois, in a community where the median household income is $44,000. She will receive, courtesy of taxpayers, a pension of just under $300,000 for the rest of her life. Adding insult to injury, the school district hired this retiree back as a consultant at the rate of $1,200 per day for a total of 100 days, bringing her pay this year to $419,000 total for part-time work. Given the modest $75,000 median home price in Park Forest, her salary equates to 5.5 home purchases…per year.)

https://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/finding_common_ground/2018/11/why_are_we_so_uninformed_we_dont_read_what_we_share.html

In fact, this Forbes Magazine article cites research that shows that 59% of us share articles we never read. . .The reality seems to be that people don’t read the articles they share because they care less about the content of the article and more about what sharing the article does for them.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage County will have at least three contested mayoral races – Robert Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181126/dupage-county-will-have-at-least-three-contested-mayoral-races
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton Voters in Wheaton will choose between two contenders vying to succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who is stepping down after three terms. City Councilman Phil Suess officially entered the mayoral race on the last day of candidate filing, though he confirmed his campaign months ago. His council colleague and opponent in the mayoral race, John Prendiville, turned in his nominating petitions when the filing period opened a week ago. Three candidates — incumbent Suzanne Fitch and newcomers Ron Almiron and Erica Bray-Parker — will square off for two available at-large council seats. Nominating papers were filed last Monday on behalf of Fitch and Almiron, an attorney who finished out of contention in a crowded GOP primary last spring for two District 4 seats on the county board. Erica Bray-Parker also filed last Monday for an at-large council seat. Bray-Parker has been a civics teacher at Glenbard North High School for 25 years and lived in Wheaton for more than two decades. Four council members represent the city’s four voting districts, while two members and the mayor are elected at-large. Suess, a partner in an investment consulting firm, ran unopposed last year to retain his seat representing the North District. His fourth term on the council doesn’t expire until 2021. Prendiville served on the council from 2007 to 2011 and again since 2013 after an unsuccessful run to unseat Gresk as mayor. He is the managing director and senior managing counsel for The Bank of New York Mellon Corp., a firm that acts as a trustee for municipal bond issues.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago’s collar counties no longer GOP turf The final election totals underline that Democratic wins weren’t just at the top of the ticket, but for key county-level jobs, too. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/chicagos-collar-counties-no-longer-gop-turf
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Political insiders are divided over how much of this has to do with a drag on the ticket from the locally unpopular President Donald Trump and Gov. Bruce Rauner, with the latter losing to Democrat J.B. Pritzker in all but McHenry County. But when even long-time entrenched GOP incumbents like DuPage County Board President Dan Cronin barely survive, something is different. In DuPage, which for decades was the center of GOP statewide politics, Cronin got just 51.02 percent of the vote against his Democratic foe, according to unofficial but complete totals compiled by the county’s election commission. Democrats took the county clerk’s spot and apparently will have seven seats on the county board, up from just one now. All of that comes on top of Democratic U.S. Reps. Dan Lipinski, Mike Quigley, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Bill Foster, and Reps.-elect Sean Casten and Lauren Underwood, each leading the ballot in that portion of their districts located in DuPage.)

https://japantoday.com/category/politics/japan-to-pave-way-for-raising-working-age-limit-to-70
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Japanese government wants to raise the working age limit to 70 from the current 65 as part of efforts to promote economic growth in the fast-graying country, according to a draft plan compiled by a government panel. The draft midterm report by the committee responsible for coming up with the government’s growth strategy also calls for making big firms disclose the ratio of different age groups among employees, a move aimed at promoting mid-career employment among companies, which tend to heavily recruit people freshly out of school.)

None of the aforesaid employees joined the agency-wide class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation like I did. Instead, they “cut deals” with GAO to keep their jobs. Those deals included a) forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) giving me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promoting me beyond GS-13, e) getting rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keeping me off audits of IRS, and g) forcing me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
