https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/how-waves-of-immigrants-are-overwhelming-asylum-process
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and 2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said. Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski says.)

COLUMBUS DISPATCH
— Targeted ads have Facebook in trouble with HUD – AP (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the more that employers do NOT target you in their ads: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190329/targeted-ads-have-facebook-in-trouble-with-hud
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government charged Facebook with high-tech housing discrimination Thursday for allegedly allowing landlords and real estate brokers to systematically exclude groups such as non-Christians, immigrants and minorities from seeing ads for houses and apartments. . .Just last week, Facebook agreed to overhaul its targeting system and abandon some of the practices singled out by HUD to prevent discrimination, not just in housing listings but in credit and employment ads as well. The move was part of a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union and other activists.)

My outstanding parents could not clear many obstacles for me. Neither of them attended college. My father died suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 47, and it was a bottom-of-the-line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

PHYS
— Why pay transparency alone won’t eliminate the persistent wage gap between men and women – Nancy Modesitt (DIERSEN: If I had been a woman, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. 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.)
https://phys.org/news/2019-03-transparency-wont-persistent-wage-gap.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent, when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent to 18 percent among all employers.)

One reason why I left IRS for GAO in 1980 was that officially, GAO encouraged professional growth far more than IRS. My Democrat IRS superiors dismissed, if not belittled, the fact that I had a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. While I worked for GAO, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Illinois Democrats Offer Relief From Deduction Cap, But Not Repeal Lawmakers who won GOP-held seats want to increase $10,000 cap on state and local tax deduction – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/illinois-democrats-offer-relief-from-deduction-cap-but-not-repeal-11553805167
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans imposed the $10,000 cap as part of the 2017 tax law, which also cut tax rates, doubled the child tax credit and sharply narrowed the alternative minimum tax. Most taxpayers, even in high-tax states, received tax cuts, but the cap still proved unpopular with suburban voters. That provision contributed to GOP election losses in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey, California and Illinois, where Mr. Casten defeated Rep. Peter Roskam, a chief author of the tax law.)

— Fourteen Questions About Your Assignment – Tim Hetzner
http://devotions.lccharities.org/2019/03/27/fourteen-questions-about-your-assignment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you know what your God-given assignment in life is, and that God is on your side, you become virtually unstoppable. Will you make mistakes? Of course, but God loves you enough to correct you, redirect you, and get you back on track. ‘How do I go about discovering my assignment?’ you ask. Here are fourteen helpful questions to ask yourself: 1) What desires have been living in me most of my life? 2) What motivates me to work hard and be productive? 3) What keeps me going forward when I’m worn out? 4) What makes me refuse to quit when I meet with resistance? 5) What do I do that doesn’t seem like work? 6) What do I do that brings a positive response and support from people? 7) What am I doing or what’s happening in my life when doors seem to open automatically and effortlessly? 8) What do wise leaders and godly counsellors think about my work? 9) What makes me feel good about being who I am? 10) What makes my creative juices flow? 11) What am I willing to sacrifice in order to accomplish it? 12) What am I doing that I’d be proud to offer for God’s approval? 13) What would I do without being paid for it if I could afford to? 14) What would I be willing to withstand Satan on in order to accomplish? Prayerfully consider these fourteen questions, and they will shed light on your God-given assignment in life.)

Needless-to-say, all governments, organizations, companies, etc. that keep hate lists should be forced to a) disclose that they keep a hate list, b) disclose those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, etc. that they have put on their list and why, and c) disclose what they have done to destroy those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, etc. that they have put on their hate list. From what I see, conservative-haters a) have me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails on their hate lists and b) had TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois on their hate lists.)

ROLL CALL
— Capitol Hill workplace watchdog issues repeat recommendations to Congress New OCWR report urges Hill to join the rest of the country – Katherine Tully-McManus (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. Therefore, in actuality, federal employees do NOT have the right to oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of First and Second Amendment rights, patronage, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, or retaliation.) 
https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/capitol-hill-workplace-watchdog-issues-repeat-recommendations-congress
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last year’s overhaul of the workplace complaint reporting and resolution system on Capitol Hill addressed many recommendations from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights. But the watchdog group is not done yet. Its latest report sent to House and Senate leaders earlier this month suggests further changes to apply federal workplace standards to the legislative branch. Congress hasn’t always chosen to apply to itself the same laws that the rest of the country must follow. When it comes to Hill employee rights, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 sets guidelines for the House, Senate and several related agencies. It was originally passed to help ensure that Hill staffers enjoy at least some of the same workplace and employment protections as private- and most public-sector employees.)

https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-19-176
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fewer individual and corporate tax returns have been audited in recent years, largely because IRS doesn’t have the people it needs to enforce existing tax laws while implementing new laws. As a result, billions of dollars in taxes go unpaid every year. Enforcing tax laws, a High Risk area, is critical to promoting voluntary compliance and collecting unpaid taxes. IRS’s workforce is the key to addressing its challenges. Cultivating a well-equipped and engaged workforce requires strategic human capital management that will help IRS focus its current and future hiring needs. We made 6 recommendations to improve IRS’s human capital management.)
