Smith  (DIERSEN: Constructively, the Democrats who run GAO have had me on reduced (42%) administrative leave since 1997.  My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $50,720, or 42% of the GS-13 Step 10 salary (currently $120,427) that GAO paid me in 1997.)
http://www.fedsmith.com/2016/12/26/congress-curbs-misuse-of-administrative-leave/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Senator also noted that this figure might be too low because of imprecise calculations provided by some agencies. His report also noted that tens of thousands of federal employees were on paid leave for at least one month. Several hundred employees were on paid leave for nine months to three years over a three-year period. Senator Grassley succinctly stated his opinion this way: “Paid leave shouldn’t be a crutch for management to avoid making tough personnel decisions or a club for wrongdoers to use against whistleblowers.” The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has also concluded that about $775 million was spent on more than 57,000 employees on paid administrative leave for more than a month.)

DAILY HERALD
— Democrats seek to unseat Bolingbrook mayor Roger Claar who hosted Trump fundraiser – Kerry Lester
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161208/news/161209017/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Three-term Will County board member Jackie Traynere was part of a group protesting at the fundraiser at the Bolingbrook Golf Club and said that got the ball rolling for her to file nominating petitions to run in the April 4 election. “The group continued to meet, and they said, you know, it’s time. Somebody needs to run,” Traynere said. “I thought about it, and remembered my father always taught me, ‘Don’t point your finger at someone because then there are three of them pointing back at you.’ Sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.” Traynere’s been a Bolingbrook resident since 1970, works as a union organizer and owns a cleaning business with her husband. Claar, who’s making plans to attend Trump’s inauguration Jan. 20, says his 20 years as mayor show he has the backing of the local electorate. He also points out that municipal elections are nonpartisan. “There’s no such thing as a Republican pothole or Democratic pothole,” he says. “These are local issues, not national or international or even state (issues).” Helping out  Democrats offering to help Traynere include members of U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin’s campaign, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster’s office and the Will County Democrats. They point to election results showing more than 60 percent of Bolingbrook residents voted for Clinton in the November election. But it’s likely Claar also is picking up more help. “I believe there’s a good support base for me out there,” he says.)

— Richard Spencer is a threat Republicans must purge – THOMAS MCARDLE
http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/campaign/309227-richard-spencers-white-nationalists-are-a-threat-republicans-must
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But race is not why immigration – both legal and illegal — must be significantly reduced over the long term. A 44-page January 2014 report authored by the late Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum, “How Mass (Legal) Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican Party,” laid out what’s really at stake. “Immigrants and their children are more supportive of government expansion, Obamacare, affirmative action, gun control, greater environmental regulation, and of other issues championed by the Left,” Schlafly warned, buttressing the case with mounds of polling data. It’s not the color of their skin, but rather the content of their political creed.  Today, even the white Europeans Spencer romanticizes would, as new U.S. citizens, help their Mexican-American fellow immigrants elect liberal Democrats and impose lots more socialism on the Land of the Free. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1965 immigration act, a grinning Bobby and Teddy Kennedy at his side in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, he assured the nation it was “not a revolutionary bill.  It does not affect the lives of millions.”  Yet in the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s combined, fewer than 7 million immigrants came to America; after the immigration act, from the ‘70s to today, 35 million arrived here, including nearly 14 million in the single decade from 2001 to 2010. Not only was it a revolution, it’s been the biggest voter recruitment drive for the Democratic Party in history. If Trump is to lead a successful counter-revolution and stop this ongoing disaster, he cannot be tainted by those falsely hailing him as an ethnic cleanser. Decades ago, William F. Buckley purged the Birchers and other genuine “deplorables” within conservatism so the right could rise to power. Trump, or his surrogates, are similarly going to have to purge Spencer and his minions – and do it before the TV cameras – if the new president is to keep his promise to regain control of who comes to and shapes America.)

http://www.aol.com/article/news/2016/12/01/mike-pences-new-neighbors-are-making-a-not-so-subtle-statement/21618571/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mike Pence will be moving into the Naval Observatory in Northwest DC in a few months, but until then he’s renting. CNN reported that his new home in one of the capital’s upscale suburbs is costing the future vice president $6,000-a-month. And like the Hamilton cast, some of Pence’s new neighbors have strong feelings about the positions that the former Indiana governor has held in relation to the LGBT community. According to WJLA, more than half a dozen rainbow flags have appeared on the doorsteps and front lawns of homes in Pence’s new neighborhood. One of his neighbors said that she considers the flags “a respectful message showing, in my case, my disagreement with some of his thinking.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Roskam flip-flops on Trump; now undecided – Robert Sanchez  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps make it clear that they will get rid of you if you vote for Trump.)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161011/news/161019760/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just hours after saying U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam was planning to vote for Donald Trump, spokesman David Pasch on Tuesday rescinded the remark. Instead, Pasch released a written statement saying Roskam is undecided on how he will vote Nov. 8. “Hillary Clinton has already disqualified herself by her actions and deeds,” Pasch wrote in an email Tuesday afternoon. “Donald Trump has 28 days left to convince him (Roskam) that he’s the right person to fix our broken tax code, bring accountability to the federal government, and restore American leadership to the world stage.” The statement is very different from what Pasch wrote in a Tuesday morning email. “I can confirm he is still planning to vote for Donald Trump,” the earlier email said. The confusion comes as other GOP leaders are distancing themselves from Trump after a video surfaced last week of a 2005 conversation in which the reality TV star talked about trying to have sex with a married woman and being able to grope women. Roskam, a Wheaton Republican, on Monday called Trump’s comments and the attitude they reflect “disgusting and corrosive.”  Last week — days before the scandal broke — Roskam said the election is a “binary choice” and he was planning to vote for Trump. He said he views Trump as a “wild card” who he was “choosing to vote for … over the unworthy candidate.” Roskam said Trump has made comments during the campaign that he doesn’t agree with. He also said he won’t defend “every wild statement” Trump makes.)

http://thehill.com/opinion/mark-mellman/299299-mellman-changing-patterns
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Much has been written about the increasing proportion of the electorate that is made up of minorities: African-Americans, Latinos, Asians and others. While Republicans’ grassroots hostility to diversity makes life very difficult for the GOP at the presidential level, important and under-discussed transformations have impacted white voters as well. The share of noncollege-educated whites has been cut in half since 1980. When Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter, nearly two-thirds of the electorate was made up of noncollege-educated whites. By 2012, that number had shrunk to just 37 percent. Meanwhile, as minority participation has risen, white college graduates’ share of the electorate has remained stable, so that in 2012, white voters divided about evenly between college and noncollege graduates.  That dramatic change in educational attainment presents profound political implications. Pew’s recently published compendium of party identification data helps sort through the numbers. In 1992, whites without college experience were more likely to identify as Democrats than as Republicans by a 9-point margin. In the quarter-century since, party identification among noncollege whites was closely contested, with Democrats holding on to a few more in some years and Republicans edging ahead in others. Beginning in 2008, the GOP margin with noncollege whites increased substantially, reaching 26 points this year. Despite what some would have you believe, this is not wholly an effect of Donald Trump. While the GOP advantage reached its current zenith this year, it had been moving strongly in that direction for the past eight. At the same time, a wholly opposite process is at work among whites who have graduated from college. In 1992, whites with a college degree were even more Republican than whites without a degree were Democratic. College-educated whites identified with the Republican Party by an 11-point margin when Bill Clinton defeated George H.W. Bush. But, beginning in 2004, that gap narrowed substantially — today, Democrats enjoy a 1-point edge with college-educated whites. That margin is fueled, importantly, by those with post-graduate experience. What was an even split in 1992 has grown into a 12-point Democratic advantage among those with a post-graduate education. So while Republicans are, and have been, making gains with noncollege whites, they are suffering continuing — albeit smaller — defections from whites who hold a college degree. In the long run, that’s bad news for the GOP, because while whites continue to shrink as a proportion of the electorate, noncollege whites — Republicans’ real base — are shrinking, too. Over the last 20 years, the percent of whites with a bachelor’s degree or more increased at about two-thirds of a percentage point a year, or 2.7 points every four years. Before conservatives start yelling about the liberal academic elite, it is worth noting that there is significant controversy about the magnitude and mechanism of what happens to political attitudes on campus.)

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage Election Commission wants its lawyers to be less political – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160929/news/160928558/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorneys representing the DuPage County Election Commission might have to say “no” the next time a candidate asks them for a campaign contribution. The board that oversees the commission is working to establish a policy that would prohibit the agency’s attorneys from engaging in certain political activity “on behalf of any candidate under the jurisdiction” of the commission. According to a draft of the document, the proposed policy is intended to assure the public that the results of elections in DuPage “are free from any factors which would affect the integrity of the vote tabulation or the voter confidence in the electoral process.” The move comes after officials learned that Bond, Dickson & Associates — a Wheaton law firm that represents the election commission — has donated more than $6,300 since 2003 to Republican Recorder Fred Bucholz.)
