Never be afraid to ask questions – Virginia Backaitis (DIERSEN: While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, I was extremely reluctant to seek or take career advice from my Democrat superiors because I knew that they were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of federal employees who shared my demographics.

Nevertheless, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 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.)

— White House, Warren Farrell mull fix to ‘boy crisis’ – Cheryl K. Chumley
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/6/white-house-warren-farrell-mull-fix-boy-crisis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Warren Farrell, co-author of “The Boy Crisis,” says America has a problem with males and it’s one that goes like this: They’re not being raised to be men. And how true that is. Today’s boys are being taught that masculinity is a disease. Where that’s led is to a rash of fatherless homes — and where that’s led is to a rash of behavioral, mental and psychological problems with the nation’s youth. It’s high time to end the experiment called radical feminism, the one where men aren’t needed and women can raise kids without male presences. It’s time to — as Farrell’s coined it — Make the American Family Great Again. MAGA, with a kick. “The boy crisis resides where fathers do not reside,” Farrell says. And in recent weeks, he’s met and spoken with a variety of folks from President Donald Trump’s administration, including officials with the Health and Human Services agency, the Department of Justice and within the hallowed halls of the White House. His goal is to create a national MAFGA program that would offer a Father Warrior Training program to help get America’s males back on the leadership track — to help bring back the once-valued masculine traits of responsibility, duty, strength and yes, love. To help teach those in the elementary levels how to be a proper father. This is no small task. Neither is it trite.)

— How Much Should Older Workers And Retirees Invest In The Stock Market? – Steve Vernon
https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevevernon/2020/03/03/how-much-should-older-workers-and-retirees-invest-in-the-stock-market/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Start by developing sources of retirement income that won’t drop when the market crashes; these sources should cover the cost of your “needs,” or at least come close. Such sources include Social Security, a pension if you’re lucky enough to have one, and cost-effective annuities you can purchase from an insurance company. Once you’ve developed enough sources of guaranteed retirement income to cover your basic living expenses, hopefully you should feel confident enough to invest your remaining savings significantly in stocks to give your money the potential for growth. This part of your savings can be invested in low-cost target date funds, balanced funds, stock index funds, or real estate investment trust (REIT) mutual funds. Then, use these savings to generate a regular retirement paycheck through a systematic withdrawal plan that covers the cost of your “wants”—hobbies, travel, gifts, and spoiling the grandchildren. When the stock market crashes, be prepared to reduce this retirement paycheck—and the money you’re spending on “wants” —while you’re waiting for the market to recover. If you put this type of plan in place, then, when the market crashes, you should have the patience and confidence to keep your investments in place and ride out the crash. Spend the time necessary to design a thoughtful retirement investing strategy, and you’ll be able to enjoy your life in retirement.)

Top among the donors in the last quarter of 2019 was Marlene Ricketts, the matriarch of the family that owns the Chicago Cubs. She gave $10,000. Sean Morrison, a Cook County commissioner who chairs the county’s GOP, said unlike previous times when Jones sought office, he has been able to resist ballot challenges because the quality of signatures on his candidacy petitions have gotten better.)

— 5 Tips to Help Your Retirement Savings Last as Long as You Live – Matthew Stratman (DIERSEN: The cost of living in Wheaton is very high. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically lower because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Consequently, starting this year, my wife and I are forced to spend our retirement savings to pay for non-discretionary expenses.)
https://www.kiplinger.com/slideshow/retirement/T037-S001-cheapest-u-s-cities-for-early-retirement-2019/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 3. Adopt an adaptive withdrawal (and spending) plan. Be flexible with your discretionary retirement spending, and be willing to reduce income when needed. By setting guardrails you know when to decrease the income in the years when the portfolio is in decline. Having an adaptive withdrawal strategy will allow for higher income in years when the portfolio is rising and help protect your principal during a decline.)

He’s unsure of the exact inspiration for Pandemic but notes he developed it between the SARS epidemic of 2003 and the H1N1 swine flu outbreak of 2009, with warnings about the spread of infectious diseases in the 21st century on his mind. Now 48, he lives with his family in Silicon Valley, and like everyone else, he’s intently following coronavirus news and contemplating the endgame.

By definition, blacklisters have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I should write a book about the blacklisters in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County. I would focus on blacklisters who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/485922-antonio-sabato-jr-backing-trump-got-me-blacklisted
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Antonio Sabàto Jr. says he’s working construction after being “blacklisted” by Hollywood for his support of President Trump. “All my representatives left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move, find a new job to survive and take care of my kids,” the former Calvin Klein model said in an interview this week with Variety. “It’s been terrible. It’s mind-blowing. It’s a disgrace. It’s tough, because if you’re in that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t like, they’re going to let you know,” Sabàto said. The 48-year-old former “Melrose Place” actor was one of a handful of entertainers to vocally support Trump’s 2016 White House bid, and spoke at that year’s Republican National Convention. “I was the first celebrity to come out and talk about the president, and he had my vote from day one,” Sabàto told the magazine. But after Trump won office, Sabàto says his job offers in the entertainment industry dried up, forcing him to pack up and move to Florida for construction work. “I go on the job at two in the morning, and I’m making sure that the job is controlled and supervised by me. I’m in the car all day, driving, going through all the sites. Five days a week, nonstop,” he explained. The one-time GOP House candidate — Sabàto lost a 2018 bid to unseat Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Calif.) — claims other pro-Trump performers are reluctant to publicly vocalize their support for the commander in chief. “I know a lot of actors who are lying about who they’re going to vote for because they don’t want the crap,” Sabàto said. “They won’t want to be talked about and fired from movie sets. This is serious.” “The reality is the power that makes movies happen in Hollywood — casting directors, producers, executive producers, directors — they’re all liberal,” said Sabàto, while also noting he’ll vote for Trump’s reelection in November. “They hate anyone or anything who supports this president.”)

— Media feud escalates
https://capitolfax.com/2020/03/03/media-feud-escalates/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I remember that story because I specifically decided not to post it here. It seemed to be lacking context, but that’s just me. In retrospect, what I probably should’ve done was posted the story and made fun of the liberal governor for warning about 15 percent budget cuts that everybody knows he’ll never willingly make. The Pritzker administration does not respond to any inquiries from Center Square reporters, but the governor does take questions from them at press conferences.)
