I should write a book about my envy-filled/nasty/troubled/failed/vicious critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. They have always viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me for my not being thankful enough. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, that I have always been privileged, that I never really earned what I have, that everything that I have was given to me on a silver platter, and that I certainly do not disserve what I have. They stress my demographics and they stress that I avoided the draft, that I worked for the federal government, that I am not a member of a church, that I do not attend church services, that I do not give money to a church, that I do not give money to their favorite charities, that my wife and I gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, that we did not become foster parents, that etc.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Thankful for our pets – Mona Charen (DIERSEN: Dog ownership is extremely time-consuming and expensive. One reason why I can afford to spend 10+ hours each and every day to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and to send them out each and every day is that I have never owned a dog.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/mona-charen-thankful-for-our-pets/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Americans spent $15.4 billion on veterinary care in 2015 (only half of it by my family). The average American spends more on pets annually than on alcohol, landline phones or men’s and boys’ clothing. We spend more on veterinary care for our dogs than the average person spends for his own medical care in the Dominican Republic, Egypt, India and many other countries. Even knowing that we’re a devoted nation of pet lovers, it’s still surreal to visit the specialists’ office and see the range of possibilities on the office wall — cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, etc, etc. We’ll need the oncologist soon.)
— On this Thanksgiving, let’s give each other a break – Editorial (DIERSEN: Who gives you a break? My critics/opponents would say that they are giving me a break by letting me continue on as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. However, they hint/imply/argue/shout that they have more than enough religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage Country, and in Illinois that they could end my aforesaid positions overnight. They stress that my supporters did little or nothing to help me keep my positions as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, a GAO employee, etc. My critics/opponents crow that they can, that they have, and that they will viciously destroy anyone who supports me.)

RUSS STEWART
— CLINTON GOT 83.7% OF CHICAGO VOTE, BUT THERE WERE STILL 134,792 “DEPLORABLES” (DIERSEN: I am a deplorable, that is, I am a Republican. If I had more time, I would analyze the DuPage vote and the Milton Township vote to identify those precincts which have the most deplorabes in total and as a percentage of registered voters.)
http://www.russstewart.com/articles/2016/11-23-2016.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mark Twain popularized the saying that there are “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” In Chicago, and by extrapolation Cook County and Illinois, there were truths, damn truths and stunning statistics on Nov. 8. The most fundamental truth is that when a candidate such as Hillary Clinton wins Chicago 907,920-134,792, a margin of 773,128 votes, Illinois is gone. There is no way for a Republican to counteract that vote margin in the Collar Counties and Downstate. Clinton won the state by 859,319 votes, with Chicago supplying 90 percent of that margin. Chicago may be a “sanctuary city,” but Republicans are vanishing quicker than illegal aliens. Wait a minute, are any “undocumenteds” vanishing? Mitt Romney got 148,181 votes in Chicago in 2012, while Donald Trump got 134,792 votes, a paltry 12.4 percent and a diminution of 13,389 votes, on Nov. 8. Trump won a majority in 25, or 1.2 percent, of Chicago’s 2,116 precincts, four in the 41st Ward and two in the 38th Ward on the Northwest Side and 13 in the 19th Ward, four in the 23rd Ward and two in the 13th Ward on the Southwest Side. Trump averaged an anemic 63 votes per precinct. Bruce Rauner averaged 64 votes in 2014, but Pat Quinn got 407,107 fewer votes than Clinton did. On that trajectory, by 2028 or soon thereafter, the Republican vote may fall under 5 percent countywide and Republicans would lose their ballot line. Clinton got 95.4 percent of the vote in Chicago’s 18 black-majority wards, 87.1 percent in the 11 Hispanic-majority wards and 84.6 percent in the seven affluent, mostly white, Lakefront wards. Chicago has become “Manhattan West,” or maybe “San Francisco East,” conspicuously, congenitally and compulsively liberal. As for Chicago’s black wards, they’re “Harlem West,” with Trump’s 13,286 votes here only slightly exceeding his total in New York’s predominantly black neighborhood. Trump got 3 percent or less of the vote in 11 of the 18 black-majority wards. He lost the 24th Ward 15,932-245. Trump averaged 738 votes in those 18 wards. The Republicans have ceased to be a nuisance, and they now are a nonentity. Truth number one is that, like the rest of the country, Clinton did not replicate Obama’s 2012 showing among black voters. Obama got 422,727 votes in the black-majority Chicago wards in 2012, while Clinton got 363,621 in this election, a falloff of 59,100 votes, as is shown in the attached chart. In Illinois that decline didn’t matter, as Clinton’s vote increased among Hispanics and white liberals. You can’t lose Illinois coming out of Chicago with a 907,920-134,792, 83.7 percent, majority, which is a margin of 773,128 votes. However, Clinton got 54,818 more votes in Chicago than Obama got in 2012. Clinton won Illinois by 859,319 votes, almost as good as Obama’s 884,296-vote margin in 2012. In other urbanized Great Lakes states, such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, a 10 to 15 percent decline in the black vote tipped those states to Trump. Truth number two is that, unlike the rest of the country, white male blue collar workers and those in law enforcement failed to defect to Trump in significant numbers. Only in the Far Northwest Side 41st Ward, which is chock full of cops and firefighters, did Trump even come close. The Clinton-Trump vote was 14,042-11,457, a 52.3 percent win and a margin of 2,585 votes, with Trump winning a majority in four of 47 precincts and getting 40 to 49 percent of the vote in another 28. Clinton actually did better there than Obama, who won 13,134-11,048. Clinton got 908 more votes than Obama got in 2012, while Trump, who got 42.6 percent of the vote in the ward, ran just 409 votes ahead of Romney, who got 44.9 percent. Given all the hysteria and the nasty $4 million Michael McAuliffe-Merry Marwig race for state representative, turnout in the 41st Ward increased from 24,634 in 2012 to 26,867 in this election. The 41st Ward encompasses Edison Park, Norwood Park and Oriole Park, and it is to Chicago what Staten Island is to New York, an enclave of conservativism. McAuliffe won the ward 11,050-7,783. Debatably, the Trump vote was more of a positive than a negative for McAuliffe. McAuliffe said that he had “a lot of Trump negativity” in the Park Ridge areas of the district, but that wasn’t the case in the 41st Ward, which has 34 precincts in the district. In fact, the Nov. 8 statistics are astounding. On the Northwest Side, except for the recalcitrant 41st Ward, the Clinton vote was 5 to 10 percent greater than the 2012 Obama vote.)

WORKER’S WORLD
— Trump targets federal workers – Carl Lewis (DIERSEN: When you first learn that someone is a federal employee or a retired federal employee, what does that make you think of that person? Ever-increasingly, individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries despise if not hate federal employees and federal retirees. I was a federal employee for almost 30 years and I have been a federal retiree for more than 19 years.)
http://www.workers.org/2016/11/23/trump-targets-federal-workers/#.WDbIDhHxZZI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There is evidence that the incoming Trump administration plans to target federal workers, including privatizing the Department of Veteran Affairs, to reduce the size of the federal workforce and substantially cut wages. Among the right-wing ideologues and advisors to Donald Trump on federal workers is Newt Gingrich, coauthor of the infamous “Contract with America” (more aptly called a “Contract ON ‘America’ “) released by the Republican Party in 1994. It outlined austerity plans to decimate the working class as a whole and to specifically target federal workers. Gingrich was asked how this change would be managed in an interview with Lisa Rein of the Washington Post. “So there are two groups in Washington on this issue who are initially opposed,” stated Gingrich. “First you have the hard-line federal employee unions. They’re like the teachers union in New York. They are parallels. They are the group, that no matter how sick it is, they have a vested interest in the old order.” (Oct. 19). These cryptic comments refer to limiting collective bargaining rights, removing due process rights and cutting wages. Gingrich holds up Scott Walker, the anti-union governor of Wisconsin who devastated public employee unions and employee pensions, as a model. Gingrich used the example of short-staffed VA workers in Texas who were forced by management, under penalty of being charged with “insubordination,” to make phony appointments for veterans and then list them as “no-shows.” Instead of placing the blame where it should be — on incompetent and corrupt management officials who received bonuses for the volume of calls received and answered — he blames the workers who are the victims. This scam was finally exposed by an employee whistleblower and led to a shakeup in the agency. Like sharks smelling blood and going into a feeding frenzy, the ruling class began to use this example to put federal workers further under the chopping block. Paul Ryan, current Speaker of the House, views federal workers as a “privileged class.” When Ryan sat on the House Ways and Means Committee, which determines budgets for federal agencies, he proposed freezing workers’ pay for five years; raising the bar on performance standards; increasing the workload on employees by not backfilling when workers retire, resign or are terminated; and decreasing employee leave time, among other measures. Ryan’s ideas were copied from the right-wing Heritage Foundation’s “Blueprint for Reform.” Jessica Klement, the legislative director for the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, refuted the blueprint: “The report starts with the assumption that federal pay and benefits are overly generous, and not in line with the private sector, and therefore need to be decreased. This assumption is wholly inaccurate. Most federal jobs lag behind their private sector counterparts.” The Federal Salary Council says federal employees are underpaid by an average of 35 percent. (fedsmith.com, July 16) Trump, however, plans to increase pay and benefits as well as new hires for the National Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to carry out his racist and anti-immigrant plans.)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/nov/23/republican-governors-victories-come-with-burdens-t/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Once thought a sure way to block illegals, the federal web-based E-Verify system was supposed to allow “businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.” It doesn’t really. “We’ve got to talk about E-Verify,” Mr. Hutchinson said. “People come here for jobs. Reducing the power of that magnet reduces the cost of securing the border.” E-Verify now is riddled with holes. Even the official Department of Homeland Security website bears this proviso: “E-Verify does not provide your employer with any immigration, citizenship status or document information about you.” “A more effective system is more expensive,” Mr. Hutchinson said. “You have to check more databases to authenticate the identity of the person who presents a card. A truly comprehensive E-Verify burdens small businesses financially, but if you exempt businesses that employ fewer than 50 people, you leave the door open to fraud.”)

His policy is strict on illegal immigration; its impact will likely affect many different companies. Trump has advocated to make E-verify mandatory. (E-verify is a web based system that allows employers to verify their legality as a worker in the US. ) He has also stated that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency will begin conducting more dramatic SWAT-style raids. Your employer may be implementing E-verify forcefully in the future based on President Elect Trump’s rhetoric.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-morning-spin-rauner-emanuel-20161122-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Senate lawmakers have scheduled a hearing to examine abuse and neglect at the state’s group homes for people with developmental disabilities following an investigation by the Chicago Tribune that found a system where basic care is lacking and harm is hidden by regulators. The Tribune found at least 42 deaths linked to abuse or neglect in group homes or their day programs in the last seven years, as care often fell to employees who were unlicensed or poorly trained. The hearing will take place at 9 a.m. Nov. 30 at the state Capitol in Springfield.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161121/BLOGS11/161129987/geofeedia-cuts-half-its-jobs-as-it-looks-for-new-direction
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The cuts happened last month, not long after Geofeedia was named in a broader report by the American Civil Liberties Union for selling software that was being used by law enforcement to monitor protesters. Several social media companies cut off Geofeedia’s direct access to their feeds of otherwise publicly available posts. Such access is crucial to the real-time capabilities that made Geofeedia popular with police departments, news organizations and private companies. The company’s plight illustrates how easily tech startups can run into trouble as new areas of technology evolve faster than their business models.)

THEY WILL STRESS THAT THEY ARE NOT A CITIZEN OF AMERICA, THAT THEY ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE, THAT THEY ARE A MINORITY, THAT THEY ARE A FEMALE, THAT THEY ARE YOUNGER THAN TRUMP, THAT THEY ARE NOT PROTESTANT, THAT THEY ARE NOT RICH, THAT THEY DO NOT OWN ANY GUNS, THAT THEY ARE NOT OVERWEIGHT, THAT THEY ARE NOT GERMAN NATIONAL ORIGIN, THAT THEIR ANCESTORS HAVE NOT BEEN IN AMERICA FOR A LONG TIME, THAT THEY ARE VETERANS OR AT LEAST THAT THEY THEY DID NOT AVOID THE DRAFT, THAT THEY ARE NOT MARRIED, ETC.)

— Should I stay or should I go? U.S. civil servants gird for Trump – Reuters (DIERSEN: Federal employees who seek jobs outside the federal government will soon learn of how strongly employers and everyone else despise, if not hate, past and present federal employees. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats who despised, if not hated, Republicans like me.)
http://whbl.com/news/articles/2016/nov/22/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-us-civil-servants-gird-for-trump/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the U.S. presidential election has set off a round of resume-polishing across Washington, as the nation’s federal civil servants prepare for a leader who has promised to freeze hiring and reverse many of the policies they have spent the past eight years putting in place. While anti-Washington rhetoric is a staple of U.S. politics, more than two dozen federal workers interviewed by Reuters said Trump’s divisive presidential campaign pointed to bigger potential problems than those that would normally come with a routine switch from a Democratic to a Republican administration. The New York businessman’s lack of political experience and contentious rhetoric have prompted some to assess whether they should leave government before he takes office on Jan. 20. As the Republican presidential candidate, Trump encouraged his supporters to harass journalists and attack protesters. He vowed to sue news outlets and women who accused him of sexual assault and said he would jail his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump’s conduct has caused some undercover agents to worry that their identities could be made public if they step out of line, said Susan Hennessey, a former attorney at the National Security Agency who has been urging people in government to keep working in Trump’s administration to help resist potential abuses of power. “I can’t and don’t blame anyone who feels they can’t stay,” she said. Other federal workers worry their integrity could be compromised if they work on cases that affect Trump’s vast business interests. Trump’s taxes are being audited by the Internal Revenue Service and the National Labor Relations Board is involved in a labor dispute at his Las Vegas hotel. Changes to tax laws or pollution rules could potentially impact some of his property holdings. “Do I get out or is it all the more important that I stay in to push back on the problematic things?” said one federal worker, who, like others interviewed for this story, asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation at work. UNRAVELING POLICIES A transfer of power always convulses Washington to some degree, particularly when it comes to the departure and arrival of political appointees in more than 4,000 posts. Those top officials oversee 2.7 million civilian workers, from park rangers to tax lawyers, who are expected to enact the president’s agenda and enforce laws passed by Congress regardless of their personal political views. But several workers told Reuters they’d rather leave government service than carry out orders they don’t agree with, pointing specifically at Trump’s vow to undo President Barack Obama’s policies on trade, immigration, health care and environmental protection. National security officials have printed out their resignation letters, ready to hand them in if Trump tries to revive policies such as waterboarding or mass surveillance of Americans they oppose on legal or moral grounds, according to more than 20 military, intelligence and Foreign Service officers, who all spoke on condition of anonymity. Regulators at the Environmental Protection Agency privately say they are looking for new jobs ahead of expected cutbacks at their agency, whose climate-change rules were criticized by Trump on the campaign trail. One manager is urging employees to stay on the job. “Sometimes democracy surprises you. And while the election results will no doubt bring many changes over the coming months, our job remains the same,” Sarah Dunham, director of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Atmospheric Programs, wrote to colleagues two days after the election. Misgivings apparently extend into the nation’s 1.5 million military service members as well. A survey released by the Military Times on Friday found that one in five service members said they will not re-enlist with Trump as Commander-in-chief. DEREGULATION DRIVE During his campaign, Trump promised to rescind two regulations for every new one his administration issues and freeze hiring at agencies that don’t cover public safety, public health or national defense. Republicans in Congress have pushed to erode job protections and scale back benefits. That would be a further blow for federal workers who have weathered furloughs, salary freezes and a three-week government shutdown in recent years. The civilian work force has shrunk by 4 percent since Obama’s first year in office, according to White House figures, and it could shrink further. More than one-third of federal workers will be eligible for retirement next year, according to a 2014 Government Accountability Office report. “This isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to us,” said a scientist who manages a fisheries laboratory in the Pacific Northwest of the expected changes. “It’s kind of continual.” There may be a silver lining for those who are trying to get a job working for Uncle Sam. Trump has promised to increase the number of border-security agents and immigration-enforcement officers as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration. And several managers said they were rushing to fill vacancies on their teams before Trump’s promised hiring ban takes effect. “Everybody seems to be scrambling to fill the positions they have open now,” one said.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— Is there a ‘Goldilocks’ rule to federal retirement? – Randy Silvey
http://federalnewsradio.com/commentary/2016/11/is-there-a-goldilocks-rule-to-federal-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thousands upon thousands of current federal employees are quickly approaching that long anticipated day. The day they can expect to receive, farewell cards, a last in-office party and, of course, the cake with some heartfelt sentiment inscribed on its apex like, “Congratulations on your retirement, It’s about time!” Some can hardly contain their excitement and are ready to bolt straight away. While others feel anxiety about leaving and believe they should stay put. Which group has it right? The best retirement porridge comes from waiting just the right amount of time before digging in. Leave too soon, (to hot) risk suffering severe financial burns during retirement years. A time in life in which we are least prepared to recoup from financial catastrophe. Wait too long, (to cold) risk wasting years working, which could have been spent enjoying a hard earned (just right) retirement. . .Years ago, “Government job’s = safe … reliable … great benefits … decent pay … kinda boring.” A government position was considered a good job, supplemented with outstanding benefits. That doesn’t seem to be the prevailing thought anymore. So what happened? What took the luster off of federal employment? I’ve put together a few candidates for this sweeping change of opinion, feel free to add your own: Wages have become stagnant. Hiring freezes, which lead to the “Do more with less” mandates. Constant attacks (by large media and elected officials) on federal employee integrity, work ethics and benefits. Feds have become political badminton birdies. The perception that federal employees are unappreciated by, the public, the media and Washington.)

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/ill-legislator-wants-sanction-firms-help-trump-build-border-wall
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A bill introduced Wednesday in the Illinois General Assembly would punish any businesses that help the federal government build a wall along the U.S. southern border by placing them on a “Prohibited Investment List” alongside companies that boycott Israel and do business with Sudan and Iran. Building the wall between the U.S. and Mexico was a major promise President-elect Donald Trump made to voters during his successful presidential campaign. It is also the first goal of Trump’s “10 Point Plan to Put America First.” Trump said he will “begin working on an impenetrable physical wall on the southern border, on day one. Mexico will pay for the wall.” The proposed legislation submitted by Rep. Will Guzzardi (D-Chicago) would amend the Illinois Procurement Code to prohibit any state agency from “entering into a contract subject to the Code with a business that contracts with the federal government to build a wall along the border of Mexico and the United States of America.”)

— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: Money for illegals, but not for schools? – Steve Small, Dunlap
http://www.pjstar.com/opinion/20161118/letter-money-for-illegals-but-not-for-schools
(FROM THE LETTER: Now that the election is over, we need to be ever vigilant to legislative moves done quietly in veto sessions, lame-duck sessions, etc. One such bill, was passed last May in the Illinois Senate (SB 2196) on a primarily partisan vote — 30 to 19 — with the support of only two Republican state senators (Christine Radogno and Chris Nybo). This bill would provide taxpayer-funded college tuition financial aid for undocumented immigrant students. The measure would add Illinois to the five states that grant immigrant students financial aid for college education regardless of their legal status. Already, Illinois is one of 18 states that allows any status immigrants to qualify for lower in-state tuition and set up a private college fund. This bill then moved to the House, where it languished in the Rules Committee until Nov. 9 — the day after the election — when it magically appeared as “approved for consideration and placed on the calendar order for a third reading.” We need to flood our state reps with outrage over this type of maneuvering! We were just asked to agree to three additional tax increases in Peoria County due to a lack of state funding for roads, schools and veterans care … yet there seems to be plenty of money for illegal non-citizens. It just never ends in the state of Illinois. Please make some noise!)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-group-home-investigations-cila-met-20161117-htmlstory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The house had no address; the dead man had no name. Illinois officials blacked out those details from their investigative report. Nobody else was supposed to learn the man’s identity or the location of the state-funded facility where his body was found. The investigation was closed as it began, with no public disclosure, and the report was filed away, one of thousands that portray a hidden world of misery and harm. No one would know that Thomas Powers died at 3300 Essington Road in unincorporated Joliet, in a group home managed for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Or that his caregivers forced a 50-year-old man with the intellect of a small child to sleep on a soiled mattress on the floor in a room used for storage. Or that the front door bore a building inspection sticker that warned, “Not approved for occupancy.” Not even Powers’ grieving family knew the state had looked into his death and found evidence of neglect. As Illinois steers thousands of low-income adults with disabilities into private group homes, a Tribune investigation found Powers was but one of many casualties in a botched strategy to save money and give some of the state’s poorest and most vulnerable residents a better life. In the first comprehensive accounting of mistreatment inside Illinois’ taxpayer-funded group homes and their day programs, the Tribune uncovered a system where caregivers often failed to provide basic care while regulators cloaked harm and death with secrecy and silence.)

— Park Ridge Disappointed As Donald Trumps Hillary – ANNE LUNDE
http://www.journal-topics.com/news/article_2a2261b6-ac39-11e6-9d68-9bbbdfecaead.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t get quite enough electoral votes to win the White House on Nov. 8, but it wasn’t due to any failure from her home town of Park Ridge, which gave her a 14% lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump. There was initial hope at a local gathering organized by Hillary supporters of all persuasions, held at the Centennial Activity Center, especially when the ABC national anchor team announced moments after the Illinois polls closed at 7 p.m. (Central time) that she and running mate Timothy Kaine had won Illinois. The key was not getting the popular vote, which Clinton appeared to be winning nationally with 47.61% over Trump’s 47.28% based on election night unofficial reports. The winner had to have a majority of electoral college votes, which are determined by different formulas by state. Trump received 290 electoral votes, well ahead of Clinton’s 232, based on returns announced on election night. Her blue-colored states on the national map clustered out east, and on parts of the west coast. Trump’s campaign captured many of the states which were initially too close to call, leaving a sea of Republican “red” on the map by the end of the evening. Neither Libertarian Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld or the Green Party’s Jill Stein with her running mate Alumu Baraka earned electoral votes. In Park Ridge, only three precincts gave Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, a majority of the popular vote: In Maine 43, Trump had 266 votes to Clinton’s 237, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 67, Trump received 458 to Clinton’s 407, Johnson’s 26 and Stein’s 6. In Maine 88, Trump had 230 to Clinton’s 180, Johnson’s 31 and Stein’s 5. Clinton carried the rest of Park Ridge’s Maine precincts, Leyden 23, and Norwood Park Township’s precincts 3, 11 and 14. Local precinct totals in Park Ridge put Clinton ahead overall, earning 11,123 (54.30%), followed by Trump with 8,255 (40.30%), Johnson’s 842 (4.10%) and Stein’s 249 (1.21%).)

CAPITOL FAX
— BEYOND TRAGIC: Pot revenues jump in Colorado
http://capitolfax.com/2016/11/17/pot-revenues-jump-in-colorado/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I went to Denver last weekend on a spur of the moment break just to get the heck outta here for a bit. The flight was cheap, the hotel wasn’t bad and the steaks were awesome. Denver is not a very walkable city, but I liked it. And unless you went to a couple of different “hipster” strips, the pot shops were practically invisible. Yeah, I smelled it walking down the street a couple of times, but I’ve smelled pot in Bucktown, too. So, really, if you weren’t looking for it you didn’t notice it. One reason for that is people aren’t legally allowed to consume the product in public places. You have to smoke it in your home. So, if you don’t live in Denver or live in a building that forbids smoking, you have to smoke it on the sly. My hotel, for instance, imposed $500 fines and immediate evictions if caught smoking weed in your room or even on your room’s balcony. Of course, regulating the public consumption of “edibles” is a lot tougher. But Denver’s voters just approved a public consumption ordinance by a 53-47 margin. So things are about to change… Even with the restrictions, pot tourism is already a big thing out there. Every waiter I had assumed that’s why I was in town (maybe it’s the beard). But public consumption will surely attract more people, as long as they work to keep everything reasonable. A legalized, regulated and taxed production, distribution and consumption chain is the ideal way of doing things. If you buy weed in Denver you’re not supporting criminals. Thumbs up!)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: More than half of Hillary Clinton’s 2.9 million Illinois votes came from Cook County, with most of her remainder drawing from the other highly populated counties. And while President-elect Donald Trump won 91 of the state’s 102 counties, that was not enough to turn Illinois red like its neighbors. The trend of highly populated places voting Democratic and the surrounding, less populated areas voting Republican was a pattern repeated across the country. How deeply did that trend play out in Illinois?)

— VA whistleblower resigns, citing retaliation – AP (DIERSEN: I blew the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination in the federal government. My Democrat GAO superiors retaliated by forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, by not promoting me beyond GS-13, by keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and by forcing me to take an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors retaliated by not promoting me beyond GS-12, by disallowing my education deductions in 1978, and by disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors retaliated by forcing me resign in 1969 and by disallowing my sick leave requests.)
http://www.wandtv.com/story/33728027/apnewsbreak-va-whistleblower-resigns-citing-retaliation
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Department of Veterans Affairs employee who told Congress the agency was using unauthorized wait lists for mental health care in Colorado has resigned, saying he was subjected to retaliation for speaking out. Brian Smothers told The Associated Press Wednesday the VA had opened two separate inquiries into his actions and tried to get him to sign a statement saying he had broken VA rules. He said he refused. Smothers also said the VA reassigned him to an office with no computer access, no significant duties and no social contact. He called the VA’s actions punitive and his working conditions intolerable. He said he resigned as of Tuesday. VA officials had no immediate comment on Smothers’ claim that he was punished for speaking up but said the agency does not tolerate retaliation. They said previously they take any allegation about unauthorized wait lists seriously and were cooperating with an inquiry.)

— Rahm Calls Out Rauner, Trump As Budget Sails Through City Council – STEPHEN GOSSETT
http://chicagoist.com/2016/11/16/trump_rauner_budget.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Aldermen introduced a resolution that urged Rauner to defend undocumented immigrants and support Chicago’s sanctuary-city status. Rauner danced around the topic of Trump in the months preceding the election, trying to not embolden Democrats or hurt Republican chances in downstate races where red-leaning voters are more fond of Donald. The governor still seems shy about even speaking the president’s name. According to Tribune City Hall reporter John Byrne, Emanuel received a standing ovation from the City Council after an immigrant-support speech in which the mayor said Trump “uses a stereotype [of Jews] to justify he’s not anti-Semitic.” Emanuel on Sunday evening released a statement confirming that Chicago would stay a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants, a pronouncement he reaffirmed at a press conference on Monday with several local officials. Emanuel—who, it should be said, accepted $50,000 in donations from Trump in 2010—began to publicly challenge Trump most notably during the honorary street sign kerfuffle.)

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/16/more-millennials-came-out-to-vote-for-donald-trump-than-expected/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Our pre-election poll of Millennials ages 18-34 had Clinton 49% vs. Trump 28%, a 21-point preference for the Democratic candidate. The National Exit Poll suggests that the actual split in the election was 55% for Clinton to 37% for Trump (an 18-point gap) among youth aged 18-29. Throughout the election season, our analysis has emphasized the demographic and ideological heterogeneity of Millennials, contradicting facile generalizations that characterize them as the “Obama generation.” In particular, there are regularly stark differences in ideology and issue positions among Millennials of different races, genders, and socioeconomic status.)

— Trump vs. the federal bureaucracy – Betsy McCaughey (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Who sides with my Democrat superiors, my Democrat supervisors, my Democrat coworkers, and my Democrat subordinates in the federal government against me? ANSWER: Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs. I should write a book about the aforesaid in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and Illinois.)
http://www.theledger.com/opinion/20161117/mccaughey-trump-vs-federal-bureaucracy
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump’s triumph over Hillary Clinton presages an even bigger battle against the heart of the Democratic establishment: the federal workforce. This army of bureaucrats – almost 3 million strong – gave Clinton a large majority of their votes and more than 90 percent of their campaign contributions. Count on federal workers and their union bosses to use every trick in the book to block Trump’s reform agenda. Trump’s ability to fix the Department of Veterans Affairs, clean up IRS abuses, rollback job-killing regulations and get taxpayers’ their money’s worth all hinge on uprooting the entrenched civil service. Newt Gingrich, a top Trump adviser, warns that “if you don’t fix this problem, nothing in government is going to work.” That’s a tall order. The bureaucracy generally retains its vise-like grip on the executive branch, as presidents come and go. Public unions are already digging in for a fight. Responding to the election, J. David Cox, President of the American Federation of Government Employees dismissed Trump’s plans as more or less irrelevant. AFGE members have their own big-government agenda, and “that never changes no matter who sits in the White House.” Protection of the status quo at any cost. Even death. Thousands of sick vets died at the VA because of employee self-dealing. Bureaucrats doctored the medical wait lists to earn bonuses while vets languished without care. Despite Congress enacting “reforms” and President Barack Obama appointing a new VA secretary in 2014, the bureaucracy continues to block giving vets access to civilian care. How impossible is it to fire anyone at the VA? A surgeon found guilty of abandoning a patient on the operating table and leaving the medical center still got an $11,000 bonus. Candidate Trump promised to make swift changes at the VA. Exit polls show military families voted for him 2-1 over Clinton. Dan Caldwell of Concerned Veterans for America says he’s encouraged to see civil service reform at the top of Trump’s agenda.)

The changes are designed to deal with decreased interest in a job that offers low pay, rigorous physical demands and the possibility of death, all while under public scrutiny. There’s also the need to lure more minorities. The Connecticut State Police is among the agencies wrestling with diversity.)

— TRUMP SUPPORTER BEATEN ON WEST SIDE EXPLAINS WHY HE DIDN’T FIGHT BACK – Chuck Goudie and Christine Tresse (DIERSEN: To avoid being harmed by Clinton supporters, Trump supporters may want avoid precincts, townships/wards, and counties where lots of people voted for Clinton. In the interest of full disclosure, about 56% of those in my precinct (on average about one person per residence), 53% in Milton Township, and 53% in DuPage County who voted for U.S. President voted for Clinton. I could point out homes in my precinct in which one or more of the residents are filled with hatred of not only Trump, but of all those like me who share his demographics.)
http://abc7chicago.com/news/trump-supporter-beaten-on-west-side-explains-why-he-didnt-fight-back/1607016/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Donald Trump supporter who was beaten by a mob of teenagers in a Chicago intersection said he didn’t fight back for a reason. Victim David Wilcox retreated and curled up into a ball, but not because he was afraid of being hurt. He told the I-Team that he was terrified of fighting back and going to prison where he has spent many years of his adult life. The video of the beating was seen by millions around the world, but this is the first time we learn the back story. After the incident, Wilcox told the public: “I’m not a violent person. I haven’t been in a long time.” On Monday, he explained to the I-Team what he meant. Wilcox said he hasn’t been violent since what happened in Chicago’s Sauganash neighborhood in August 1986, the last time Wilcox was attacked on a public street. He was 20 years old at the time and outside a house party on Kenneth Avenue, Wilcox said he and his 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend were attacked by several men he’d been feuding with. “He ran up on me with a baseball bat and beat up on me” Wilcox told the I-Team on Monday. “I stabbed the guy and he died…They were aggressors. They started the fight.” Wilcox was convicted of murder and sent to Stateville prison after he was sentenced to 20 years. He served nearly seven-and-a-half years after an appeal dropped the charge to manslaughter. “I’d rather get stabbed and die than go back to prison,” Wilcox said Monday. For Wilcox, it wasn’t just one experience in prison that has him fearful of being locked up again. According to Illinois Department of Corrections officials, he’s been in state prison nine times in the past 30 years. His was arrested for retail theft and, in 2013, faced a marijuana charge in Cook County. When last week’s traffic altercation grew into a Trump-bashing incident, Wilcox defended himself by retreating and later explained the incident just as he explained the 1986 killing he was involved in. “She was the first one who threw a punch,” Wilcox said. As the punches landed, Wilcox was dazed because he had prayed to god to never put him in a violent situation again. And if those who beat him last week are ever arrested, his hope for their punishment comes from experience: “I’m gonna be at every court date and I’m gonna make sure I can do everything I can to where they get locked up,” Wilcox said. He would like to see them locked up in the kind of place where Wilcox says he was — in Stateville, where in the 1980s he says white inmates were unwelcome guests, adding that he has PTSD from his days there. None of this changes the fact that Wilcox was the victim of an angry crowd. But it does explain why he didn’t fight back.)

http://www.aim.org/on-target-blog/liberal-media-unsure-on-how-to-report-on-trumps-pledge-of-not-taking-presidential-salary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The liberal media does not know what to say about Donald Trump’s plan to fulfill his campaign pledge to not take a presidential salary of about $400,000, which would make him the third president to do so, in the footsteps of Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy. Huffington Post could only point out that Trump will be fulfilling a campaign pledge. USA Today insinuated that Trump’s campaign pledge derived from the Republicans’ ire towards Obama and Obama’s golfing trips. CBS News could only say the following: “From the very beginning, Trump has promised that he’d set businesses concerns aside if he was elected. In fact, he told “Face The Nation” moderator John Dickerson last October that he’s been “phasing out” his role throughout his campaign.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— How to Reform the Civil Service – Bruce Walker (DIERSEN: Should I write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who are overjoyed that the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old?)
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/11/how_to_reform_the_civil_service.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thomas Lifson has correctly observed that reforming the Civil Service System ought to be a high priority for President-Elect Trump and the new Republican Congress. We need to understand why the Civil Service System first created as a reform in how the federal government operated. “To the victors go the spoils” was the way Andrew Jackson put it almost 200 years ago. Jackson expressed the view that the president has the right – legal and moral – to throw out government employees and replace them with cronies. The size of the federal government was proportionately much smaller then than today, and those political allies rewarded with jobs to deliver the mail or to collect tariffs seemed innocuous enough, at least until President Garfield was assassinated by a disgruntled federal office seeker in 1881. The Pendleton Act of 1883 created a system in which those who sought federal jobs, except for a layer of high-level executives, had to pass an objective hiring system. The second part of Civil Service System reforms was to create protections that made it difficult – really, almost impossible – for any Civil Service System employee ever to lose his job. This is the heart of the problem. Presidents can fill the upper echelon of federal agencies with whomever they want (except for the few who require Senate confirmation), and presidents can fire these people easily enough as well. But no one – not even these high-level political appointees – can fire anyone. Ironically, the problems with the spoils system had nothing to do with firing federal employees, but only with hiring federal employees. The right reform is simple enough: allow the president to fire any federal employee in the Executive Branch at will, but keep the system in place only for hiring through the Civil Service System. A president would then have the power to fire lazy, dishonest, rude, or unnecessary federal employees, but he could have no power to fill those positions he caused by firing bad federal employees with his supporters or partisans. So if a federal employee took the Fifth Amendment in an investigation of federal malfeasance, something that Thomas Lifson correctly noted was intolerable, the next day, that employee could be told, “You can either refuse to answer questions or keep your federal job, but not both.” If President Trump brought in business experts to analyze federal operations and detect waste and inefficiency, then President Trump could do what he did so often in his reality television show and fire those who are unnecessary. Anyone familiar with the internal operations of government knows that 30% is a conservative figure for the number of federal employees who do nothing. Allowing a tough, business-oriented president like Trump to dramatically reduce the size of the federal government would also reduce the cost of government – and all this could be done expeditiously. Federal employees would instantly become not only more efficient, but more polite and responsive to the public (i.e., the folks who pay their salaries). More than that, coworkers in offices would strongly encourage politeness and civility, because the more complaints a particular office caused, the more likely that office would be to get a bad reputation, and people in that office would be fired. What about the danger of a president forcing people to support him or lose their jobs? Civil servants ought to be completely apolitical anyway and ought not to contribute to any political campaign or to work for any candidate. If that was the case in practice, then the president could not know who did not support him and, because all hiring was objective and removed from the president’s power, he could not hire any friends. If the president could not reward anyone by firing a federal employee but could only punish the federal employee by firing him, he would have every incentive to be fair in firing federal employees. Politicians know that punishing voters loses votes not only because that voter, who may have supported the president, would be unhappy, but because every fired employee has family and friends and neighbors and congregants at his church, and firing an employee causes ill will among all those close to the fired employee. This is a reform is easy to understand and would make sense to the American voter. Best of all, it would work. Civility, efficiency, and integrity in the administration of the federal government would improve almost at once.)

But my star crashed when my Democrat IRS superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. My star was on the rise 1986-1988 while I worked for GAO.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Priebus, 44, has been the longest-serving RNC chairman, winning the job in 2011 after serving as its general counsel. He unseated his boss, Michael Steele, and took over a party that was some $24 million in debt. Priebus led the famous “autopsy” of the GOP after its loss in the 2012 election, which recommended shortening the primary season and endorsing immigration reform as a way of reaching out to Latino voters. Priebus made an unsuccessful run for the Wisconsin state senate and in 2007 became chairman of the state GOP. In 2010, he helped elect Republican Scott Walker as governor and a GOP majority in the state Legislature, and it was clear his star was on the rise.)

I would stress a) that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels (currently $92,632-$120,427); b) that I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels (currently $77,899-$88,286); c) that I passed the CPA examination and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt; d) that I am a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant; e) that I have a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, an MBA from Loyola, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT; and f) that I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter for 13 years. I would stress that I know a lot about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I would stress that I know a lot about those in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, and in Wheaton who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican. I would stress that I would be highly qualified to serve on a committee that would assess the qualifications of those from Illinois who seek positions in the Trump Administration.)

— Students Defend Donald Trump’s Appeal to ‘the People Progress Forgot’ – Josephine Chu (DIERSEN: What do you say held back your career progress the most? For me, it would be political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, otherwise known as Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. If I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran, the federal government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old in 1988.)
