DAILY HERALD
— It wasn’t democracy that forced dangerous pot option on communities – Barbara Shafer (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, if you are an activist, candidate, elected official, party leader, major donor, political consultant, religious leader, education leader, medical leader, etc. who claims to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, you should be doing everything that you can to stop the sale of pot in your municipality and in the unincorporated areas of your county.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20191030/it-wasnt-democracy-that-forced-dangerous-pot-option-on-communities
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Heather Steans couldn’t be more wrong, answering the question (re: cannabis legalization HB1438) “Is democracy a bad thing?” by stating the bill’s co-authors “don’t think so.” It wasn’t democracy. It was representation gone awry with 104 Illinois legislators speaking on behalf of 12.8 million Illinoisans. With 60 out of 104 legislators having received a total of $630,000 in marijuana lobbyist money in 2017 and 45 voting yes, is it interesting? Yes. Comped? Maybe. Democracy? No. Negotiation and compromise were missing, too, with a 600-page amendment appearing in an unrelated shell bill two days before the General Assembly’s end of session. No public debate. No referendum. No transparency. No democracy. Question: Was HB1438 a bad thing? The real question is “Who ends up paying the price: you, your kids, businesses, communities, teachers, or law enforcement?” Other states teach us the answer: All of the above. The co-authors claim, “Our intent was not to impose cannabis dispensaries on every community.” Will it end up that way? Washington State began with mandated medical, offered opt-out recreational, but finally allocated retail licenses to communities.)

— Mass migration encourages mass discrimination against Americans, especially black employees, according to federal data unearthed by the Center for Immigration Studies. – Neil Munro (DIERSEN: Employers prefer hiring immigrants over Americans. Immigrants are far easier to manipulate, dominate, and exploit. If immigration in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s was as high as it is now, employers would have hired immigrants instead of me. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

DAILY CALLER
— Elizabeth Warren Pledges To Crack Down On School Choice, Despite Sending Her Own Son To Elite Private School – PETER HASSON (DIERSEN: Since the 1950s, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me as being undeservedly filthy rich because my parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. How rich were your parents when you were young? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old, and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. My mother never attended high school.)

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. What does that say about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes?

BLOOMBERG
— Warren Would Ban Large Corporations From Hiring Ex-Government Officials For Four Years – Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou (DIERSEN: I should write a book about why I got no job offers after my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years. By forcing me to retire, they shouted that what I had learned doing the following was worthless: a) auditing federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997 at the GS-13 Step 3-10 levels, currently $104,744-$127,654, b) auditing IRS 1986-1988 at the GS-13 Step 1-3 levels, currently $98,198-$104,744, c) auditing other federal agencies in 1989 and 1980-1985, d) working for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $82,579-$93,592, e) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

BIZ WOMEN

Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. Ever-increasingly the leaders of Republican organizations in Illinois are biased against Republican candidates who are White, male, and/or non-veteran who have not been elected to a local office by age 30, county office by age 35, state office by age 40, and federal office by age 45. The aforesaid is called up-or-out, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— Social Security, the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), and Fairness – Brenton Smith (DIERSEN: Because of the WEP and because I get a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, my Social Security is dramatically reduced. Because I get a $53,316/year CSRS pension, my Social Security is only $2,118/year. I worked under Social Security for 10 years washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline; delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, etc. 1964-1974.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/10/29/social-security-wep-fairness/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Social Security Administration released its analysis of the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act of 2019 (H.R. 141) at the end of September. The legislation would provide a break to older Americans (and their spouses) from the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) which reduces the size of the checks coming from Social Security when a person collects a pension from a job not covered by Social Security. The actuaries at the Social Security Administration estimate that this relief will cost the general taxpayer $33 billion over the next 10 years.)
