CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What does Mayor Rahm Emanuel think of you?  Anti-Trump Emanuel says “Speak out against the hatred and ugliness whirling around us.”  Ever-increasingly, Emanuel promotes hatred against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than his ancestors. To encourage Emanuel to hate me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress that I am 100% German national origin, that my ancestors have been in America since the 1840s, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I am conservative, that I am Republican, that I am American, that I am White, that I am a male, that I am old (68), that I am not poor, that I am a gun owner, that I am a draft avoider, that I oppose illegal/mass immigration, that oppose promotion of dependency on government and on charity, that I oppose promotion of LGBTQ activity, that I oppose promotion of abortion, that I oppose race and gender based preference giving, that I oppose age discrimination, that I oppose patronage, that I oppose political affiliation discrimination, that oppose promotion of booze, pot, gambling, and other vices, and that I oppose diminution of First and Second Amendment rights.  They would stress those Jewish people who have a very low opinion of me including former Money Magazine employees and my former superiors and supervisors in the federal government; if I had been Jewish, Money Magazine and IRS would not have disallowed my education deductions. They would stress that the mayor of Wheaton publicly insults me and that no one comes to my defense.

WSIL TV
— No LGBTQ category included in Census proposal for 2020 count – AP  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote LGBTQ activity.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/35022892/no-lgbtq-category-included-in-census-proposal-for-2020-count
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Census Bureau did not include a separate count of LGBTQ Americans in its proposal for the 2020 Census. The category had been sought by gay rights advocates. The bureau counts Americans according to race, gender and other characteristics. Its proposal submitted to Congress this week did not have a separate category for LGBTQ. The Census Bureau said it had no immediate comment. But gay rights advocates say it’s more evidence that Trump is going back on a campaign promise to protect the gay community. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services removed questions on sexuality from two of its surveys. The Trump administration also has canceled an Obama administration directive that students should use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— A taste of their own medicine – Tom Kacich  (DIERSEN: A major reason why people hate federal employees and hate retired federal employees is that federal employees and retired federal employees like me are eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program.  People want the federal government to screw its employees and screw its retirees just like private sector employers screw their employee and screw their retirees.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2017-03-29/tom-kacich-taste-their-own-medicine.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the end of his 65-minute tele-town hall Monday night, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis was asked whether members of Congress should get their health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act. We do, he said. And he pays more for it than he did under a previous program, with a higher deductible and a higher out-of-pocket maximum cost. “I’m part of the only group that has to, by law, has to get their benefits through the Affordable Care Act for health care,” Davis said. “I actually follow more stringent requirements than the Obama White House did. The Obama White House didn’t have to get their health benefits through the Affordable Care Act exchange like members of Congress and members of the Senate do. They were able to join millions of federal employees through the federal employee health benefit program.” Davis didn’t say it, but the reason for the disparity is that’s the way Congress wrote the law. “For a long period of time,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, “it seemed to me that members of Congress needed to be subject to the laws they pass for the rest of the country.” Davis didn’t sound pleased about his enrollment under the ACA. “We don’t get any special benefits. We do have to follow the health care benefits of the Affordable Care Act where every other federal employee does not,” he said. Members of Congress are enrolled under the ACA’s gold tier plan offered by the DC Health Link. According to the Congressional Research Service, the average employer contribution — which comes from taxpayers — is 72 percent. Davis has family coverage under the ACA, and it’s more expensive, with a higher deductible, than what they had before the ACA under the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. The breakdown, as provided by Davis spokeswoman Ashley Phelps:)

GAO audits IRS.

They rejected the fact that much of what I did for IRS was similar to what GAO employees do – interview, gather facts, summarize facts, analyze facts, make recommendations, write reports, etc.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact that before I transferred, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, that I had earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and that I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170327/BLOGS02/170329877/despite-poll-no-vote-now-on-legal-pot
(FROM THE ARTCLE: Steans was reacting to a survey by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois that found a stunning two-thirds of voters saying they support the legalization of pot “if taxed and regulated like alcohol.” . . . Support for full legalization was wide across the state and among political subdivisions. While such backing was strongest among Democrats, young people and Chicagoans, the plan gets support from 52 percent of Republicans surveyed, 54 percent of downstaters and 51 percent of those aged 66 and up, the institute said. Just 31 percent of voters overall indicated they oppose or strongly oppose such an action.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Many older adults worse off under GOP health plan – Dean Olsen (DIERSEN: How much of a problem has health care insurance been for you?  For me, it has not been a problem because I had Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) insurance when I was a federal employee and my wife and I continue to have FEHB insurance because I am federal retiree.  We pay $5,763 a year and the federal government pays $17,288 a year for our health, dental, and vision insurance.  I addition, we are both covered my Medicare. Together, we pay $2,731 a year for that.)

Beeson, who has Type 2 diabetes, said he values his Health Alliance insurance policy, which he obtained through Illinois’ health insurance exchange with federal subsidies to reduce the monthly premium to $116.)

It May be as Simple as Taking a Class  Study suggests students who took a basic financial-education course exhibited lower levels of impulsive behavior – SIMON CONSTABLE (DIERSEN: Most, if not virtually all of the operatives and the dupes who work for my critics/opponents lack “the ability to delay gratification.” Most have saved little or nothing for their retirement.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-key-to-financial-discipline-it-may-be-as-simple-as-taking-a-class-1490582293
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is well-known that successful investing requires patience and the ability to delay gratification. The question has long been: Can such discipline be taught? A recent study suggests it can. Researchers at Utah State University found that students who completed a basic financial-education course were more willing to wait for a bigger financial payout than those who didn’t. Put another way, those who took the class exhibited lower levels of impulsive behavior. “We see evidence that we can teach people self-control,” says William DeHart, a graduate student at Utah State University and one of the authors of the study, which appeared in PLOS ONE, a scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science, in July 2016.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims. Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

USA TODAY

GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always been in the first floor family room at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton.  GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always officially declared who owns it (me) and who operates it (me).  Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS has had no lavish parties.  Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and its website
www.gopillinois.com have no advertising.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/23/bannons-rise-forces-breitbart-news-out-shadows-and-basement-trump/99456912/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bare-knuckled conservative news organization has moved its office out of the house where former chief Steve Bannon lived, has begun to reluctantly disclose its ownership, and, in its quest for official recognition, may even go so far as to publicly declare who runs the place. Breitbart has for the past several years operated, basically, out of Bannon’s house. Bannon was the executive chairman of Breitbart News and the ideological engine behind the site’s bareknuckled anti-immigration, anti-government ideology. He and the site both operated out of a townhouse on Capitol Hill a couple of blocks behind the Supreme Court. It became known as the “Breitbart Embassy,” site of lavish parties upstairs and the typing of a staff of young reporters downstairs, whom Bannon  referred to as “the Valkyries.”)

Generally, you reach the 80 percent limitation when you have 41 years and 11 months of service, not including accumulated sick leave.”  If my GAO superiors had not succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I would have had 42 years of service in 2010 when I was 62 years old.  In today’s dollars, my CSRS pension would be $98,393/year instead of the $50,856/year that it is now, or $47,537/year (48%) more.)

— OUTSTANDING: Rauner not a fan of legalizing marijuana – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-morning-spin-chicago-city-council-member-calls-colleague-chump-alderman-takes-it-back-20170323-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Responding to recently introduced legislation that would legalize marijuana in Illinois, Gov. Bruce Rauner had a less than enthusiastic response but said he’d be willing to study it. “I’m not a believer that legalizing more drugs will help our society so I’m not philosophically enthusiastic about it, but I’m also open to what actually works to make life better to people,” Rauner told the “Roe Conn Show” on WGN-AM 720 on Thursday. “I’m hearing some pretty bad stories. Now, I haven’t studied it. I think we should do a thoughtful analysis of what’s happening in these other states. I’m hearing a lot of trouble,” he said. “My friends in Colorado have told me some pretty terrible things about addiction problems and behavior problems, etc. over there in Denver.” To sum it up, Rauner said, “I just believe we’re conducting a massive human experiment as we legalize these drugs.”  One Democrat running for the right to take on Rauner next year endorsed the legislation. “Legalizing recreational marijuana is a social justice issue,” said Ald. Ameya Pawar in a statement. “It will reduce the amount we spend as a society arresting and jailing people for low-level nonviolent offenses, when our criminal justice system should be focused on reducing violence,” he said.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-trump-health-care-congress-immigration-krauthammer-perspec-0324-20170323-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The media. Trump is right. It is the opposition party. Indeed, furiously so, often indulging in appalling overkill. It’s sometimes embarrassing to read the front pages of the major newspapers, festooned as they are with anti-Trump editorializing masquerading as news. Nonetheless, if you take the view from 30,000 feet, better this than a press acquiescing on bended knee, where it spent most of the Obama years in a slavish Pravda-like thrall. Every democracy needs an opposition press. We damn well have one now. Taken together — and suspending judgment on which side is right on any particular issue — it is deeply encouraging that the sinews of institutional resistance to a potentially threatening executive remain quite resilient. James Madison’s genius was to understand that the best bulwark against tyranny was not virtue — virtue helps, but should never be relied upon — but ambition counteracting ambition, faction counteracting faction. You see it even in the confirmation process for Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s supremely qualified and measured Supreme Court nominee. He’s a slam dunk, yet some factions have scraped together a campaign to block him. Their ads are plaintive and pathetic. Yet I find them warmly reassuring. What a country — where even the vacuous have a voice. The anti-Trump opposition flatters itself as “the resistance.” As if this is Vichy France. It’s not. It’s 21st century America. And the good news is that the checks and balances are working just fine.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: This unfortunate outcome was not surprising to anyone who has watched seminaries throughout the country embrace and elevate radical “identity theology.” Identity politics have been dividing Americans for decades. Now identity theologies are splitting Christian denominations, colleges and seminaries in similar fashion. Entire theologies have developed from one’s self-orientation in an attempt to denounce patriarchy, sexism, racism and homophobia. Feminist theology and black-liberation theology produced womanist theology. Now queer theology asks, in the words of Marcella Althaus-Reid, “What can sexual stories from fetishism and sadomasochism tell us about our relationship with God, Jesus and Mary?”)

— The Breitbart fear: Federal employees are scared they’ll be targeted by conservative media  Executive branch staffers right-wing hit jobs will cost them their careers – MATTHEW ROZSA
http://www.salon.com/2017/03/23/the-breitbart-fear-federal-employees-are-scared-theyll-be-targeted-by-conservative-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump has already left the State Department in chaos with his massive layoffs and marginalization of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Now it appears that, because of Trump’s past habit of getting his information from right-wing news outlets, many government staffers across the executive branch are afraid that conservative media hit pieces against them will cost them their careers. The belief that executive branch staffers are insufficiently loyal to Trump and are secretly working to promote the policies of President Barack Obama has inspired a wave of attack articles from right-wing sites like Breitbart and the Conservative Review, according to Politico. Breitbart has even published a list of so-called “Obama loyalist bureaucrats” that it urged Trump to “either fire immediately or remove from their current positions.” Breitbart’s former CEO, Steve Bannon, is currently Trump’s chief strategist.)

CATHOLIC CITIZENS OF ILLINOIS
— ‘Ending White Privilege Starts With Ending Jewish Privilege’ fliers hung at U. Illinois-Chicago – REBECCA DOWNS (DIERSEN: Government is nasty.  Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. I should write a book about my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government who focused on turning my many Jewish superiors and Jewish supervisors against me. They stressed that I was 100% German national origin and that I had been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.  In my defense, I stressed that all my ancestors had immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)
https://catholiccitizens.org/news/70421/ending-white-privilege-starts-ending-jewish-privilege-fliers-hung-u-illinois-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fliers recently hung at the University of Illinois at Chicago declare “Ending White Privilege Starts With Ending Jewish Privilege.”  The fliers use Pew Research Center data in an attempt to validate the statement, including that while Jews make up 2 percent of the population in the United States that “44% of these Jewish Americans are in the top 1%.” “Is the 1% straight, white men? Or is the 1% Jewish?” the flier questions. The university acted swiftly, issuing a statement March 15, the same day the fliers were found on campus. “Such actions do not reflect the values we hold as a community. Acts that invoke hatred or violence toward members of our community will not be tolerated on our campus,” campus officials said. “We strongly encourage all members of our university to exercise their right to free speech in a manner that recognizes these principles and avoids prejudice or stereotypes,” they added. Despite the campuswide statement, more anti-Semitic fliers were found posted on campus over the weekend. One discussed “Jewish privilege” with regard to “the special privilege when it comes to top universities.” Another linked the de-hiring of Professor Steven Salaita with then-Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s meeting with “a wealthy Jewish Donor in Chicago.” A third criticized jail time for those who deny the Holocaust. Still another flier equated Auschwitz with Gaza, claiming the “largest Concentration Camp in the world today is owned and operated by Zionists.” While the fliers did not identify the student or organization responsible, they did include various hashtags: #BlackLivesMatter, #WeAreAllMuslims, #WhitePrivilege and #StandwithPalestine. Student Eva Zeltser, who posted images of the fliers on Facebook, said her “heart is broken.” “While I try to abstain from writing personal narratives on Facebook, enough is enough,” she stated. “If you are against hate crimes against one group, you should be against these acts of violence for ALL groups. Found all over the UIC campus. Things like these posters are actively posted to catalyze anti-Semitism and increase hate toward Jews.” The incident at the University of Illinois at Chicago comes as a strong uptick in anti-Semitic incidents on campuses nationwide has been observed. UIC Levine Hillel Center’s Executive Director Rabbi Seth Winberg condemned the posters in an email to The College Fix, noting they have caused anger and sadness. The center asked the university to “conduct a full investigation and to address the campus culture that would allow such hateful targeting of Jews.” “We will not let these hateful flyers deter us from our work to build a vibrant community at UIC,” Winberg added.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— ‘Media Attention’ and IRS Abuse  A simple rule fix could end partisan targeting tomorrow. – JOHN J. VECCHIONE  (DIERSEN: Were it not Henry Hyde’s intervention, IRS would never have approved Adversity.Net’s 501(c)(3) application. SEE:
http://www.adversity.net/)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/media-attention-and-irs-abuse-1490137171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Americans for their political views may have ended with the Obama administration—or even with its exposure in 2013. But it could easily recur. Even now, an internal IRS rule singles out applicants for nonprofit status who might be tied to anything newsworthy. The genesis of the targeting scandal was Section 7.29.3 of the Internal Revenue Manual. As noted in a report my organization is issuing Wednesday, this manual dictates how IRS employees handle everything from customer service to criminal investigations. This particular section tells them to flag for further review any application for tax-exempt status that might “attract media or Congressional attention.” That’s a broad, vague and subjective command that career IRS employees are nevertheless required to follow. Emails between IRS personnel make clear that low-level employees were guided by this rule throughout the targeting scandal. They repeatedly cited “media attention” on the Tea Party as the reason to single out and delay applications from conservative groups. This rule means that IRS enforcement reflects the ideological biases of the media. Aside from a small number of groups related to the Occupy Wall Street movement and the defunct advocacy group Acorn, libertarian and free-market groups were almost exclusively targeted. These provisions of the IRS manual have nothing to do with the merits of a nonprofit application and everything to do with keeping the agency from looking bad. It is inappropriate for a group’s tax-exempt status to be deep-sixed because of negative publicity. In the targeting scandal, this approach allowed partisan concerns to overtake the application process, resulting in the unfair treatment of political viewpoints at odds with the Obama administration. Equal justice under the law demands that the IRS abandon the “newsworthy” criterion. To date, however, the agency has promised only to stop making lists of targeted groups “until further notice.” Even if the halt were permanent, it wouldn’t be enough. IRS officials are still required to follow the manual and pull high-profile applications for enhanced scrutiny. The IRS can change its employee manual today. No new law is required. The simplest explanation for why the agency has not done so lies in the nature of bureaucracies—they refuse to relinquish power even after demonstrated abuse. The procedure for newsworthy applicants provides a convenient cover to shield improper partisan decision-making.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-skills-shift-for-high-paying-jobs-women-see-advantages-1490101201
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Men are losing ground in the labor market, and it’s not just the ones without college degrees. Even those with higher education are seeing their chances of holding a good job drop relative to women, according to new research. Three economists found that the high-paying occupations of the past few decades—from doctors to software engineers to financial advisers—require increasing levels of interpersonal skills such as collaboration, empathy and managing others. “That’s been favoring women in high-paying jobs,” said one of the study’s authors Henry Siu, a professor at the University of British Columbia. Women’s advancement in those jobs accelerated from 1980 to 2000. The trend slowed from 2000 to 2014, but even during that period, college-educated women saw their job prospects essentially hold steady while male peers’ prospects declined, according to Mr. Siu and his co-authors, Guido Cortes at the University of Manchester in England and Nir Jaimovich at the University of Southern California. The economists have been presenting their working paper, “The End of Men and Rise of Women in the High-Skilled Labor Market,” at economics conferences in recent months. Men are still better-represented in so-called good jobs, which the authors define as paying in the top 25% of all occupations or requiring mostly cognitive skills like problem-solving and analysis. But their chances of being in such jobs have fallen over time while women’s chances are rising. In 1980, 66.2% of male college graduates worked in cognitive jobs; by 2000, that proportion had fallen to 63.3%, according to U.S. census data reviewed by the economists. Meanwhile, 58.8% of college-educated women held such roles in 2000, up from 54.2% in 1980. By 2014, 61.4% of college-educated men were in those good jobs, compared with 57.8% for their female counterparts.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-democrats-immigration-trump-muslim-ban-20170320-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Democrats want to win again, they must do one of two things: Attract back the Obama-Trump voter or win over the Romney-non-Trump voter. Their protestations against border security and the travel ban are not likely to do either. Surveys show that Obama-Trump blue-collar voters like Trump’s anti-immigration stance. These voters are likely to have felt competition from immigrants legal and illegal, and they want that competition to stop. Even though many of these voters agree with Democrats on traditional economic issues like taxes and entitlement spending, their primary concern now is to protect their livelihoods and standard of living by reducing competition from foreigners living at home and abroad. . .Democrats are either unwilling to see the truth or unable to acknowledge it: They cannot win back the presidency without attracting people who disagree with some of their views. Doing that does not mean singing the same old songs louder and more clearly.)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/20/cinco-de-mayo-canceled-mexicans-fear-trump-deporta/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Cinco de Mayo celebration called El Carnaval de Puebla, held each year in Philadelphia, has just been suddenly canceled — and in short order, it’s due to President Donald Trump. Why? The normal and usual Mexican holiday participants are worried they might get deported. This is a good thing. For years, under Barack Obama, the law-abiding of the nation have watched with a wintry mix of outrage and disbelief as the nation’s illegals stood at podiums — public podiums, immigration officials be hanged — to shed tears for their entitlement rights, and demand the mean ol’ Republicans who want to deport them get in the amnesty line. Jose Antonio Vargas was probably the worse-case scenario of a face-slapping to America’s border control laws. Remember Vargas? He was the guy who penned a long-winded heart-puller in New York Times Magazine entitled, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” Was he arrested? No. Shortly after writing another piece about the plight of the illegals — to include his personal struggles in a country like America with borders — Team Obama announced the halting of deportation of those age 30 and under who met certain DREAM Act circumstances. Vargas was also the guy who called his illegal self an American — that he just didn’t “have the right papers.” Right. But he was hardly the only illegal in America, under the Obama administration, to boldly go forth as an illegal — to demand equal rights to citizens. Thousands of others took part in public events, outright outing their illegal statuses, outright casting deportation concerns to the wind. And why wouldn’t they? Obama had an open door policy at the border — an open door policy that led him, in the days before the last presidential election, to pretty much encourage those without voting rights to, well, get to the ballot boxes and vote, anyway. His message: Because who’s going to deport them?  When asked in late 2016 by a member of the media if undocumented citizens, dreamers — “I call them citizens” — got in the election game and voted, would immigration officials then know their location and deport them, Obama’s response: “Not true. And the reason is first of all when you vote you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating.” Go on, Obama egged. Vote. Nobody’s checking — not in my administration, anyway. Well, new administration. And now illegals across the nation seem to be getting the message that the new sheriff in the White House isn’t so blind to the borders. Typically, up to 15,000 gather in South Philadelphia each year for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. But this year? Different story, it seems. In recent times, Trump’s border control officials have arrested or detained hundreds of illegals. Why just within the last few days, 248 were detained in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia during a mass federal raid that lasted about two weeks. As such, illegals everywhere are starting to think: Hey, maybe we ought not strut about as if we’re citizens any longer. Good idea. “The group of six organizers decided to cancel unanimously,” said Edgar Ramirez, one of the Cinco de Mayo organizers, to a local NBC affiliate about the fate of the event. “Everyone is offended by the actions of ICE. They did not feel comfortable holding the event.” Ramirez’s comments were meant to be critical — were meant to demonstrate just how Trump’s crackdowns were causing undue chaos in the illegal community. But sorry, no sympathy here. For the law-abiding in America, Ramirez’s announcement is just yet another feel-good moment for the election of Trump — another chance to breathe a collective sigh of relief that the adults are back in charge and order, justice and law once again count.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— No Crackdown on Illegal Employers – Editorial (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, Trump should immediately require all employers in America to use E-Verify a) before hiring any new employees and b) to verify that all their current employees are legal.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/opinion/no-crackdown-on-illegal-employers.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump began his campaign assailing immigrants as ruthless lawbreakers who steal American jobs with impunity. To halt them, he has vowed to build a wall along the border with Mexico, hire thousands of new immigration agents, ramp up immigrant detention and subject visa applicants to even more rigorous vetting. His administration has been largely silent, however, about the strongest magnet that has drawn millions of immigrants, legal and not, to the United States for generations: jobs. American employers continue to assume relatively little risk by hiring undocumented immigrants to perform menial, backbreaking work, often for little pay. Meanwhile, as Mr. Trump’s deportation crackdown accelerates, families are being ripped apart, and communities of hard-working immigrants with deep roots in this country are gripped by fear and uncertainty. As long as employers remain off the hook, a border wall and an expanded dragnet can only make temporary dents in the flows of undocumented immigrants.)

http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/242518816-story
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The owners of a longtime Ravenswood musical instrument store say they are shutting down and leaving Chicago because they are Trump supporters. Worlds of Music Chicago co-owner Suzzane Monk shared her frustration in a letter to Crain’s Chicago Business: “From the constant protests blocking roads and businesses, to the attacks on Trump supporters, to the verbal and online bullying going on every day across this city, Chicago, you have made it quite clear that Trump supporters are not welcome. When my fellow Chicagoans praised the riot at UIC that shut down the Chicago Trump rally I attended, I was angry and ashamed. Since I am not one to be silent, I have been bullied. My husband and our music store, Worlds of Music Chicago, are still being bullied. Sadly, my story is not unique. Other Chicago Trump supporters are experiencing the same hate, bullying and intimidation. If you need any further evidence of Trump supporters being unwelcome, you need merely turn on the local news, pick up a local paper or read your alderman’s latest newsletter bashing and misrepresenting our president.” Monk said the store, located at 4161 N. Damen, will close at the end of April. Her letter to Crain’s follows an unsuccessful GoFundMe campaign titled “Save Music Store From Trump Haters.” That campaign had a goal of $30,000, but as of March 18, had only raised $5,955.)

http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/politics/whats-neil-gorsuchs-religion-its-complicated/675237663
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eventually, the conversation turned to Gorsuch’s own religious background. He was raised Catholic, but now worships with his wife and two daughters at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colorado. Like the city, the congregation is politically liberal. It bars guns from its campus and installed solar panels; it condemns harsh rhetoric about Muslims and welcomes gays and lesbians. And its rector, the Rev. Susan Springer, attended the Women’s March in Denver, though not as a form of protest but as a sign of support for “the dignity of every human being.” Springer says St. John’s is carrying out the covenant Episcopalians recite during baptisms: to strive for justice and peace among all people. Her congregation, she added, includes liberals, conservatives and all political points in between. “What binds us together as one body is a curiosity and longing to encounter and know God,” she wrote in an email to CNN, “a willingness to explore our own interior selves, and a desire to leave the world in some small way better for our having been in it.”)
