— Rauner to sign immigration bill — sparking anger on right – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Obviously, Rauner is taking the advice of those who not only want Rauner to lose in 2018, but who want all Republicans to lose in 2018.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rauner-to-sign-immigration-bill-sparking-anger-on-right/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner plans to sign into law on Monday both an automatic voter registration and an immigration measure that would limit the role of local law enforcement in federal efforts —a move that may spark some backlash among his conservative base. Conservative firebrand Joe Walsh tweeted if he signs the immigration bill, “Governor Rauner is done.” Last week the governor on WBEZ-FM called the immigration measure — the Illinois Trust Act — “very reasonable,” but would not confirm whether he’d sign it. On Tuesday, the governor’s office confirmed he’d sign the immigration and voter registration measures on Monday. The immigration legislation would prohibit police in Illinois from detaining or arresting a person based on their immigration status or on federal immigration detainer. It would allow law enforcement officials, however, to detain a person with a judge’s order. The bill passed with bipartisan support and was supported by faith leaders, law enforcement and businesses. But Republicans initially opposed the measure, arguing it will cause a conflict with federal laws. State Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford has said Republicans are concerned the “blanket prohibition could result in leaving criminal illegal immigrants, including those accused of violent crimes, on the streets.” The conservative news organization Breitbart just wrote an article on the bill suggesting Rauner would be helping Democrats “frustrate federal immigration enforcement.” And Walsh, a former congressman and talk radio personality, weighed in on Tuesday, tweeting that if Rauner “allows Illinois to become a sanctuary state, I will not support his reelection. No way.” When TV reporter Mary Ann Ahern tweeted that Rauner planned to sign the bill, Walsh responded: “If true, bad terrible day for Illinois. Gov Rauner is done.” Rauner has steered clear of making comments about federal issues, specifically about “sanctuary cities.” He has said he’s in support of a comprehensive immigration policy, however. The automatic voter registration measure will automatically register people to vote at state drivers’ facilities, when applying for, updating or renewing a driver’s license or state ID — unless they opt out. It also creates a similar program for other state agencies. The governor vetoed a similar measure last year, citing concerns over voter fraud, and federal election laws. Illinois will be the ninth state to approve automatic voter registration. The measure was sent to the governor June 29.)
— ‘White male’ Rauner opts not to weigh in on racial debate over cartoon – Tina Sfondeles  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps and anti-Rauners demonize, denigrate, and condemn as being White supremacists, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things those who are Trump supporters, Rauner 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 for a long time.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/white-male-rauner-opts-not-to-weigh-in-on-racial-debate-over-cartoon/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Noting that he is “a white male,” Gov. Bruce Rauner does not plan to wade into the controversy over a cartoon by a conservative think tank that sparked bipartisan outrage in the General Assembly and charges that it was racially offensive. “The governor would never try to talk anyone out of their reaction to any piece of art, political or nonpolitical, right or left, good or bad,” Rauner spokeswoman Laurel Patrick said Tuesday. “The governor has great respect for the black caucus and members of the General Assembly who voiced concerns about the cartoon. “The governor’s office has also heard from members of the black community who found truth in the imagery and do not find the cartoon offensive. Here is where things stand: The cartoon was removed days ago. And the governor – as a white male – does not have anything more to add to the discussion.” The cartoon by the Illinois Policy Institute depicted a black child in a Cubs cap begging for money for school from a wealthy cigar-smoking white man, who was showing one pocket empty and the other stuffed with tax-increment financing money. State Rep. Jaime Andrade denounced the cartoon on the floor of the General Assembly, drawing a bipartisan standing ovation when he denounced it as “s—.”  State Rep. Christian Mitchell, D-Chicago, called it a “Sambo” cartoon.  State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, agreed, tweeting “Cartoons don’t make racism any more palatable @illinoispolicy should delete their cartoon and apologize. That has no place in policy debate.” The response from Rauner’s office on Tuesday did not go over well with Mitchell. “Wait what? So being a white male removes @GovRauner from a position of moral leadership? This is more disgraceful than saying nothing,” Mitchell tweeted. The Illinois Policy Institute defended the cartoon, which was intended to depict how Chicago siphons money from education with TIF funds. The think tank denied that it was racist, but removed it from its website, saying it was distracting from the debate over education funding and “the failure of political leaders to address the root cause of our struggling education system.” The think tank has been aligned with the governor, and Rauner has tapped its staff to replace senior members of his own administration since his budget veto was overridden earlier this year. Even after the institute removed the cartoon, NBC5 Political Reporter Mary Ann Ahern kept the issue alive on Twitter, repeatedly questioning whether the governor had seen the cartoon and what his reaction was. Patrick finally responded Tuesday. “Charges of racism must be taken very seriously,” she said. “The tragedy in Charlottesville and its aftermath serve as sobering reminders that even today, some remain who would use violence and hate to divide us. We must never relent in working toward a future built not on what divides us, but what unites us.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill Aug. 14 that empowers counties across Illinois to dissolve layers of unnecessary government. Wouldn’t you know it? One suburban government already laid plans to twist through a loophole and preserve itself. Taxpayers, you might want to pay attention to this heist, which McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a Democrat, attributes to one-party rule. No, not Democratic rule in Cook County. Franks indicts Republican Party dominance in McHenry County.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner facing pressure from Downstate Republicans to veto ‘very reasonable’ immigration bill – Monique Garcia and Kim Geiger  (DIERSEN: It certainly seems like Rauner’s advisors are saying to him that he has to dump the “conservative wing” of the Illinois Republican Party and pander to Libertarians to win in 2018. Libertarians want open borders, pot, and prostitution. It certainly seems like his advisors are saying to him that the more that he dumps on conservatives, that is, on Republicans, that is, on Trump supporters, the more votes that he will get in 2018 from voters who are Libertarian, anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors. But the aforesaid are going to vote for the Democrat gubernatorial candidate no matter what Rauner or Trump do.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-trust-act-met-20170819-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the governor also has faced intense lobbying in opposition from Republican Party’s conservative wing. . .The issue could figure into Rauner’s 2018 re-election bid, as the governor will need the support of Downstate voters, some of whom want to see immigration policy that cracks down on those who are in the country illegally. State Sen. Kyle McCarter, a Republican from Lebanon outside St. Louis, said that if Rauner does not veto the bill “this could be the last straw” for Downstate voters who have backed the governor. “There was a reason the president won so big in Downstate Illinois, this is one of those issues that we stood with the president on,” McCarter said. “I understand it’s a difficult decision for the governor to make, but he’s going to have to decide if this should be the priority, or meeting the basic needs of the legal citizens of Illinois.” McCarter said he has reached out to the governor’s chief of staff to encourage Rauner to veto the bill. “I think I can speak for downstate Illinois and most Trump supporters, this isn’t the direction that I want the country to go or the state to go,” he said. “We are a country founded by immigrants, but those were legal immigrants, and I think the last thing Illinois wants is to see a sanctuary state, and this moves us in that direction.” There are also concerns that the legislation could put Illinois crosswise with the federal government and in the crosshairs of the Trump administration’s attempted crack down on sanctuary cities. Also critical of the bill is Rep. John Cabello, a Republican of Mexican heritage who is a Rockford police detective and also co-chair of the Illinois Trump Victory fund. Cabello said the measure puts police in the position of choosing whether to uphold federal law or state law. “We can’t cherry pick which laws we are going to enforce, it doesn’t matter if this bill is signed into law or not, law enforcement will do what we have to do,” he said. “I think this bill is symbolic, no law enforcement officer is going to follow this bill.” The bill passed with mostly Democratic support. In the Senate, five Republicans voted for the Trust Act. In the House, only one Republican voted for the bill. Supporters of the legislation argue that it will help build trust between police and the immigrant community, and will give immigrants confidence that they can come forward to help police solve crimes without having to worry about being punished because of their immigration status. Cabello disputed that notion. “If people can’t trust law enforcement without this bill, they are not going to trust law enforcement with this bill,” he said.)

— This tax reform idea could cost you–a lot – DENNIS RODKIN
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/realestate/20170810/CRED0701/170819998
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With federal tax reform on Congress’s agenda after its August recess, two ideas that have been circulating have the potential to hit Chicago-area homeowners, one of them much harder than the other. Two federal tax deductions—one for mortgage interest and the other for state and local taxes—are in the crosshairs of reformers. The mortgage interest deduction would likely be revised, not eliminated, because it’s a hallowed perk of homeownership, most reports say. But the loss of the state and local tax deduction would cut deeper in the Chicago region anyway, analysts in the real estate, mortgage and tax realms told Crain’s this week. Eliminating the state and local tax deduction could transfer almost $2.9 billion a year out of household wealth and into federal coffers, according to Brian Bernardoni, senior director of government affairs and public policy for the Chicago Association of Realtors. That is, unless that larger tax reform package includes adjustments to the general tax rate that offset this amount.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— KORECKI: TWITTER FIGHT ALERT — Rauner’s new Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Michael Lucci, got into a bit of a Twitter tiff on Wednesday with Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller. The war? Seemed to start when Miller corrected Lucci, who was in an exchange over the school funding bill. It then morphed into whether Miller deleted Lucci’s written remarks in the comments section on Miller’s popular Capitol Fax blog. Rich Miller: “I never admitted that or anything close to that. Please, seek help.” Michael Lucci: “Do you want me to start posting comments you deleted? Like when I caught you supporting a policy that was born of racism?” Miller responds: “Are they in the same box as your first tooth?”  (DIERSEN: What do you say to Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINO activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. who pander to Rich Miller, but who fail/refuse to keep

https://onenewsnow.com/politics-govt/2017/08/09/gop-governor-welcomes-barack-obama-day
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An Illinois-based pro-family activist says he’s appalled that the state’s Republican governor signed legislation designating “Barack Obama Day.”  Gov. Bruce Rauner made it official, signing Senate Bill 55 which means beginning in 2018 Illinois will recognize August 4 as “Barack Obama Day.” Rauner says it won’t be a formal state holiday with paid time off but it will be a day of acknowledgment and celebration. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth says Rauner is the perfect example of a “Rhino Republican.” “A Republican governor heaping praise on the most immoral promoting president in American history, Barack Obama,” LaBarbera complains, “who ushered in homosexual so-called marriage, who mocked the authority of the Bible, who promoted abortion, who loves Planned Parenthood. With Republicans like that, who needs Democrats?” The argument from liberals that there is a similar holiday honoring President Ronald Reagan is a ridiculous comparison, he also insists. “To compare the two is an insult to Ronald Reagan,” LaBarbera insists. “Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest presidents we ever had.” Reagan led the West in a fight to crush Communism, LaBarbera recalls, while Obama “sucked up” to Cuba’s dictators. It’s insulting, he says, to put Obama in the same category.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/opinion/government-defamation-white-house-slander.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Imagine that a senior government official takes to Twitter, makes a call to a national news outlet or goes on national television to disparage you. Imagine that he tells lies about you to a national audience, lies harmful to your professional or personal future. What could you do to remedy the situation? You might seek a retraction. Perhaps you would go to colleagues and friends to privately plead your side of the case. Or if you were lucky enough to have a national platform of your own, maybe you would try to correct the defamatory statement in public. But one thing you couldn’t do is sue. No judicial remedy exists when a federal official defames someone. This gap in the law isn’t a result of a conscious decision by Congress or federal judges to protect the government’s ability to defame you. It was created inadvertently. In an age when the political lie is being weaponized to increasing effect, it’s an oversight Congress should redress.)

— Why this Google firing alarms conservatives – Erick Erickson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-google-sexist-employee-fired-20170809-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many in the left-leaning tech press were so outraged Damore would differ from their views they could not even fairly assess his views. He has been treated as a sexist, racist outcast who is anti-diversity. His views were mischaracterized or characterized in the worst possible light to dismiss him and his ideas. By daring to think differently, even by relying on studies and using defined words in the sociological and psychological lexicon, Damore was painted as an anti-diversity bigot. No matter how Damore had phrased his memo, it seems he would have offended someone and been fired. The only way to avoid it would be to keep his mouth shut and embrace the groupthink. Therein lies the problem for Google. Despite what Brown may have said about diversity of ideas at Google, it is clear no one can actually have diverse ideas at Google. Doing so might lead to offense and offense must lead to job termination. It creates a situation where one’s views, no matter how reasonable or how commonly shared they are, can be out of bounds if they differ with prevailing groupthink. Conservatives have every reason to be worried by Google’s actions. Google has become the default search engine for the world. It does not take a rocket scientist to know how easy it would be for Google to change its search algorithms to devalue what its employees believe is wrongthink. With Google in a near monopoly position for web searches, it has the ability to alienate conservative thought, Christian values and others to internet silos and ghettos that most would be unable to find. The most troubling part is that much of the political left would be okay with silencing because they see censorship of ideas they hate as a positive thing for the world. Many of the left seek to win culture wars not on the merits of arguments and ideas, but simply by punishing and silencing any who disagree.)

The down payments came from an insurance settlement for my stolen 1969 Dodge Charger SE and money that I had saved working for Firestone Stores and for IRS. My wife and I borrowed to buy 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton in 1978 and to have 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton in 1984.

NBC5
— Airbnb Removes Accounts Ahead of Far-Right Rally in Va.  The far-right rally, set for Saturday in Charlottesville, Va., is shaping up to be the “the largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades,” according to Southern Poverty Law Center – Shannon Ho  (DIERSEN: From what I see, if you do not demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites as being racists, anti-Trumps will not only punish you, they will get rid of you.)
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/business/Airbnb-Bans-Accounts-Far-Right-Rally-439270193.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Airbnb has deleted accounts and canceled bookings of users who appear to be connected to “Unite the Right,” a far-right political rally set for Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia. Neo-Nazi and white supremacist website The Daily Stormer had organized a series of large rally-weekend gatherings through the home-sharing site, Airbnb told NBC News. Concerned Airbnb users flagged the thread, leading the company to investigate potential violations of its user contract, which calls for unbiased hospitality. Airbnb said they decided to remove the far-right lodgers because they were “pursuing behavior on the platform that would be antithetical to the Airbnb Community Commitment.” Jason Kessler, organizer of the “Unite the Right” rally and self-described “pro-white” activist, said Airbnb’s blocking of certain users is “outrageous and should be grounds for a lawsuit.” Clay Hansen, the executive director of the nonpartisan Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression in Charlottesville, said Airbnb’s choice to terminate accounts does not violate the First Amendment. “I would say that while Airbnb’s actions wouldn’t necessarily comport with general free speech principles, they are a private company and are entitled to enact and enforce their terms of service as they see fit,” Hansen told NBC News. The rally, scheduled to take place Saturday in Charlottesville, is shaping up to be the “the largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. As of Tuesday, Aug. 8, almost 700 people said they would be attending, and another 1,200 showed interest in the event on its Facebook link. The rally aims to “to affirm the right of Southerners and white people to organize for their interests.” “It’s the racial targeting of white people for their ethnic advocacy,” Kessler wrote in an email to NBC. “Would Airbnb cancel the service of black nationalists or Black Lives Matter activists for their social media activity? Of course not!” White supremacists gathered in Charlottesville in May to protest the removal of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s statue. They chanted “All White Lives Matter” while carrying torches. Klu Klux Klan members also protested there in July for the same cause. The statue has not yet been taken down, but Charlottesville has gained the reputation for hosting white nationalism rallies.)

CHICAGO READER

https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/illinois-governor-bruce-rauner-school-funding-public-schools-cps-sb1/Content?oid=28847865
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  It was like Groundhog Day for public education recently, as about 40 or so Chicago parents, students, and activists did pretty much the exact same thing they did at about this time a year ago: headed north to Illinois governor Bruce Rauner’s house to protest his school funding policies. That’s Rauner’s residence in Winnetka, as opposed to his ranch in Montana, or his condo overlooking Millennium Park, or any of the other homes he owns throughout the country. Obviously last year’s protests fell on deaf ears, because this year’s school funding inequities may even be worse last year’s.)

I should write a book about those in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on causing me stress.  They are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors and/or they a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— OPM Just Made It Harder To Drain The Swamp – Alex Nowrasteh (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government hinted that they took adverse actions against me because my performance was poor. That is why they were furious when 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.)
http://www.govexec.com/excellence/management-matters/2017/08/opm-just-made-it-harder-drain-swamp/140068/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump took office with a promise to drain the swamp, but the federal agency that manages the government’s two million civilian employees is making it harder to do that. Under a new policy, the Office of Personnel Management recently stopped reporting data on employees terminated for wrongdoing or poor performance. This information is critical because the data inform the public about incompetent and, in some cases, corrupt government employees. Without it, systematic government wrongdoing and poor performance may go unnoticed and unreformed. The data provide information on separations, which, in bureaucratic language, is when a federal employee stops working for the government. OPM assigns a cause to each separation, choosing from a list of 12 different categories—such as death or a transfer­—and releases these details annually, along with information on  employees’ age, rank, pay, and other characteristics. That’s where the latest policy change comes into effect. A termination for discipline or poor performance is coded as “SI, Termination or Removal (Discipline/Performance).” But that information was not included in OPM’s 2016 separations data. Every other separations category, in alphabetical order from “SA, Transfer Out” to “SL, Other Separation,” was retained in the 2016 dataset.)

They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The national political landscape is leaning more toward “tribalism rather than Americanism.”  “You now see yourself as a Republican or a Democrat or an independent, in some cases I think, before people see themselves as Americans.”)

— ILLINOIS CONSERVATIVES TO GATHER AUGUST 18TH & 19TH IN ELMHURST  (DIERSEN: TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois was a conservative organization, but anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in destroying it in 2012. Illinois Center Right Coalition was a conservative organization, but anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes succeeded in constructively destroying it in 2007. GOPUSA ILLINOIS has promoted conservative principles since 2000. Anti-conservatives, their operatives, and their dupes have not yet succeeded in destroying GOPUSA ILLINOIS. Ever-increasingly individuals and organizations that say that they are conservative, talk and act like they are Libertatian. There are tremendous conflicts between liberterarian principles and conservative princples. Conservatives ask me to help plan and participate in conservative events, but Libertarians do not.  Conservative events focus on defending and advancing planks in the Republican Party platform including its traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Conservative events focus on discouraging vices including booze, gambling, and pot.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/illinois-conservatives-to-gather-august-18th-19th-in-elmhurst.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois conservatives are plentiful, but they’re just not well-organized, and the Leftist media so rarely includes conservative perspectives that many are misled to believe conservatives are extinct in the Land of Lincoln. But conservatives are really not that rare in Illinois, they just need to know who each other are and meet up to encourage one another, says Carol Davis – the co-founder of West Suburban Patriots. That’s why she and Janet Shaw started the ball rolling on a long overdue gathering of Illinois conservatives. The event, “Strategy 2017: From Outrage to Action,” will be held August 18 and 19th at the Diplomat West Banquet Hall in Elmhurst, IL. The forum starts Friday afternoon with American Majority doing Candidate/Campaign Team Training. Matt Batzel, the trainer American Majority is providing, led the movement in Wisconsin when Scott Walker was under attack during the recall effort. The training will be followed Friday evening by a Meet & Greet. Saturday morning, Catherine Engelbrecht from True the Vote will speak, with several election integrity sessions to follow. Saturday’s luncheon speaker will be former Kansas 1st District U.S. Congressman Dr. Tim Huelskamp, now the new President of The Heartland Institute. The afternoon sessions will be social media training and a session entitled “Lightning Round: SOLUTIONS” will feature short, fast-paced presentations from organizations with REAL solutions conservatives to learn and support. Dinner will be sponsored by FreedomWorks, with keynote speaker C.L. Bryant. He is a reverend and a black conservative activist with the TEA Party since the beginning.)

 

CAPITOL FAX
— RICH MILLER: Sen. Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst) told me earlier that the Sun-Times story above doesn’t make any sense, so I asked him to send me a quick statement… “It stuns me that people would say Ms. Rasmussen is attempting to ‘indoctrinate’ Republican legislators. Just the opposite. In my meetings with her, I feel she does more listening than talking, and her focus has mostly been on operational (not ideological) issues. In fact, I’ve rarely been so impressed in such a short timeframe with what has been said and how it has been said. She’s a clear, concise, and capable communicator.”

— VA whistleblower gets job in Trump’s new accountability office – NIKKI WENTLING  (DIERSEN: When will Trump put me charge of GAO? Just kidding. I blew the whistle on patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation at GAO. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
https://www.stripes.com/news/va-whistleblower-gets-job-in-trump-s-new-accountability-office-1.481509#.WYS7DhFSRZI
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two years ago, Brandon Coleman was placed on paid leave from his job with the Department of Veterans Affairs as an addiction therapist after he reported poor care for mental-health patients at the Phoenix VA hospital — the epicenter of the agency’s wait-time scandal. After reporting his concerns, managers opened internal investigations into Coleman and accused him of misconduct, he said. Coleman claimed it was retaliation and he spent 18 months on leave while settling the dispute with the VA. Now, Coleman, 42, is about to take a new position with the VA in which he can influence how whistleblowers are treated within the agency. He’s been assigned to VA headquarters to work on behalf of whistleblowers who still face deterrents to speak out, like he did. Coleman reports to Washington, D.C. in mid-August, where he’ll be part of the new VA Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection, which is led by Navy and Air Force veteran Peter O’Rourke. The office was established with the intention of making VA officials more aggressive in finding and removing bad workers and protecting the whistleblowers who help them do it.)

— The Illinois Pension Scam: State Officials (Including Conservatives) Have Known About it for Many Years – John Biver
https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/illinois-pension-scam-state-officials-including-conservatives-known-many-years/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Leslie Heffez’s current annual pension is $581,227. Leslie paid in $768,611, and can expect to get out $21,945,104 in lifetime benefits based upon life expectancy averages. Das Gupta’s current annual pension is $494,773. It took only one year for Das to recoup everything he paid into the system, which was $475,331. He could receive $5,290,301 before the grim reaper comes calling. Herand Acarian gets $392,682 every year. Not bad for having paid in only $628,987, and with a good long life, Herand could get back $6,843,239 or more. Eddie Williams wins the $200k column, bringing in six times the annual average Illinois household income (which is approximately $50k) at $299,991. Eddie coughed up a whole $277,792 to invest into the system, and has already received $842,452 in benefits.  (Please read those numbers again.) If he stays healthy, he could cash in for as much as $5,527,649 over his lifetime. After flipping through over four full pages of pensions exceeding $200,000, Rick Taylor tops off the $100-k’ers at an annual pension of $199,909. For the record, Ricky paid in $229,400, has already received $1,162,854 (he retired at age 56), and life expectancy charts could gift him $7,267,441 or more if he eats right and gets enough exercise.)

I went on vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977.  My wife and I went on many vacations, typically four each year, 1978-1992 in connection with her business trips to luxury resorts all across America. Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious about that.)

NEW REPUBLIC
— This Is the Wrong Way to Fight Inequality – RACHEL M. COHEN  (DIERSEN: Democrats fight inequality by screwing Republicans. What would your superiors say that they did to fight inequality?  My Democrat GAO superiors would stress that they forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.  My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

— How much do public servants get paid in Kankakee County?  (DIERSEN: When did you first start earning more that $100,000/year in today’s dollars?  In 1988, when I was 40 years old, GAO paid me $100,917 (GS-13 Step 3) in today’s dollars. I had worked for GAO for almost 9 years. Before that, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981.  I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.  I had earned a master degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

I commuted to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete 1966-1968. I came home weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969 to work at the Park Forest Post Office. I worked full-time at the Park Forest Post Office during the summer of 1969 like I had done the summers of 1967 and 1968.  My Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign at end of the summer of 1969. My father died suddenly in October 1969.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Excess At the Top  The CEO Pay Machine – Philip Delves Broughton  (DIERSEN: Trump’s lousy $400,000 salary is only 3.25 times what my $122,991 GS-13 Step 10 pay is in today’s dollars.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-better-way-to-reward-ceos-1501542185
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1978 the average chief executive at a large company was paid 26 times more than the average worker. By 2014, depending on your method of calculation, he was paid 300 to 700 times more. It has become standard for a CEO to make more than $10 million a year, and a few make more than $100 million. These aren’t founders or major shareholders but hired guns, managers playing with house money. It is not like this everywhere. In the U.K., the fifth largest economy in the world, the pay ratio of CEO to average worker is 84 to 1. In Japan, the third largest, it’s 16 to 1.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Millennials want their dream home now – not in 20 years – Angus Raine  (DIERSEN: Where are you on the “property ladder?” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been are filled with envy.  They are furious a) that I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 in 1972, that I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago when I was 25, and that I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago when I was 27 and b) that my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton when I was 29 and that we had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton when I was 35.)
http://moneymag.com.au/millennials-dream-home/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I bought my first home in the late 1980s, I didn’t care that it was ramshackle, I just wanted to get my foot on the property ladder. Now you hardly ever hear the term ‘property ladder’, and millennials want their dream family home now – not in 20 years. But that’s how long it took me to progress through a series of houses until I bought my current family home. I’m calling for a cultural shift: we need to return to viewing property ownership as a long-term, gradual strategy. So, if you’re a first-home buyer, just how do you climb the property ladder? First, you might need to rethink your expectations of a first home. Buying in the best location you can afford is more important than getting the perfect home immediately. And while many people think that the next logical step is to buy a bigger house, you are better off moving to progressively better locations. That will build value faster than graduating to bigger homes in the same suburb and will take you to the next rung on your journey up the property ladder.)
