DAILY CALLER
— CONSERVATIVES DONATE TO NEW PRO-TRUMP FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVE – Ron Johnson  (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat website.)
https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/09/conservatives-donate-to-new-pro-trump-facebook-alternative/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The creators of TrumpTown.com — a new Facebook alternative for conservatives — have launched an emergency initiative through GoFundMe to help fund their fight against the extreme censorship of mainstream social networks like Facebook and Twitter. While TrumpTown.com’s soft launch in November was a roaring success, just like any other internet start-up, securing funding to help maintain the site and more importantly, aid its growth, became a top priority according to the site’s founder, Addison Riddleberger. “Facebook, Twitter, and Google have sold their souls to the liberal left and will fight to put Democrats in power — even if that means censoring conservatives and purging them from their social networks,” Riddleberger stated. “The revolution isn’t in the streets, it’s on the internet — we’re finally fighting back and we need your support today.” He explained that Silicon Valley, angel investors, and venture capital groups are either afraid or opposed to this upcoming “social media revolution.” Because of the corporate opposition, they’ve launched an exclusive GoFundMe that will allow Americans fed-up with Facebook, Twitter, and Google to assist in funding development and exponential growth of TrumpTown.com. “Facebook and Twitter are under heavy fire for what they’ve done to their conservative users. Individuals are mad and rightfully so. We have an extremely rare and unique window of opportunity to turn the tables and give conservatives a place to express their ideas without fear of being censored and de-platformed like I was,” Riddleberger stated. Riddleberger and his small team launched TrumpTown after Facebook purged his political pages that had over 2.5 million conservative followers and cost him north of $50,000 to build over the course of several years. Even worse, the banning came just 24 hours before the 2018 mid-term elections with no explanation from Facebook whatsoever. “Unless we act right now, the kind of censorship and blacklisting that I experienced will eventually happen to every conservative publisher on social media, which will have serious ramifications for future elections. Facebook and Twitter’s war against the right is happening right this moment, and unless we do something, it’ll get even worse,” he stated.)

— Will 2019 Be The Year of the Millennial Homebuyer? – Maryalene LaPonsie (DIERSEN: To display a “Hate Has No Home Here” sign is to shout that you are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. The more “Hate Has No Home Here” signs that are displayed in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois, the fewer who will buy homes there who are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

CONSERVATIVE HQ
— Senator Lindsey Graham Makes A Great Point
http://www.conservativehq.com/article/29430-senator-lindsey-graham-makes-great-point
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Graham warned that the ongoing partial federal government shutdown over border wall funding cannot end as long as the “radical left” insists on reflexively calling Republicans racist for supporting immigration officials. Democrats who want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deride Border Patrol agents for using tear gas hold too much power in the ongoing shutdown negotiations, Graham said. “We’re having to negotiate with people who want to abolish ICE, not support ICE,” Graham said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday. “We’re having to negotiate with people who see border patrol agents gassing children, rather than defending our borders as professional law enforcement officers.” He continued: “And we’re negotiating with people who will accuse all of us who support a wall as part of border security as racists. As long as the radical left is in charge, we’re not going to get anywhere. … The goal is to fix a broken immigration system, to bring reality to this table.” Sen. Graham is right but fixing our broken immigration system or safeguarding the border is the last thing the Democrats are interested in now that Donald Trump is President.)

FOX BUSINESS
— Will Your Job Drive You Into Early Retirement? – Motley Fool (DIERSEN: I should write a book about early retirement, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/will-your-job-drive-you-into-early-retirement

(FROM THE ARTICLE: At some point during your career, you’re apt to reach a point where the notion of retirement becomes less of a dream and more of a reality. So, you might start planning to retire at a certain age, and that, in turn, might dictate the extent to which you save year after year until that point. But what happens when changes at your company or job compel you to retire early? It’s not a highly unlikely scenario. An estimated 56% of today’s retirees left the workforce sooner than planned, according to recent data from Transamerica, and among that 56%, 54% cited job-related reasons. Specifically, 24% reported having lost their jobs, while 22% said that organizational changes within their companies caused them to leave unexpectedly. And let’s not forget the 15% of seniors who retired sooner than expected due to unhappiness with their jobs. Seeing as how just 40% of the overall workforce is content at present, that’s not a shocking statistic. All of this leads to one key point: While you might plan on retiring at a certain age, circumstances at your place of work might result in a scenario where you’re leaving your career behind earlier than expected. And if you don’t plan for that possibility, you’ll inevitably put your retirement at risk. Many folks aim to retire at some point in their 60s, once Social Security eligibility begins and Medicare follows suit. But if things go sour at your job, you might find yourself out of work and unable or unwilling to start over much earlier in life. Remember, the older you are, the more challenging it can be to find work, since age discrimination has a tendency to rear its ugly head. Therefore, if you’re planning to do a bunch of nest egg padding during your 60s, you might want to ramp up sooner.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A cohesive, practical approach to driving diversity is a desperately needed step forward: Despite ongoing efforts, diversity lags in the accounting and finance world. A 2017 data analysis from the Financial Services Pipeline Initiative shows diversity trending in the wrong direction: Promotion rates for African-American and Latino talent became consistently lower from 2014 to 2017. In fact, the Financial Accounting Foundation will tell you that 75 percent of professional accounting positions, and a staggering 90 percent of partner positions, are still held by non-minorities — and the numbers are nearly as bleak for women when looking at gender disparities alone.)

What Pelosi has is experience. According to Wikipedia, “A two-time House Speaker, Pelosi previously served in the post from 2007 to 2011. She is currently in her 17th term as a member of the House of Representatives, first being elected in a 1987 special election. Pelosi is also a two-time House Minority Leader, serving from 2003 to 2007 and again from 2011 to 2019. Between her alternating stints as Minority Leader and Speaker (depending on which party had the majority), Pelosi has been the leader of the House Democrats since 2003.”)

— Numbers: Congress is 88 percent Christian – Jennifer Harper
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/3/a-new-pew-research-center-analysis-reveals-that-88/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new Pew Research Center analysis reveals that 88 percent of the members of the 116th Congress are Christian. This finding prompted the pollster to declare that “Christians are overrepresented in Congress.” But let us examine the numbers. Of that 88 percent, 55 percent of the lawmakers are Protestant, 30 percent Catholic, 13 percent Baptist, 8 percent Methodist, and 5 percent each say they are Episcopalian, Presbyterian or Lutheran. . .“In the 116th Congress, just two of the 253 GOP members do not identify as Christian: Reps. Lee Zeldin of New York and David Kustoff of Tennessee are Jewish,” the analysis says. “By contrast, 61 of the 281 Democrats do not identify as Christian. More than half of the 61 are Jewish (32), and 18 decline to specify a religious affiliation. Congressional Democrats also include Hindus (3), Muslims (3), Buddhists (2), Unitarian Universalists (2) and one religiously unaffiliated member.”)

— What Is and Isn’t Affected by the Government Shutdown – Niraj Chokshi and Christina Caron
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/us/whats-affected-government-shutdown.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The I.R.S. Under the shutdown, most Internal Revenue Service operations have stopped. According to a contingency plan covering the final weeks of December, about seven in eight of the agency’s nearly 80,000 employees have been sent home. That plan does not make clear, though, what the I.R.S. will do as the shutdown extends into January. (Tax filing season has not yet begun, but the agency will no doubt face plenty of questions from filers over the recent tax law changes.) [President Trump and Democrats could not break an impasse over his request of funding for a border wall.] The agency, which did not respond to a request for comment, may bring in more workers to prepare for tax season, but it generally does not answer taxpayer questions or pay tax refunds during a shutdown, according to The Wall Street Journal. If the shutdown ends within a few weeks, it is unlikely to seriously affect most taxpayers.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2019/01/03/frightening-predictions-for-the-job-market-in-2019/#68980c3374ad
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination will become rampant. It is one of the few areas where prejudices are overlooked and condoned. It is not necessarily because companies don’t like older workers; it’s that they have more experience, so they earn more money compared to younger colleagues, their insurance costs are presumed higher and they’re not as easily manipulated as younger employees with mountains of debt to pay off. It will be convenient for management to target experienced and well-paid personnel with specious claims about their work product, in an effort to bully them into leaving.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alyyale/2019/01/01/hud-housing-realities-female-led-and-feeling-the-burn/#687891036aac
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rising rents and increasing mortgage rates are squeezing housing affordability for everyone. But for residents of HUD-subsidized housing? Housing has never been more expensive. According to a new analysis from Porch.com, HUD residents are putting a whopping 29% of their income toward housing — up from 27.9% in 2009. Monthly, that equates to about $315 in contributions per resident. Compared to the national average rent (which was over $1,400, as of December), it might seem a small number, but HUD residents make just a fraction of the average American’s income. Nationally, the median HUD household makes just $12,906 per year. The average household makes nearly five times that — $61,372.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes look down on, if not despise, if not hate the working class. I was a member of the working class 1962-1997. 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.)

KANKAKEE DAILY JOURNAL
— Bias in the newspaper? – David Giuliani (DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS is biased in favor of the Illinois Republican Party platform, the Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. That is why those who reject all or part of the aforesaid work so hard a) to stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading the emails.)
https://www.daily-journal.com/news/local/david-giuliani-bias-in-the-newspaper/article_e2fddaf2-09f8-11e9-8381-5b0b3998bc1c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Earlier this week, a reader noted we run stories from the Illinois News Network. He accused the group of having a conservative bias. What is the Illinois News Network? It started a few years ago as an arm of the Chicago-based Illinois Policy Institute, which bills itself as libertarian and often is referred to as conservative. Last January, the institute revealed that it had transferred the network to the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity, another Chicago-based group. Some of Franklin’s executives are connected to conservative organizations. According to a January story in Crain’s Chicago Business, the conservative Koch brothers gave millions to the center, but is no longer funding the group. I looked through some of the recent stories on the network’s website. They seemed balanced to me. A story about abortion included both sides. Same with one about marijuana legalization. At the same time, the network runs stories about subjects that might be particularly appealing to conservatives. One such recent example is a story about work rules for food stamp recipients. That piece, though, included both sides of the debate. In an email to me, Dan McCaleb, editor of the network, noted it is a 501c3 nonprofit and therefore, by definition, cannot be political or partisan. “INN distinguishes itself by focusing on state issues that are most relevant to taxpayers, and making sure the taxpayers’ side of the story is represented, as well as government’s,” said McCaleb, a former editor for suburban McHenry County’s Northwest Herald. “INN strives to fill a gap in statehouse coverage because many media companies do not have the resources to cover the capitol, and those that do often do not include the taxpayers’ perspective in their reporting.”)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Trump’s Executive Order Freezing Federal Pay Saves Taxpayers from Extraordinary Pay Increases – Rachel Greszler (DIERSEN: The Daily Signal should write an article about reasons why people do not want to work for the federal government. The Daily Signal could focus on how the Democrats who run the federal government use the subjectivity in its employment policies a) to hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) to get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/12/29/trumps-executive-order-freezing-federal-pay-saves-taxpayers-from-extraordinary-pay-increases/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal pay should depend on workers’ skills, experience, and performance—not just their years of service and across-the-board annual pay increases. Ideally, Congress should address federal employee pay and compensation through a broad reform package—addressing not only federal pay, but total compensation also including retirement, health, vacation, and other benefits—that would better align federal compensation with that of the private sector and better tie pay to performance.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Get involved with what’s close to your heart. Charities and nonprofit organizations are often looking for volunteers. Visit places that line up with your values or are related to the line of work you were in. If you spent decades in health care, you might find fulfillment donating several hours each week at a children’s hospital. If you had leadership roles, ask about local boards looking to add new members. You could find satisfaction helping others, and you probably won’t be spending money while you are volunteering. . .Take on tasks you enjoy.)
