— The bumpy road to adulthood for 20-somethings and 30-somethings – Robert Samuelson  (DIERSEN: When were you 18-34?  For me it was 1966-1982.  Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that if I was 34 today, I never would have been able to do the following before I was 34: a) become a licensed CPA, b) pass the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt, c) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt, d) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, an MBA from Loyola, or a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, e) get married, f) buy real estate, g) buy new cars, h) have jobs that paid me enough to do the aforesaid, i) etc.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-samuelson-millennials-jobs-adulthood-perspec-0427-jm-20170426-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Growing up isn’t what it used to be. There’s a yawning gap between the end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood: a period when millions of 20-somethings and 30-somethings have many adult freedoms without all the responsibilities. Social scientists have tried — so far in vain — to name this new life-stage, but no one should question its significance. If you have doubts, a new U.S. Census Bureau study should resolve them. It compares the experiences of Americans 18 to 34 now with the same age group in the 1970s. There has been a sea change. “In prior generations, young adults were expected to have finished school, found a job, and set up their own household during their 20s — most often with their spouse and with a child soon to follow,” says the report. No more. . .The transition has been hard on some men. In 1975, only about a quarter of men 25 to 34 had incomes less than $30,000 a year. By 2016, that had risen to 41 percent. (Incomes were adjusted for inflation.) Meanwhile, millions of young women have entered the labor force, and though their median wage remains below men’s, it has increased faster than men’s.)

 

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “The men of Fox News need to take a stand.”  During the 1980s and 1990s, extremely few GAO employees “took a stand” against patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination.  Instead, to keep their job and/or to get promotions, they helped GAO waste the careers of and get rid of its employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.

FOX NEWS CHICAGO
— Illinois lawmakers gather to discuss legalizing pot – Mike Flannery  (DIERSEN: Those who oppose legalization who attended the hearing included Peter Bensinger, Kathy Gilroy, Judy Kreamer, Ralph Rivera, Thomas Weitzel, and myself. The only legitimate reason to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is to get information a) to help defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and b) to help elect and reelect Republican candidates. If you promote pot, you should not claim to be religious, conservative, or Republican; you should immediately resign from any government or political office that you hold as a Republican and declare yourself to be a Democrat, a Libertarian, or Green. If you promote pot, feel free to unsubscribe to this email. If you are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, please speak out against legalizing pot. Further, please join me in encouraging the 18 members of the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP in opposition to legalizing pot for recreational use in Illinois, SB 316 and HB 2353, and especially the 12 members of its Judicial & Public Safety Committee: Grant Eckhoff, Chair, Robert L. Larsen, Vice Chair, John Curran, Peter DiCianni, Amy L. Grant, Gary Grasso, James D. Healy, Tonia Khouri, Sean T. Noonan, Donald E. Puchalski, Sam Tornatore, and James F. Zay.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/249609492-story
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Legalization has a downside. Colorado’s now Number One in per capita pot consumption, with side effects like a 48 percent increase in fatal traffic accidents. A former Drug Enforcement Administrator predicted legalization here would cause 75 additional marijuana-related highway deaths each year. “Terrible idea! It’s a disaster waiting to happen in Illinois. It’s gonna increase damage to youth. It’s gonna increase highway accidents and fatalities,” said Peter Bensinger, former director of the DEA.)

USA TODAY
— What happens if you smoke marijuana every day? – Sean Rossman
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/04/20/what-happens-when-you-smoke-marijuana-every-day/100668404/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s what experts say happens when you smoke weed every day: Dr. Stuart Gitlow, a professor at the University of Florida and a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, said marijuana is much stronger than it was years ago, giving a more psychedelic feel rather than a mild sense of intoxication. A small percentage, he said, could have hallucinations and paranoia. However, the vast majority, he said, experience that mild high, which fades after several hours. After days of use, the pot becomes stored in the body’s fatty tissue and THC is gradually released into the bloodstream, meaning a person can experience the effect of the drug around the clock. Daily use, he said, promotes a chronic loss of attention, focus and concentration. Daily users perform at a lower level at jobs and at school. Focus and motivation also decrease, he said. Caron Treatment Center Medical Director Dr. Joseph Garbely said about 15% of cannabis users develop an addiction. Daily users, he said, suffer memory, coordination, and problem-solving issues. For some, it could change the way a brain matures. Smokers who start young, he said, are more susceptible to being a daily user or becoming addicted. . .Other factors need to be considered such as their dosage and the reason a person is using the drug. However, he said marijuana can have impact on how people perform at their job or at school. Withdrawal can occur after a period of long-term repeated use.)

Bilandic Building, 160 North LaSalle Street, Chicago. Please phone me at 630-653-0462 if you have any questions.)
https://illinoisfamily.org/uncategorized/lawmakers-want-put-pot-shops-neighborhood/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago) and Illinois State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) believe that legalizing marijuana for recreational use will be good for Illinois so they have introduced SB 316 and HB 2353 and, as part of the public relations push, formed the Coalition for a Safer Illinois. Yes, Safer. It’s hard to imagine how adding more drugged drivers on the roads and putting more drugs into the hands of our children could possibly make Illinois safer. The bills before the General Assembly would legalize the possession of up to 28 grams of marijuana and allow facilities to sell marijuana products for adults over 21 and tax and regulate those sales “in a manner similar to alcohol.” “Safer?”  Hardly.  We just have to look to the examples of Colorado and Washington State to see the consequences.  Both states legalized marijuana for recreational use in 2013 and 2012 respectively. Colorado now has more pot shops than Starbucks and McDonald’s combined. . .You, too, can help! Call your state representative today and urge him/her to oppose any attempts to legalize or decriminalize marijuana. CLICK HERE. Your rep will be listed as the last entry on the page, once you fill in your zip code and address. Simply click on his/her name. You may also want to fill out an opposition slip to this bill. The proponents are. A hearing is being held (AT NOON) on Wednesday, April 19th, 2017. It’s easy if you follow these steps.)

http://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/nation-now/2017/04/17/liberals-went-off-deep-end-immigration-column/100548156/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is hard to have the same feelings, though, toward the 40% of undocumented immigrants who came here on a plane, willfully overstayed their tourist visas, then hunkered down and waited for the next round of legalization. And I have some animus toward our dysfunctional immigration system that punishes (by deportation) undocumented immigrants but completely lets off the hook their partners-in-law-breaking, the businesses and individuals that have used their cheap labor over the years. Fact is, if E-verify had been strictly enforced all these years, Trump’s proposed wall would have been rendered unnecessary.)

http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/illinois-playbook/2017/04/politico-illinois-playbook-rauners-data-mining-219823
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new expense filing reveals how Gov. Bruce Rauner’s campaign is investing heavily in an online mapping technology aimed at influencing voters — and potentially elected officials. The filing shows the Rauner camp’s biggest recent expenditure — more than $338,000 — went to a New York-based company called Project Applecart. (See Rauner’s filing). The technology uses unorthodox ways of collecting data on individuals, including through high school yearbooks and obituaries, according to this explainer: watch here. It identifies a “social anchor” who has links to voters with similar ideals.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170414/news/170419281/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A property tax mix-up involving new Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 board member Anisha Patel’s home resulted in her family saving more than $12,000 by paying taxes to the wrong school district since at least 2008. A Daily Herald analysis of property tax records shows the Patel family paid about $44,000 in taxes to Elk Grove Township Elementary District 59 since 2008 but should have paid closer to $56,000 during that time to District 25. Researchers at Cook County Clerk David Orr’s office discovered Patel’s home was wrongly listed within District 59’s taxing boundaries even though Patel sends her children to schools in District 25. The mistake came to light after Patel won election to the District 25 board April 4. Patel and owners of two neighboring homes — and ultimately their property tax bills — are affected by the revelation.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-federal-estate-tax-rate-perspec-0404-md-20170404-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s for the feds to do something like Pennsylvania has done with its inheritance tax: Tax from Dollar One (after deductions for funeral expenses, medical bills and other legitimate debts), but at very modest rates. You see, Pennsylvania only takes 4.5 percent from an estate whose heirs are the decedent’s children, grandchildren or other “lineal descendants.” It exempts spouses from tax altogether and also provides generous exemptions for legitimate family-owned farms and businesses. (The feds, by contrast, currently have a top rate of a confiscatory 40 percent, although as I said, it’s a joke since almost nobody pays it.) Taking a small cut of each transfer of wealth passing upon death makes a lot more sense — and, in my view, is much fairer — than overtaxing working people or continuing to run up the national credit cards, with the whopping bill eventually going to us.)

The bank must also rehire him, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration said. The $5.4 million, intended to cover back pay, compensatory damages and legal fees, is the largest individual award ever ordered through OSHA’s whistle-blower protection program, according to Barbara Goto, the agency’s regional administrator in San Francisco. It is also the first financial penalty against a company that the agency has announced in a news release since President Trump was inaugurated.)

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 d) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

— Students selecting a college increasingly consider long-term job prospects, debt – Gail MarksJarvis  (DIERSEN: Did you have a job offer when you were about to graduate? Before I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management, I had accepted a job offer from Firestone Stores. Did you have any debt when you graduated?  I did not, and I owned a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. I paid for my college education with the money that earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, IRS hired at the GS-7 level, currently $44,853.  In 1972, IRS promoted me to GS-9, currently $54,864.  In 1973, IRS promoted me to GS-11, currently $66,379.  In 1974, IRS promoted me to GS-12, currently $79,563.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/ct-college-bound-jobs-debt-columnist-marksjarvis-0402-biz-20170331-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Only 46 percent of the students who were about to graduate in 2016 with bachelor’s degrees had a job offer, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which does a survey of graduates each year. That’s an improvement over 2009, when only 41 percent had offers as the nation was coming out of the Great Recession, but it’s far below the 80 percent who were graduating with jobs before the recession, said association researcher Kenneth Tsang. In addition, pay levels have been stuck. Although college costs have been rising faster than inflation and the average college student with student loans leaves college with about $30,000 in debt, the survey has found that salaries aren’t budging. In 2016, the median salary for graduates who found jobs was $47,358, essentially flat for the last five years, Tsang said. Pay ranged from $65,000 for math majors to $31,000 for social science majors and $20,000 for those in the performing arts.)

I delivered newspapers and did yard work during the summers of 1962, 1963, and 1964.  I washed dishes during the summer of 1965.  I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966.  I delivered mail during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.)

— THE OFFICER MANAGER WHO WORE A WIRE AGAINST EX-CONGRESSMAN SCHOCK – Chuck Goudie
http://abc7chicago.com/news/the-officer-manager-who-wore-a-wire-against-schock-/1826860/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The I-Team looked into who it was that worked as an FBI informant inside the ranks of former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock. Aaron Schock’s attorneys say the staffer who was wired for sound was his Peoria district office manager. Although not named in this week’s new Schock court filing, the only district manager during that time period was Bryan Rudolph, a political science and government degree-holder from Wheaton College. Prosecutors are likely to make Rudolph a key component of the government’s corruption case against former Schock, unless Schock’s lawyers can stop it. It was obvious from the time Schock was charged that federal agents had help from inside. His lawyers now claim in a new filing this week that Schock’s Peoria district manager “covertly record private conversations with and between Mr. Schock and his staff;” claiming the manager “stole” thousands of email messages and illegally took congressional office records. The manager then, whom the I-Team identified as 32-year-old Bryan Rudolph, consented to be an informant only after Schock had announced his resignation in March 2015, according to the defense filing. Rudolph, whose resume states that he began working for the federal government’s Social Security Administration in 2007, did not return messages or answer emails on Thursday concerning the undercover work or claims that evidence he gathered had been illegally obtained. Schock’s attorneys rip the government’s use of the staffer-turned-informant; in the court record they say that he broke the law by stealing information from the Illinois Republican’s files. They call it a trail of improper – if not outright illegal – acts. Schock is accused of numerous federal corruption charges including wire and mail fraud, theft of government funds and falsifying federal election filings. Prosecutors say he pocketed thousands in improper vehicle reimbursements, camera equipment and proceeds from selling tickets to the World Series and Super Bowl. Attorneys for Schock plan to ask that the case be thrown out because of how the informant evidence was gathered – or at least that the evidence collected by the office manager be barred from trial.)

— Democrat Mendoza: Illinois Republican Party ‘Creepily Stalking’ Her – Derrick Blakley
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/30/democrat-mendoza-illinois-republican-party-creepily-stalking-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An increasingly bitter political battle between two top Illinois officials has entered a new phase: car wars. As Democrat Susana Mendoza left the state capital Thursday and entered her state-purchased vehicle, she was followed by an Illinois GOP operative who shot video of her. Republicans later tweeted about Mendoza’s “loaded,” luxurious ride. The implication is that state government may be broke, but Mendoza’s living large on the taxpayer’s dime. Mendoza was furious, saying in a counter-tweet that the Illinois Republican Party was “creepily stalking me.” It’s the latest flap between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Mendoza over who’s doing the most to look out for taxpayers. But does the GOP’s charge really hold up? Mendoza’s ride is a 2016 Ford Explorer, purchased used in January, with 16,431 miles. Total cost was $32,279. An invoice provided to CBS 2 shows Gov. Rauner’s main ride is newer, larger and more expensive. It’s a Ford Expedition XLT with extended length. It was purchased new, last December, by state police, at a cost $54,000. That is 67 percent more than Mendoza’s car. A Rauner spokesperson points out state police purchased the new vehicle – not Rauner’s office – even though the governor uses it. State police, of course, report directly to the governor.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly three years after the start of what was then called “The Great War,” the United States entered World War I with a congressional declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Until then, President Woodrow Wilson had maintained a policy of non-intervention, and a strong antiwar sentiment had swept the U.S. as casualties mounted on the battlefields across Europe and beyond. But the growing threat of a powerful German navy and its fleet of submarines attacking American shipping, plus evidence that Germany was trying to draw Mexico to its side, persuaded Wilson to join forces with Great Britain and France.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

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.

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:)

THE ATLANTIC
— Breaking Faith  The culture war over religious morality has faded; in its place is something much worse. – Peter Beinart  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, churches and their members talk and act like they are operatives or dupes for the Democrat Party.)
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/04/breaking-faith/517785/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Over the past decade, pollsters charted something remarkable: Americans—long known for their piety—were fleeing organized religion in increasing numbers. The vast majority still believed in God. But the share that rejected any religious affiliation was growing fast, rising from 6 percent in 1992 to 22 percent in 2014. Among Millennials, the figure was 35 percent.)

 

GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY
— APPLY NOW! Undergraduate Fall Internship with The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) – Juliann Phan  (DIERSEN: Government is nasty.  Politics is nasty.  Democrats are nasty. GAO audits IRS. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I only had to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, or from $90,173 to $71,326 to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old.  All during the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, they demonized, denigrated, and condemned what I had learned about IRS be working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, $79,563-$90,173. 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.)
