— Playing the Trump card in Bolingbrook mayoral race – Mark Brown (DIERSEN: Who are anti-Trumps punishing the most in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/brown-playing-the-trump-card-in-bolingbrook-mayoral-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Longtime Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar hosted a big fundraiser for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump last fall at the fancy village-owned golf clubhouse known locally as the “Rog Mahal.” Barely a month later, residents of the southwest suburban village voted 66 percent for Hillary Clinton to 27 percent for Trump. Will County board member Jackie Traynere, a Democrat, hopes to use that apparent political disconnect between Claar and his constituents to bring an end to his sometimes controversial 30 years in office. Since announcing her intention to run against Claar in the April 4 municipal elections, Traynere has sought to make the race in part a referendum on Claar’s support for the new president. “Trump isn’t the reason Roger should go. It really is his management of the village,” Traynere, 54, told me recently in a phone interview from Leavenworth, Kansas, where she was traveling on business in her role as a union organizer for the American Federation of Government Employees. But she adds: “The Trump support really pushed people over the edge.” Claar, just back from Trump’s inauguration, argued Tuesday that traditional party politics don’t belong in municipal elections and that he will gladly run on the record that has made him one of the longest serving mayors in the Chicago area. “I think people are generally pretty happy with what’s going on in Bolingbrook,” said the 71-year-old Claar, who aggressively steered the village’s growth from a population of about 33,000 when he took over to more than 75,000 today. Indeed, it’s a tricky business to inject national politics into a municipal election. Candidates don’t even run under party labels. And voter turnout is usually only a small fraction of what it is in a presidential election. But the fact is that Bolingbrook, an increasingly diverse community in every sense of the word, has been trending Democratic in statewide and national elections for the past decade. That suggests an opening for a Democrat mounting a serious campaign, and Traynere seems to be doing just that. She has hired a professional campaign manager and claims the endorsements of Sen. Dick Durbin and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle among others. Traynere was just re-elected to her third term on the Will County Board and served last year as a Bernie Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Claar starts the election season with a campaign fund of more than $500,000, barely half of what he once kept on hand, but says he has what he needs. “This whole thing is about power. They see this as an opportunity to take over. They want to be in charge of Bolingbrook,” said Claar, who vowed that he will not seek endorsements from any Republicans, including Trump. That doesn’t mean Claar is backing down from his support for Trump, whom he describes as a “breath of fresh air” on the political scene. “He called it like it is. That’s kind of the way I operate,” said Claar. Claar operates as a full-time mayor and pays himself commensurately with a salary of $140,102, not including a $6,000 car allowance. He emphasizes that’s less than Bolingbrook paid the village administrator whose job he eliminated. Claar also is collecting two public pensions: $55,757 from his previous life as a school administrator and $4,532 from his tenure on the Illinois Tollway Authority. His total annual taxpayer compensation of $200,000 looms as a potential campaign issue. Claar resigned from the tollway board in 2000 after the Sun-Times reported he was raising campaign funds from tollway vendors. That was just one of many minor scandals that have dogged Claar through the years, but nothing that has turned the voters of Bolingbrook against him. “I have been vetted on numerous occasions over false accusations,” Claar declared. He predicts Traynere’s emphasis on Trump could backfire. I predict it will make for a more interesting than usual municipal election season.)

— U-46 board member: New curriculum ‘glorifies communism,’ presents ‘pseudoscience’ – Madhu Krishnamurthy
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170124/news/170129496/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A proposal for new digital literacy curriculum and resources has one Elgin school board member concerned about students being indoctrinated. The Elgin Area School District U-46 school board Monday night voted 5-2 to approve curriculum for prekindergarten through 12th grades. One school board member voting against, Jeanette Ward, objected to some of the materials that are part of the digital curriculum. “I will be voting ‘no’ on any curriculum proposal that relies on any text or resource that glorifies communism and denigrates capitalism, deliberately misrepresents Israel’s history and right to live in its own land, presents the pseudoscience of climate change as established scientific fact, or celebrates Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger as a champion for women when, in fact, she was a racist who believed in eugenics, more specifically in killing as many unborn African-American babies as possible,” Ward said.)

I worked for the U.S. Government Accountability Office for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators for almost 9 years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and on audits of many other federal agencies for almost 6 years. While I worked for GAO, I earned a master’s degree accounting from DePaul; I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt; I became a licensed CPA; I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Manager, and Forensic Accountant; and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The experience inspired Allen to co-found the Edgar County Watchdogs along with fellow Edgar County resident John Kraft, who was also frustrated with government officials. Since the small-town Illinoisans founded their group, they have forced out 185 public officials in the state, all of whom resigned or chose not to seek reelection. More impressive still, the pair has accomplished all of this without any funding, through the use of FOIA requests, pro se litigation, and comments at public government meetings. Due to their exemplary achievements, Allen and Kraft won the State Policy Network’s 2016 Unsung Hero Award, a cash prize of $25,000 that is sponsored by the Vernon K. Krieble Foundation. The award is part of the foundation’s citizenship program, “Lens of Liberty,” which encourages citizens to defend their rights and freedom.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— An idea for $60 billion per year in federal savings – Bob Fitzhenry (DIERSEN: Does Fitzhenry approve or disapprove of the federal government’s wasting my career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old? Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH the federal government’s wasting my career and forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/01/an_idea_60_billion_per_year_in_federal_savings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I dusted off an old idea of mine because of President Trump’s freeze on federal hiring, his tasking to create an attrition plan, and a statistic I read yesterday in a Washington Post article by Juliet Eilperin. Eilperin reported that in the federal workforce, “there are nearly three times as many employees over age 60 as under age 30.” Yikes. That’s no way to run a railroad. The idea I’d roughed out gave a way to cut back the federal workforce by tempting people to retire or move on earlier than they would otherwise. Depending on whom I’d run the idea past, I’d hear that it’s fantasy, fantastic, or the best sense of fantastical. The cliché to address what I’d like to see happen is, “You’ve got to spend money to make money.” What if we spent a bunch of money offering departure incentives high enough to entice 750,000 feds to resign or retire? Then, how about filling one third of the vacated positions with veterans, graduates, and the un- and underemployed? We’d be spending billions to save billions more every year, and to get 250,000 people into careers they and the country need them to have.)

January 23 Evening Edition

DAILY HERALD
— DuPage County Election Commission director Robert Saar retiring – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170123/news/170129582/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Robert Saar, the longtime executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission, no longer is overseeing the day-to-day operation of the agency — and hasn’t been since mid-December. Election commissioners said Monday that Saar officially will retire March 14 but has not been in the office since Dec. 16, when he informed them about his plans to step down. He has been using accrued time off since then, they said, and has no plans to return to work. Joseph Sobecki, the commission’s assistant executive director, is serving in the agency’s top administrative role on an interim basis. “The election commission wishes Mr. Saar the best in his retirement,” said Cathy Ficker Terrill, chairwoman of the election commission board. Saar has been with the commission since 1981 and served as executive director since 1997. Pat Bond, the commission’s attorney, said retirement was on Saar’s “radar” in recent years. “As each election approaches, he doesn’t want to leave anybody in a lurch,” Bond said, “so he stuck around.” This year, the circumstances are different. Saar told commissioners about his retirement just days after DuPage officials announced a plan to ask state lawmakers to return election oversight power to the county clerk’s office by merging it with the election commission.)

I have attended and/or participated in them since 1978 and I have raised money from Republicans each and every year for them since 2006. I should write a book about the Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois a) who work against the parades and against patriotism, b) who work against Republican participation in the parades, and/or c) who work against my efforts to raise money from Republicans to support the parades. If their treatment of me at the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce January 19, 2017 State of the City Address is any indication, now that Trump is our President, they are dramatically increasing their efforts a) to harm the parade and patriotism, b) to discourage/stop Republican participation in the parade, and c) to discourage/stop Republicans from donating for the parade. They are fully aware that I will raise $2,500 for the parade this year from Republicans, even if that means that I donate all of that $2,500.)

NEW YORK POST
— How these unemployed people survive in America – John Crudele (DIERSEN: Are you unemployed? If so, how do you get by? As a 68-year-old unemployed retired federal employee, I have received a dramatically reduced Civil Service Retirement System pension (currently $50,856 a year) since 1997. In addition, I have received dramatically reduced Social Security (currently $2,028 a year) since 2010.)
http://nypost.com/2017/01/22/how-these-unemployed-people-survive-in-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dear John: In a nutshell, I am getting by because I still have a good credit score (690, I believe). I am a 66-year-old retired civilian federal employee. I was able to retire when I was age 55 after 32 years of service and receive my full pension (currently about $3,600 net monthly). I retired to “pursue other interests,” as the cliche goes.)

— Here’s how much Obama’s pension is worth – Chris Isidore (DIERSEN: On September 30, 1997, 49-year old David John Diersen succumbed to threats from his Democrat GAO superiors and became a federal retiree. In today’s dollars, a) my Civil Service Retirement System pension is $50,720 and b) my federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy for my wife and I is $16,854. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes continue to be furious about that. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. In addition, 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 33.)
http://www.nbc-2.com/story/34308844/heres-how-much-obamas-pension-is-worth
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At noon on Friday, 55-year old Barack Obama became a federal retiree. His pension payment will be $207,800 for the upcoming year, about half of his presidential salary. Obama and every other former president also get seven months of “transition” services to help adjust to post-presidential life. The ex-Commander in Chief also gets lifetime Secret Service protection as well as allowances for things such as travel, office expenses, communications and health care coverage. All those extra expenses can really add up. In 2015 they ranged from a bit over $200,000 for Jimmy Carter to $800,000 for George W. Bush, according to a government report. Carter doesn’t get health insurance because you have to work for the federal government for five years to qualify. The pensions and other benefits were first created in 1958, when former President Harry Truman was experiencing financial trouble. The annual payments are currently the same as what cabinet secretaries earn in a given year, and those salaries are set by Congress. But the days of this kind of taxpayer support for ex-presidents may be numbered. Last year, the Republican Congress passed a bill that would have set a flat $200,000 a year in pension payments and capped other expenses at $200,000 a year per president. The cost of living increases for the pension would be tied to the same formula used to increase social security benefits. But that $400,000 could quickly disappear under the proposed law, which cuts the pension and expense payments by a dollar for every dollar that a former president earns above $400,000. So taxpayers are off the hook entirely once a president earns $800,000 a year. Given that most former presidents can earn significant incomes from speeches and writing books, it’s very possible that the taxpayer support of former executives could become a thing of the past. But Obama vetoed the legislation, telling Congress that he did so because the bill also would have terminated the salaries and benefits of former presidents’ staff, and made it harder for the Secret Service to protect former presidents. “If the Congress returns the bill having appropriately addressed these concerns, I will sign it,” he said. But the legislation never got back to his desk. The president’s salary is $400,000, but during the campaign President Trump said he would decline the pay.)

http://www.wsj.com/articles/in-retirement-its-save-now-or-pay-a-lot-later-1484908217
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Given a choice between satisfying our immediate needs and desires or focusing on the future, the here and now typically wins out. That impulse doesn’t bode well for retirement savings. The psychological tendency to prioritize the present over the future has troubling implications, especially in an era in which Social Security is underfunded and old-fashioned pension plans are falling by the wayside, leaving individuals increasingly responsible for creating their own retirement security. “Time, resources and attention are limited,” says Neil Lewis Jr., a Ph.D. candidate in social psychology at the University of Michigan and co-author of a recent study that examined ways to counteract the impulse to spend now instead of saving for retirement. “People allocate them to events that are pressing, rather than to events that may happen later.” . . . The bad news: The savings crisis is deepening as 52% of American households are at risk of being unable to maintain their standard of living in retirement, up from 45% in 2004, according to Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research. The center calculates a cumulative retirement savings shortfall of $6.4 trillion.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois companies pony up to sponsor state’s inaugural ball – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-illinois-trump-inaugural-ball-sponsors-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A slew of Illinois companies sponsored Thursday night’s Inaugural Heartland Ball, a gala put on by the D.C.-based state societies of Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and Wisconsin. The Illinois State Society listed a series of sponsors: $25,000 from Abbott Labs and Motorola Solutions; $15,000 from ADM, Monsanto and CME Group; $10,000 from Constellation Brands and Molina Healthcare; and $5,000 from Abbvie and Great Lakes Dredge & Dock. On Thursday morning, we noticed the sponsor list also included the Illinois Senate Democrats at the $5,000 level. The ball is a nonpartisan event, so that was a little odd. Senate Democrats said they would inquire. By the afternoon, the Senate Democrats had disappeared from the Illinois State Society website. Organizers expected as many as 1,5000 guests at the Marriott Marquis. Tickets were $500 for dinner and the ball and $300 for just the ball. You can read more about the event here. Among those Illinoisans in attendance who will have some clout with the new administration is Ron Gidwitz, a businessman who led Donald Trump’s Illinois campaign fundraising effort. Gidwitz has been in Washington for much of the week, attending major events featuring Trump, including a dinner with many of Washington’s foreign diplomatic corps in which he sat with Trump’s nominee for housing secretary, Dr. Ben Carson. Others scheduled to be part of the Illinois contingent include national and local conservative fundraiser Richard Uihlein; business consultant Robert Blackwell; state Republican chairman Tim Schneider, a Cook County commissioner; Richard Porter, Illinois’ Republican national committeeman; Trump assistant commerce secretary nominee Todd Ricketts of the Cubs-owning family; prominent Marion businessman Harry Crisp; and Jack Dorgan, a Rosemont trustee and member of the state GOP central committee. Also in town is Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, a member of the state GOP central committee, who hosted a Trump fundraiser; and David MacNeil, the CEO of Bolingbrook-based WeatherTech auto parts who backed Trump after initially supporting Jeb Bush.)

— Government employees are overly protected from employer sanctions. – Brian Dong (DIERSEN: Dong should rail against patronage. Democrats run the federal government. I have always been a Republican. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat who would take the job. Needless-to-say, those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who promote patronage would never hire me to do anything.)
https://www.chicagomaroon.com/article/2017/1/20/state-union/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is not a foreign concept that some government agencies are awfully slow and are experts at giving low quality service. Surely, in a private company that offers comparable services, effective managers could make a tangible impact on the quality of service. Alas, the solution will never be as simple for federal organizations with the current system. Lawmakers passed numerous government worker protection laws as part of the civil servant protection system to shield them from arbitrary or political terminations. Today, government employees have been afforded a staggering amount of job overprotection. An investigation by CBS News reported just how difficult it can be to fire a government employee. One official at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was allowed to keep his job after being caught watching porn for several hours per day. Two managers from General Services Administration (GSA) were rehired and even received bonuses after initially being terminated for spending almost $1 million on luxury goods for a conference. There is absolutely no reason why they should be allowed to avoid proper disciplinary action for their professional shortcomings. When employees are allowed to keep their job even when watching porn, performing poorly, slacking off, and participating in other unprofessional and unethical activities, it creates a toxic culture of apathetic mediocrity. There is very little incentive for people to do their jobs adequately if they are almost certain to not be fired. This morale-killing culture is exactly why agencies like the DMV are saturated with incompetent and rude staff. These protections not only make a high-performing federal employee a rarity, but also cause a lot of taxpayer money to be wasted. New York City’s infamous rubber room exemplifies this waste. Due to tenure and union agreements, teachers who are accused of criminal conduct are sent there until they receive hearings. While they wait for their hearings for an indefinite time in the Rubber Room, they continue to receive their salaries and increase their pensions while literally doing nothing. NYC hemorrhages $22 million per year from taxpayers’ wallets, keeping these teachers in limbo because union agreements make the firing process unbearably long and complicated. Clearly, the American public suffers from these practices. However, the intricate web of bureaucratic regulations and union decrees make it anything but easy to effect change. There may only be one Scott Walker, but more people should be cracking down on unions. Making it easy for a manager to fire an employee for simply doing a bad job shouldn’t be a liberal or conservative issue—it’s a common sense issue. The term “civil servant” implies a great amount of accountability and loyalty to one’s country. Indeed, public employees like soldiers, policemen, and firefighters risk their lives every day to defend peoples’ lives. The EPA strives to sustain a better planet to live in. The Food and Drug Administration serves to protect public health. These responsibilities were handed to federal agencies because they are presumably more trustworthy than private institutions and corporations. This greater purpose though, is often completely eroded by the sheer lack of accountability of federal agencies’ employees. With ghoulish bureaucratic procedures, strong union protection, and tenure, it can be very difficult to translate an individual agency’s mission to the United States down to its employees, and this undermines the honor the job is supposed to carry. It’s time government workers are held accountable for their actions and performance.)

ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Protesters, Trump supporters clash outside ‘DeploraBall’ in Washington, DC
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34304985/protesters-trump-supporters-clash-outside-deploraball
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Protesters and supporters of President-elect Donald Trump clashed outside a pro-Trump event in Washington the night before his inauguration. Police used chemical spray on some protesters in an effort to control the unruly crowd. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the National Press Club in downtown Washington, where the “DeploraBall” was being held. The name is a play on a campaign remark by Hillary Clinton, who once referred to many of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.” Protesters booed any time presumed ball-goers in suits, tuxedos or dresses came in or out of the event. One man waving a pro-Trump flag had debris thrown at him and was chased to the nearby Warner Theater, where Fox News Channel personalities Sean Hannity and Geraldo Rivera happened to be outside waiting to go into another event. Hannity engaged hecklers by raising his fist; Rivera laughed and smiled before entering the theater.)

FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
— I do solemnly swear that I will … – Jeff Neal (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government treated me as though I had failed/refused to carry out their orders to give preference to their employees because they were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger. They never charged me with the aforesaid because I never did the aforesaid; I always carried out their orders to give preference to their employees because they were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger. Nevertheless, because I disagreed with the aforesaid and because I objected to the aforesaid, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, 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 did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)
http://federalnewsradio.com/commentary/2017/01/i-do-solemnly-swear-that-i-will/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: People in the private sector do not take an oath of office when they get a job. They get an offer, report to work, and that’s it. For federal employees it is different. Reading so many articles about the inauguration that refer to the president-elect taking the oath of office on Jan. 20 got me thinking about oaths and what they mean. I have taken that oath of office as a civil service employee. Raising your right hand and swearing to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” is not something most people take lightly. It is a solemn oath and it means something to most people who take it. . .The oath is relatively straightforward, but what does it mean? I see the oath as having three important aspects. First, the employee swears to support and defend the Constitution against enemies. Second, s/he swears allegiance to the Constitution. Finally, the employee promises to do his/her job well. How does the oath manifest itself in day-to-day work? Does it provide any protection for an employee who refuses an order s/he believes would be a violation of the oath? That question is far more complex than the oath itself. Federal employees are required to follow lawful orders, even if they disagree with them. 5 USC 2302(b)(9)(D) gives employees the “right to refuse” with respect to unlawful orders. But what happens when an order violates a regulation or rule, but is not technically illegal? A 2015 Merit Systems Protection Board decision directly answered that question. MSPB outlined the issues in the case, writing “Specifically, the appellant asserted that the agency violated 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(9)(D), which protects employees from retaliation “for refusing to obey an order that would require the individual to violate a law.” 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(9)(D). He alleged that the agency improperly stripped him of particular job duties and gave him a subpar performance rating for disobeying an order that would have required that he violate (1) a Federal Acquisition Regulation that limits the authority of a contracting officer’s representative (COR), and (2) “PA296: How to be a COR,” the agency’s training course for COR certification, which further clarifies the limitations to this authority.” MSPB’s final decision said “… we hold that the right-to-disobey provision at section 2302(b)(9)(D) extends only to orders that would require the individual to take an action barred by statute. Because the appellant in this case contends that he disobeyed an order that would have required him to violate an agency rule or regulation, his claim falls outside of the scope of section 2302(b)(9)(D).” The oath of office does not grant any protection for deciding that an order is a bad idea, bad policy, or morally or ethically wrong. In fact, the oath does not grant any protection from anything. It is an oath of allegiance and a promise to do good work. Employees who believe they are being ordered to act in a manner inconsistent with their oath of office may pursue other options, such as whistleblower complaints or any other avenue provided by law or regulation, but disobeying direct orders is generally not one of the available options. That means an employee who wants to argue that s/he is adhering to the oath of office by disobeying orders has a very tough hill to climb. There is also the option of going to the press, but that can bring its own set of risks.)

Their efforts to hire women for the jobs that I had were frustrated by the fact that all the jobs that I had were “bad” jobs and qualified women could always get better jobs elsewhere. I had “bad” jobs doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent taxes, and auditing federal agencies. Extremely few women wanted the “bad” jobs that I had.)

They stressed that neither of my parents had attended college, that my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, that my mother had never attended high school, and that I was a part-time dishwasher.

http://www.therepublic.com/2017/01/17/high_school_classmates_saw_pences_leadership_40_years_ago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Classmates who traveled the halls of Columbus North High School in 1977 didn’t know then that one of them would one day hold the second highest office in the United States. But a few of them suspected Vice President-elect Mike Pence might be headed toward national office someday even as they voted him North’s senior class president that year. Bob Haddad Jr., now general manager of Harrison Lake Country Club, was one of Pence’s acquaintances who voted for him for senior class president. “Everybody did,” Haddad Jr. said of his classmates. “We knew even back then.”)

NEW YORK TIMES

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/15/us/politics/trumps-race-john-lewis.html
— John’s Gospel of Trump’s Illegitimacy – Charles M. Blow (DIERSEN: Are you a draft avoider? I sought and obtained student draft deferments 1966-1970 and I sought and obtained a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used that against me. They focus on turning veterans against me. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, most of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were veterans, and at times, virtually all of them were veterans.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/16/opinion/johns-gospel-of-trumps-illegitimacy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump attacks Lewis as, “All talk, talk, talk — no action”; Lewis, who repeatedly thrust his body unto the breach for justice, who was arrested, beaten and terrorized, including during the time that young Trump was at his well-heeled schools, receiving draft deferments from the Vietnam War. In fact, one of Trump’s five deferments was in 1965, the same year as the Selma marches and “Bloody Sunday,” during which Lewis was struck so violently by a state trooper wielding a billy club that Lewis’s skull was fractured. Coincidentally, Trump finally received his permanent exemption from the draft, a 4-F status, in the year before he and his father were sued by the Department of Justice for violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 — one of the many justice issues Lewis championed. As The New York Times noted at the time: “The government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals ‘because of race and color.’ It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available.” Let’s be clear: Donald Trump doesn’t even deserve to stand in John Lewis’s shadow. The spectacular obscenity of Trump’s comment is incomparable and deeply repulsive.)

http://www.wsj.com/articles/china-tightens-apps-oversight-1484568024
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Plugging a gap in the Great Firewall, China on Monday began requiring internet app stores to register with the state. China has long censored websites, barring outlawed content such as pornography, the promotion of illegal activity including terrorism and “rumors,” a term regulators often apply to antigovernment statements. But apps create a special challenge for government censors, experts say, because they often incorporate a wide variety of functions and serve as platforms for users to exchange information, making them harder to oversee. They are also multiplying quickly.)

— Pulling Retirement Cash, but Not by Choice Baby boomers’ mandatory withdrawals from 401(k)s, IRAs and other tax-deferred retirement accounts start in full force this year, touching off a massive shift of cash – VIPAL MONGA and SARAH KROUSE (DIERSEN: The cost of living in Wheaton is very high. Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically reduced. Because of that, increasingly, my wife and I are spending more than our income. When I am 70 1/2, we will use my required minimum distribution to help pay for things like real estate taxes, income taxes, medical expenses, food, utilities, and insurance.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/pulling-retirement-cash-but-not-by-choice-1484568043
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The largest generation in U.S. history has to start pulling its retirement money this year, kicking off a mandatory movement of cash that could total hundreds of billions in the coming decades. U.S. law requires anyone age 70 ½ or older to begin annual withdrawals from their tax-sheltered retirement accounts and pay taxes on those distributions. The oldest of the nation’s 75 million baby boomers cross that threshold for the first time this month, according to a U.S. Census Bureau estimate of when that demographic group began. The obligatory outflows from 401(k)s and IRAs are expected to ripple through the U.S. economy, the stock market and a money-management industry that relies heavily on fees from boomers’ tax-sheltered savings plans and assets. Boomers hold roughly $10 trillion in tax-deferred savings accounts, according to an estimate by Edward Shane, a managing director at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Over the next two decades, the number of people age 70 or older is expected to nearly double to 60 million—roughly the population of Italy. Firms that manage 401(k) plans are trying to persuade clients to reinvest their withdrawals in other products rather than spending or donating the cash to charity. It’s another pain point for many traditional money managers already struggling to keep some clients from shifting into lower-cost index-tracking mutual funds.)

I was a union member for almost 12 years. I bought my first car in 1964. That car, and all the cars that I have bought since then, were made by General Motors, Ford, or Chrysler.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Illegals and their supporters say “We are here to stay.” In my opinion, it is a crime to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally. In my opinion, it is a crime to encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1960s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the jobs that did doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, and delivering mail. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1970s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the jobs that did working on an automobile assemble line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumping gasoline, and collecting delinquent taxes. If legal and illegal immigration were as high during the 1980s as it is today, I doubt that I would have gotten the job that did auditing federal agencies. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that all the jobs that I had were bad jobs, but nevertheless, jobs that should be given to immigrants.)

ABC NEWS
— Pay Gap Between College Grads and Everyone Else at a Record – CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER (DIERSEN: In 1970, Firestone Stores would not have offered me a job if I had not had a bachelor’s degree in business. In 1971, Oldsmobile and IRS would not have offered me a job if I had not had a bachelor’s degree in business. In 1972, 1973, and 1974, IRS might not have promoted me if I had not been taking graduate business classes. In 1980, GAO would not have offered me a job if I had not had an MBA and if I had not passed the CPA examination. The Democrats who ran GAO would have succeeded in getting rid of me even sooner than they did if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, became a licensed CPA in 1981, became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and became Forensic Accountant in 1997 and if I had not earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997.)

— Eight Was Enough The Obama years, which left us divided and angry, paved the way for the ascent of Donald J. Trump. – Peter Wehner (DIERSEN: Under Obama, America became even more 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, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes took Obama’s election in 2008 and reelection in 2012 AS A MADATE TO GET RID OF ME AND TO GET RID THOSE WHO SHARE MY DEMOCRAPHICS.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means, they are disciples of Saul Alinsky.)

— A wall isn’t “the” answer to our immigration problem – TOM TANCREDO
http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/14/a-wall-isnt-the-answer-to-our-immigration-problems/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The answer is called E-Verify, an internet-based system for verifying legal work status, the infrastructure for which already exists. It’s is a program operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services bureau of the Department of Homeland Security. In less than one minute, any employer can use it to verify the legal status of the person seeking employment. Today it is a voluntary program used by over a half-million private sector employers that do not rely on illegal labor. We can halt probably 95 percent of unlawful hiring of illegal labor if E-Verify is made mandatory for all employers except those using a legal guest worker program to obtain temporary employees. But here’s the really scary part to my former colleagues: once in place, it is largely self-enforcing and does not depend on an army of immigration agents doing on-site inspections of paper records. It works, and that’s why it is so vigorously opposed. Mandatory E-verify will reduce illegal immigration dramatically. If we remove the magnet of jobs, far fewer people try to enter illegally, and once fully implemented, most of those already here will be forced to return home and start on a legal path of entry into the United States.)

LOCKPORT JOURNAL
— DAILY HERALD ARTICLE TITLE: Obama poised for an active retirement – AP (DIERSEN: Are you retired? If so, how active are you? Do you disapprove of me? Do you hate me? Do you blame me for your problems, for my problems, and/or for everyone’s problems? Do you, or someone who you manipulate/dominate, want to be the GOPUSA Illinois Editor? My critics/opponents might hire you to harass me, but I doubt that they would pay you more than $15 an hour.)
