O’Connell, Jeremy Gorner and Megan Crepeau (DIERSEN: What will the protesters call for?

— Yes, there really are people who aren’t on Facebook. But are they normal? – Barbara Brotman (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat website.

— Go ahead, sign Pat Quinn’s term limits petition – Editorial (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote term limits.

— Millennial buyers face a tough housing market – Tim Henderson (DIERSEN: In September of 1972, when I was 24 years old, I bought a new town home at 774-5 Sunset Court in University Park with money that I had earned/saved a) working for IRS since June of 1971 and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights since August of 1970. In 1974, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building with money that I had earned/saved working for IRS. In 1976, I bought a one bedroom condo in that building with money that I had earned/saved working for IRS. In 1978, my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton with money that I had earned/saved working for IRS and that she had earned/saved working for the FBI and the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. In 1984, we had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton with money that I had earned/saved working for GAO and that my wife had earned/saved working for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions.)

— FRONT PAGE IN THE NAPERVILLE SUN WITH A COLOR PICTURE: KidsMatter developing programs to reach stressed-out Naperville youth – Suzanne Baker (DIERSEN: What caused you stress when you were young? For me, it included a) I was NOT viewed as being “college material;” neither of my parents had attended college; my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma; and my mother never attended high school; b) the stigma of my spending my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights; c) I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class; d) my ACT score was only 24; e) I was draft bait; f) my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20; g) I had partial red/green color blindness; and h) I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease). Back then, Democrats demonized, denigrated, and condemned Vietnam veterans as being “baby killers.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_babies)

My ancestors have been in Illinois since 1844. What discourages you from celebrating the bicentennial? For me, it is Democrats who ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are an old non-veteran White male Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, a) the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against women and b) the more that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion. Democrats use AA, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of old non-veteran White male Republicans.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘Divisive’ label a badge of honor for today’s conservatives – Cheryl K. Chumley (DIERSEN: Who are the leading anti-Trumps in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? Anti-Trumps focus on dividing members of Group A against members of Group B. Members of Group A 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. Members of Group B are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jul/7/divisive-label-badge-honor-todays-conservatives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The left, whenever confronted with a hard truth about its vicious self, likes to run screaming for the exits, calling out conservatives for so-called “divisive” rhetoric and over-the-top partisanship that doesn’t advance discussion or lead to rational political solutions. But first off, you can’t light a fire and then gasp in shock when it burns. Democrats didn’t get their angry-bird buttons for nothing. And second off, being called “divisive,” for those of conservative ilk, anyway, should actually be regarded as a badge of honor these days. Why? The left has been busily dividing this country for decades, pushing those with regard for the Constitution and its limited-government provisions to the side with growing pressure, and clearing wide paths for progressive/socialist ideals with frenzied energy. The only difference nowadays is that those on the left are fielding a level of push-back they’ve not previously experienced. After all, it’s only been just recently that Republicans in office haven’t rolled over and played dead when confronted by Democratic agenda. Winning on the GOP front — can you say Hillary Clinton surprise? — is a fairly new situation, and one that both leftists and establishment types are still trying to come to grips with, it seems. So liberals, apparently frustrated by the fight, have taken with rising regularity to calling such push-back “divisive.” Their goal? Why, to get those doing the push-back to shut the heck up, of course. Case in point: Trump and the media.)

http://thehill.com/policy/finance/395891-gop-runs-into-trump-tax-law-in-new-jersey
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats in New Jersey are hoping that President Trump’s tax-cut law provides them with a boost in the midterm elections. The law caps the state and local tax (SALT) deduction at $10,000, a change that hurts people in high-tax states such as New Jersey, which has the highest property taxes of any state. All but one New Jersey Republican voted against the tax law, in large part because of the limit on state and local tax deductions. Democrats on the campaign trail say restoring the full deduction means putting their party back in charge of the House.)

However, were it not for 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.)

— Hysteria about the Supreme Court vacancy isn’t about abortion — it’s about reparations – JAMES GAGLIANO (DIERSEN: Who should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that it should be me. They stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), 100% German national origin, my ancestors have been America for a long time (since 1844), conservative, Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), draft avoider, and non-poor. How many of the aforesaid terrible demographics do you share with me? In my defense, my ancestors have always lived in northeast Illinois.)
http://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/395945-hysteria-about-supreme-court-vacancy-isnt-about-abortion-its-about
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A progressive court would sense our nation’s sovereign borders differently; immigration issues would be viewed through the prism of globalism. Liberal judges tend to apply pluralistic conditions to their considered opinions. Judicial activism would proliferate in the guise of “righting historical injustices” and, in particular, redressing America’s “original sin” — slavery. If Trump succeeds in appointing a conservative justice, for example, the court effectively would rule against any legislative efforts to have America – meaning the taxpayer – pay some $4.1 trillion to African Americans related to the impact of slavery, as David Horowitz outlines in his 2016 book, “Progressive Racism. ”A liberal Court would see this controversial issue very differently than a conservative Court. And some supporters of reparations already have mapped a way for descendants of slaves to receive some form of compensation. Georgetown University professor and author Michael Eric Dyson has gone so far as to suggest that white Americans — no matter whether their ancestors were slave-owners or not — should maintain an “individual reparations account” as a means of “atonement.” This would involve making donations to African American groups. The Trump administration’s Department of Education already has begun moves to undercut Obama-era policy guidelines to universities to consider race in college admissions if legally possible. Quotas, racial preferences, and the landmark 1978 Supreme Court decision to legalize affirmative action have given way to a far more innocuous, benign term — diversity — and been upheld by the Court as recently as 2016. But the construct — reparations — remains the same. While these “reparations” may be well-intended, they penalize Americans whose ancestors played no role in slavery, in order to compensate Americans who were never enslaved. If the Supreme Court’s ideological majority flipped, future generations would be left to foot the bill.)

I earned a) job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 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. The federal government would not have wasted my career if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran. I should write a book about those who have done the most to waste what I learned a) working for IRS for almost 9 years, b) earning an MBA from Loyola, c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, d) earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul e) passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, f) earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT, and g) working for GAO for almost 18 years.)

— 7 money goals to hit by the time you’re 35 that are actually achievable – Judith Ohikuare (DIERSEN: In today’s dollars, I doubled my salary when I was 30. In today’s dollars, I earned $45,703/year (GS-7 Step 1) when I was 22 and $91,880/year (GS-12 Step 5) when I was 30. According to Money Magazine’s February 1978 article on me, in today’s dollars, at the end of 1977, my net worth was $199,615 of which $27,354 was my Civil Service Retirement System contributions.)
http://www.thisisinsider.com/money-goals-to-hit-by-35-that-are-actually-achievable-2018-7
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chances are, you’ve seen the advice floating around that advises 35-year-olds to have twice their annual salary in savings if they plan to retire by 67 “and live a similar lifestyle.” If you are 35 years old and you have just one year’s annual salary shored up, congratulations a million times over — you’re well ahead of the game. In 2017, the median salary for Americans aged 35 to 44 was $50,752 annually, based on figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By contrast, the Federal Reserve found that the same age demographic had a median $5,000 in a savings account. All Americans, on average, had just over $33,766 saved, and one-third had $0 saved for retirement in 2016. Obviously, the double-your-salary-by-35 figure isn’t realistic for many working people in the U.S. — especially those in their mid-thirties.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: How proud are you to be an American? That was the question asked of a little over 1,500 American adults for a Gallup poll published Monday. Only 47 percent said they felt extremely proud to be an American — a record low in the 17 years since the research company first started asking the question and a sharp drop from a peak of 70 percent in 2003. The other options were very proud (25 percent), moderately proud (16 percent), only a little proud (7 percent) or not proud at all (3 percent).)

Dogs are extremely time consuming and expensive. One reason why I can afford to spend 10+ hours each and every day and thousands of dollars each and every year to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and send them out each and every day is that I have never owned a dog. The time and money that others have spent on dogs I spent working a second job during 1971 and 1972, earning three job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, passing two professional certification examinations in 1979 and 1981, serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 2000, serving as the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, serving as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, etc.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH GRAPHIC: In This Economy, Quitters Are Winning – David Harrison and Eric Morath (DIERSEN: Beyond outrageously, in Diersen v. GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors argued that they did nothing to get me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. But in fact, they made it extremely clear to me that if I did not take their “offer,” they would a) make my life a living hell and b) constructively, if not actually, demote me. They told me that if I did not take their “offer,” they would assign me to work for my subordinates. All my subordinates were Democrat minorities and/or Democrat females who were younger than me and who had an extremely low opinion of me and of those who share my demographics. They hinted/implied that they would give me performance expectations and performance appraisals that would be even more unfair. They hinted/implied that they might do less to destroy me if I would a) dump my 9 years of experience auditing federal financial industry regulators and b) dump my 1997 master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT and try to get assigned to a different audit group.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-this-economy-quitters-are-winning-1530702001
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kimberly Enoch had a stable job working from home managing grants for a Little Rock, Ark., nonprofit, but she was bored and thought she could do better. So she quit. Within three months, she landed a job as a grant writer at Southern Bancorp Community Partners, snagging a 14% raise, a faster pace at work and an easy seven-minute commute. “I knew I could do more,” Ms. Enoch said. She is part of a bigger trend. Workers are choosing to leave their jobs at the fastest rate since the internet boom 17 years ago and getting rewarded for it with bigger paychecks and/or more satisfying work.)

— Financial Freedom Eludes Many, but Social Security Helps Only one in 10 Americans isn’t in some capacity reliant on their Social Security income when they retire. – Sean Williams (DIERSEN: What has helped you to save more of your income for retirement? For me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would say it was three very bad things: a) my avoiding the draft, b) the federal government grossly overpaying me, and c) my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents.)
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2018/07/04/financial-freedom-eludes-many-but-social-security.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to a Bankrate survey released in March, most Americans fail to save an adequate amount of their income. While most financial advisors recommend that people save 15% or more of what they earn, just 16% of respondents to Bankrate’s survey were heeding this advice. By comparison, 19% weren’t saving a red cent, 21% were putting away 1% to 5% of their earnings, and another 25% were saving 6% to 10% of their income. In another context, essentially two-thirds of Americans are saving nothing or very little, thusly putting their retirement in jeopardy.)

http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/38548029/volkswagen-worker-60-files-age-discrimination-case-against-automaker
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 60-year-old employee at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga auto plant has filed a class-action lawsuit in which he contends the company is using a rebranding effort to discriminate against workers once they turn 50. The law firm that filed the lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court said the named plaintiff is Jonathan Manlove of Ooltewah, who is a former supervisor at the Chattanooga plant. Attorney Kevin Sharp said the company is trying to change its image to a “younger, sleeker company” after an emissions scandal that has rocked VW since 2015. The law firm said the company announced it was “becoming slimmer, leaner and younger” just before Manlove was demoted last year. The firm said he has sought other positions but has been rebuffed. Volkswagen spokesman Keith King said the company doesn’t comment on pending litigation.)

— Amazon Workers Facing Firing Can Appeal to a Jury of Their Co-Workers The hearing process has raised questions about fairness, according to workers and their attorneys. – Spencer Soper (DIERSEN: What would a jury of your co-workers be like? While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, virtually all of my co-workers disapproved of those who were conservative, Republican, draft avoiders, older, Protestant, and/or German American.)
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-25/amazon-workers-facing-firing-can-appeal-to-a-jury-of-their-co-workers
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jane was working in Amazon.com Inc.’s Seattle headquarters when she was asked to a meeting with her manager and a human resources representative. They gave her a document outlining concerns about her work performance and spelled out three choices. She could quit and receive severance pay, spend the next several weeks trying to keep her job by meeting certain performance goals, or square off with her manager in a videoconference version of the Thunderdome, pleading her case with a panel of co-workers while her boss argued against her. Jane, who asked that her real name not be used to discuss a personal matter, chose the last one. The employee appeal process is Amazon’s latest experiment in managing its growing workforce of more than 500,000. When it announced the program last year, Amazon acknowledged it had been quick to fire people instead of trying to resolve problems in other ways. Executives recognized that poorly defined roles, dysfunctional teams, and peremptory managers were among the factors that often remained unexamined, according to a person familiar with the matter. Workers facing termination also lacked a forum to discuss such factors, the person says. Amazon is borrowing a page from union grievance processes that don’t apply to most corporate employees. But only about 30 percent of those who appeal their manager’s criticisms prevail, meaning they can keep their jobs or seek new ones within the company with different bosses, according to people familiar with the matter. Eighteen months after its debut, the hearing process has created resentment and raised questions about fairness, according to current and former workers as well as attorneys familiar with their situations. “It’s a kangaroo court,” says George Tamblyn, a Seattle employment lawyer who helped one former Amazon worker plan her appeal earlier this year. “My impression of the process is it’s totally unfair.”)

Bruce Rauner and attorney general candidate Erika Harrold were among the statewide candidates working the crowd in the sweltering heat, but the largest group of political marchers was backing U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, who is in a tough reelection fight. The Republicans were followed by a small contingent of marchers supporting Democratic candidates.)

— Inside Facebook and Twitter’s secret meetings with Trump aides and conservative leaders – Tony Romm (DIERSEN: Who are the conservative leaders in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, and in your municipality? How often do they publish articles on their websites in support of the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform? Who reads their articles? Who reads their emails?)
http://www.dailyherald.com/business/20180630/inside-facebook-and-twitters-secret-meetings-with-trump-aides-and-conservative-leaders
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twitter and Facebook are scrambling to assuage conservative leaders who have sounded alarms — and sought to rile voters — with accusations that the country’s tech giants are censoring right-leaning posts, tweets and news. From secret dinners with conservative media elite to private meetings with the Republican National Committee, the new outreach reflects tech giants’ delicate task: satisfying a party in power while defending online platforms against attacks that threaten to undermine the public’s trust in the web. . . . To address the allegations, Dorsey has tried to break bread — quite literally — with his company’s critics. The Twitter executive convened a rare private dinner with Republican leaders and conservative commentators in Washington last week at Cafe Milano, a familiar Georgetown haunt for city power brokers, according to four people who participated in the dinner but requested anonymity because it was off the record. The gathering came weeks after Dorsey invoked conservatives’ ire by tweeting a story suggesting voters should elect Democrats in November — and after he made his first official visit to Congress. Among those attending the June 19 dinner were Mercedes Schlapp, a top communications adviser for Trump; Grover Norquist, the leader of Americans for Tax Reform; Greta Van Susteren, a right-leaning host on MSNBC; and Guy Benson, a Fox News commentator, according to the people in the room. Dorsey hoped to use the dinner as a way to build “trust” among conservatives who have long chastised the company, three of the people said. He defended Twitter against accusations that it targeted right-leaning users unfairly but still admitted that the company has room for improvement, according to the attendees. In response, the Twitter executive heard an earful from conservatives gathered at the table, who scoffed at the fact that Dorsey runs a platform that’s supposed to be neutral even though he’s tweeted about issues like immigration, gay rights and national politics. They also told Dorsey that the tech industry’s efforts to improve diversity — after years of criticism for maintaining a largely white, male workforce — should focus on hiring engineers with more diverse political viewpoints as well, according to those who dined with him in Washington. A spokesman for Twitter declined to comment on the dinner.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Sam’s a sham – Editorial
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/2018-06-27/editorial-sams-sham.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The only people happier that McCann to see him enter the contest between Republican incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrat J.B. Pritzker are Democrats who hope that McCann, a nominal Republican, will draw enough votes from Rauner to give Pritzker the win. The Democratic Governors Association issued a statement gloatingly predicting that McCann’s candidacy will draw hard-line conservatives from the GOP, further complicating Rauner’s efforts to unify the party behind him. “Just when he needs to turn to the general election, Bruce Rauner will have to keep refighting the battles of the primary,” said DGA Illinois communications director Sam Salustro. McCann, who is running as a representative of a new Conservative Party, indicated that he’s running as a proponent of gun rights and lower taxes. To hear him talk, he’s a proud conservative ideologue. But that’s just rhetoric. McCann is running — and he knows he’s running — to ensure the defeat of Rauner, with whom he has publicly crossed swords, and the election of Pritzker. . .Second, Rauner has alienated conservatives, particularly with his decision to sign legislation providing taxpayer-funded abortions. He barely won the primary against little-known state Rep. Jeanne Ives, who challenged Rauner from the right. Whether Rauner can get those conservatives back remains undetermined. He keeps reminding them that he’s all that stands between them and complete Democratic control of the state. But ideologues of both the right and left can’t bear any candidate who, in their view, double-crosses them on even a single issue. In that sense, McCann’s candidacy is a direct consequence of Gov. Rauner’s own actions, a hurdle that he unintentionally created and one that will be difficult to overcome.)

 

DECATUR DAILY
— Creating a compassionate and workable immigration policy – Franklin Johnson, Falkville (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want cheap labor.)

(FROM THE LETTER: I don’t know how you can do it. You continue to frame the immigration crisis as a struggle between persecuted families yearning for a better life opposed by hard-hearted white nativists determined to maintain racial purity. Right before your eyes, elements of both political parties are trying to impose slavery — not legal slavery, but economic and political slavery on a whole class of people. They talk humanity, but their purpose is profit and control: 1. Cheap labor from people who won’t or can’t complain; 2. A servant class who can be manipulated because of their lack of education and their dependence. You deny that you are in favor of open borders, yet you oppose any workable effort to stanch the flow: a wall, zero tolerance, moratoriums, and most of all, deportation for those who broke the law getting here as a deterrent. Your idea of immigration reform is amnesty for all who will take a token pledge. You appear not to be concerned about what happens to children who arrive here unescorted. They vanish from their foster homes, and you don’t consider what hells are being imposed on them as they’re scattered through the country. You refuse to say how many new immigrants is enough and you oppose setting standards for those we accept. You quote Emma Lazarus, but you don’t recognize that immigration was once a controlled process. You try to shame us for opposing this travesty while ignoring the results on the Americans impacted. Speak up. Line it out. What is your idea of a compassionate and workable immigration policy without the platitudes, histrionics, and tear-jerking?)

GOVERNOR RAUNER
— A beautiful Sunday to celebrate Pride Day in Chicago! (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the future looks bleak for those who support the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. To promote LGBTQ activity is to dump those voters who support the traditional family plank in the IRP platform. To promote abortion is to dump those voters who support the right to life plank in the IRP platform. To promote illegal immigration is to dump those voters who support the immigration plank in the IRP platform. Ever-increasingly, Rauner seems to promise that if he is reelected, he will drive those who support the aforesaid planks out of the IRP once and for all, that is, that he will destroy the IRP once and for all. If Rauner is reelected, he will dump those who support the aforesaid planks. If Rauner is not reelected, he will blame those who support the aforesaid planks.)

Republicans also are encouraging House candidates to focus on local issues instead of the latest national headlines.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-abortion-medicaid-taxpayer-funded-illinois-20180523-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner outraged his party’s conservative base by signing the legislation in September. Then in the March primary he narrowly defeated challenger Jeanne Ives, a state lawmaker whose televised campaign ad featured a young woman thanking the governor “for making all Illinois families pay for my abortions.” Anti-abortion organizations along with some Republican lawmakers sued to block the measure and, after a judge dismissed their case, appealed to the Illinois State Supreme Court in February. The suit is pending. “The fact that the government is using taxpayer money to fund abortion is reprehensible to me,” said Tim Moore, president of Springfield Right to Life, one of the plaintiffs. “I’m subsidizing an immoral act. I’m subsidizing the culture of death. The government, which is supposed to protect life, is willfully taking part in the slaughter of innocents.”)

My Democrat IRS superiors not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
