— How much further? – Michael J. Bahr, Springfield
https://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20190204/letter-how-much-further
(FROM THE LETTER: How much further will Illinois go to become the “most progressive state” on abortion, as Gov. J.B. Pritzker has declared? The Illinois governor was certainly proud to take the lead as most progressive by funding abortions using taxpayer dollars. Yet Pritzker was quickly overshadowed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who signed a bill allowing abortions up to nine months and removing other legal protections for the unborn. For this, Cuomo earned thunderous applause from the state’s legislative body, and even New York Cardinal Dolan is afraid to excommunicate Cuomo. Then Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam defended the killing of a child after the child was born that would have been allowed by a bill proposed in his state’s legislature, but then clarified his statement to indicate that he was talking about children who had been born with severe abnormalities or for reasons of the mother’s mental health in the 40th week, as if that makes it acceptable to kill any child that has been born. What will Gov. Pritzker do to maintain IL as the “most progressive state”? Infanticide up to 2 years old, for any reason? Abortion has always been about killing the infants. That should be obvious to all who have been watching these states try to “one-up” each other to become the most progressive. The good people of Illinois must stand up against this evil.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— With Northam Picture, Obscure Publication (Big League Politics) Plays Big Role in Virginia Politics – Trip Gabriel and Michael M. Grynbaum (DIERSEN: With only the rarest of exceptions, everything in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and on www.gopillinois.com is already in the public realm. Nevertheless, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout out of both sides of their crooked mouths both a) that no one reads my emails or visits my website and b) that everyone firsts learns of everything from my emails and from my website.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/us/politics/northam-fairfax-big-league-politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Big League Politics is a relatively new entry to the constellation of right-wing media outlets that sprung up during Donald Trump’s rise, and until the bombshell yearbook report, its readership had remained small. Patrick Howley, the editor in chief, said he received the photograph showing a pair of figures in blackface and Ku Klux Klan robes from a “concerned citizen,” declining to add more details. But one of Big League Politics’s owners, Noel Fritsch, described the source of the photograph as “some people who were classmates of Northam,” who brought it to light out of anger at the governor’s remarks early last week defending late-term abortions. In its mission statement, Big League Politics purports to be “not conservative” and “not liberal,” but it has trafficked in conspiracy theories favored by the far right, like the case of Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staff member whose murder in Washington was falsely seized on by conservative commentators as linked to WikiLeaks.)

He had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease) when he was in high school, and so did I. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20 and I had partial red/green color blindness.)
https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/donald-trump-wouldnt-son-barron-playing-football
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump says he wouldn’t steer son Barron toward football, saying it’s “a dangerous sport,” but also wouldn’t stand in the way if the soccer-playing 12-year-old wanted to put on pads. The NFL fan tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview taped before the Super Bowl that football is “really tough.” He says equipment, including helmets, has improved “but it hasn’t solved the problem.” Trump thinks the NFL “is a great product.” But as for Barron playing, the president calls it a “very tough question.”)

— Jeb Bush Praises Donald Trump’s Boost for H-1B Outsourcing Program – Neil Munro (DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, employers want to hire citizens of foreign countries rather than citizens of America because citizens of foreign countries are much easier to exploit.)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/02/jeb-bush-praises-donald-trumps-boost-for-h-1b-outsourcing-program/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “New H-1B rules would result in up to 5,340 more immigrants with a master’s degree or higher getting selected for a visa,” Jeb Bush tweeted February 1. “A good change in policy.” Bush’s endorsement is a problem for Trump, who ran against Bush’s pro-Wall Street policies. In the 2016 campaign, Bush promised to jump-start economic growth for investors by accelerating the inflow of foreign consumers and workers. In contrast, Trump promised to help voters by reforming the immigration system and visa worker programs. On his Inauguration Day, Trump announced his policy of “Hire American.” The “Hire American” policy has successfully pushed down the arrival of migrants and refugees and is forcing employers to hire and pay Americans at higher rates than ever before. In 2018, for example, wages rose by 3 percent, putting Trump on track to raise wages by a huge 10 percent during his first term. The policy is also helping his electoral base — wages for several categories of blue-collar workers rose quickly while wages in the critical Minneapolis region rose by 5.2 percent. But Trump’s “Hire American” policy has not helped the many professional, college-educated Americans who are losing jobs and careers to a flood of government-subsidized visa workers imported from Indian and Chinese colleges. In November 2018, many of GOP-leaning American college voters backed Democratic candidates instead of Trump’s GOP allies. The foreign visa workers arrive via numerous visa programs, including the H-1B, OPT, CPT, L-1, TN, E-3, J-1, H4EAD, and O-1 programs. The huge annual inflow keeps an army of roughly 1.5 million visa-workers in U.S.-based jobs. Most of the visa workers will work long hours for low wages because they hope to get hugely valuable green cards for themselves — and their extended family — from the federal government. This flood of foreign labor aids investors by lowering salaries for Americans graduates, many of whom need decent salaries to pay down their college debts, to buy homes, and to get their own children to get into college.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Schuler said because of staff shortages, teachers often are asked to substitute internally or assume extra responsibilities as coaches or activity sponsors. Annual contractual raises for longtime teachers accompanied by the stipends from the added work can put teachers over the 3 percent threshold, causing a district to face penalties, he said. Districts can’t tell veteran teachers to stop taking on extra work because that would be age discrimination, and he said often school districts don’t know when teachers are retiring because they don’t give several years’ notice. The District 200 leader said he’s willing to sit down with legislators to help come up with a system in which districts aren’t penalized in those instances.)

— Rep. Davis hears Lincoln Home workers’ shutdown stories- Bernard Schoenburg (DIERSEN: What stories about you do/did your U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators what to hear from you? Because of the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my stories about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html). My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They knew that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in political affiliation discrimination.)

https://www.theherald-news.com/2019/01/31/underwood-casten-call-for-irs-to-help-with-local-tax-burden/a95ddu4/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Lauren Underwood, D-Naperville, and Rep. Sean Casten, D-Downers Grove, are urging the Internal Revenue Service to address what they call the disproportionate tax burden on Illinois taxpayers due to the changes in the law, which limit the state and local tax deduction, according to a news release. Underwood and Casten wrote a letter expressing their concern about IRS efforts being “insufficient.” “Illinoisans are already facing higher federal taxes due to the Republican tax law, which places a uniquely large burden on middle-class families in the Illinois 6th and 14th Congressional Districts,” Underwood and Casten wrote in the letter. The representatives argued the law limited the state and local tax deduction to just $10,000 for individuals and families. They called that part of the law a “devastating financial blow to many.”)

— The Argument Against Illegal Immigration No One Wants to Make – Annine Madok
https://www.amgreatness.com/2019/01/30/the-argument-against-illegal-immigration-no-one-wants-to-make/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell This is the same sentiment shared by 90 percent of the well-heeled, white, liberal Democrats in my suburban Southern California community, as well as the few remaining well-heeled Republicans. Illegals are here, and we can afford to employ them because they are a source of cheap, domestic labor. Our nannies, gardeners and housekeepers could all be here illegally. We don’t ask and don’t care. Because they are trapped. Same goes for the dishwashers, busboys, car wash employees and day laborers we hire without batting an eye. We don’t ask and they don’t tell. We give them a job, without a green card, and pay them less—often significantly less—than what we would have to pay someone here legally. We also trap them into an employment cycle from which there is no upward mobility and no escape. It didn’t start out this way. This underclass showed up at our southern border, slipped through a dilapidated piece of chain mail, and sighed a happy sigh. They were in the land of milk and honey! Sorry folks, not so fast.)

Why didn’t I reject their “offer?” They had made it very clear that if I did not take their “offer,” they would completely destroy me. They had given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they had not promoted me beyond GS-13, they gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, they had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and they had forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They and I knew that because of the pro-patronage position that Republican elected officials in Illinois had in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois, Republican elected officials in Illinois would not come to my defense.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Lawmakers yesterday took part in sexual harassment training that was described as intense. It prompted chatter all day long about what’s appropriate in the comfy confines of the Capitol. It’s not OK, for example, to greet colleagues with a hug or kiss without their permission. The no-touching rule touched off a debate among lawmakers who see their colleagues as friends. For some, a hug and peck on the cheek are how you say hello. A woman legislator, though, said it really shouldn’t be so difficult to say “Do you mind if I hug you?” The discussion was moderated by an investigator for the Illinois Department of Human Rights, according to one attendee. Fresham Democratic Rep. Anne Stava-Murray, who has been a lightning rod on the issue, attended the training and took part in discussions. “It was worth it to be the voice in the room that said the things that needed to be said,” she told POLITICO. Stava-Murray previously said she was “forcibly kissed” by a lawmaker at a gathering for freshman legislators. Tuesday’s sexual harassment training was instituted after the #MeToo movement hit the statehouse. Among some incidents: Tim Mapes, former chief of staff to Mike Madigan, was fired after a state employee accused him of sexual harassment. – Shia Kapos

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— TRAGIC: Gone, baby, gone – Timothy P. Carney
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/gone-baby-gone
(FROM THE ARTICLE: American women have averaged fewer and fewer babies every year this decade, and the latest numbers show the biggest drop yet. The total fertility rate in 2017 fell to 1.7655 babies per woman of childbearing age. The replacement level is 2.1. The number of babies born has been falling every year since 2007. Without immigration, America would be dying off. What’s the cause? Health writers at NBC News explained the drop and regional variations by pointing to “women with more education,” “the growth of sex education in the schools,” and “the passage of the Affordable Care Act,” which by expanding Medicaid “would have impacted access to family planning services.” In other words, NBC News sees the birth dearth as a story of progress and policy. In truth, however, it is a story of culture and decline. Women are having fewer babies largely because America is abandoning the institution of marriage, from which babies typically arise. Only half of all adults are married, down from 72 percent in 1960. Some of that is because college-educated people tend to delay marriage until they are older. But most of the slump is because working-class people either do not stay married or else don’t marry at all. Only half of working-class, 40-year-old women are married, compared to 85 percent in 1960. This isn’t making parenthood disappear. There are an increasing number of babies born to unmarried, working-class women. So much for the efficacy of “sex education in the schools.” Unmarried women without a college degree are disproportionately likely to have only one child. So the problem — it certainly is a problem, even though NBC News won’t tell you so — is that the culture which nurtures children is falling apart. Community strength is collapsing among the working class, as Charles Murray documented in his book, Coming Apart. If communities are not strong, getting married and having a family are less desirable and less achievable. It takes a village, after all, to raise a child. Utah, which is famously communal in its culture, is one of only two states where the birth rate is above replacement rate. Throw in falling wages for working-class men, interminable education among elites, and you get a country with less marriage, less sex, fewer families, and fewer babies. Hardly progress.)

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/oracles-college-recruiting-bias-case-highlights-risks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Corporate recruiting and college campuses are such a natural combination, what could possibly go wrong? A number of workers—and the federal government—say some employers use it as a way to exclude minorities and older people. Oracle Corp. is being sued by the Labor Department’s contractor watchdog, which alleges that the tech giant discriminated against minorities when hiring recent college and university graduates. Hewlett Packard and PricewaterhouseCoopers face similar claims, related to possible age bias over their recruiting practices, brought by private parties. Recruiting on college campuses is perfectly legal, if done correctly, according to management and plaintiffs’ attorneys. But as these cases show, the displacement of certain groups is a legal problem, even if it’s only an unintended consequence of the recruiting. Meanwhile the Seventh Circuit has thrown a wrench into the issue—at least in the Midwest—by holding that only employees, not job applicants, are protected against the unintentional effects of neutral recruitment practices. Seemingly Neutral, but Problematic The complaint against Oracle alleges that the company “strongly preferred hiring Asian recent college graduates,” resulting in a refusal to hire “more than 100 qualified, non-Asian, applicants.”)

DAILY HERALD
— Lawmaker’s outrageous slur is no way to foster discussion of race – Editorial (DIERSEN: Are you a Trump supporter? Soon, Trump-haters will call you a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. What are you doing to prepare for that? Suggestions include always wearing a body camera when you leave your home and keeping it turned on. From what I see, Trump-haters are most likely to attack their Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captain. If your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain was attacked by Trump-haters, how strongly would the following come to your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain’s defense: a) the officers of your Republican township, ward, and county party organizations, b) your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, c) the IRP officers, d) the IRP National Committeeman, and e) the IRP National Committeewoman? I should write a book about the aforesaid in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who despise if not hate Trump and would NOT come to my defense if I was attacked by Trump-haters.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190128/editorial-lawmakers-outrageous-slur-is-no-way-to-foster-discussion-of-race
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The unfortunate thing about state Rep. Anne Stava-Murray’s description of her hometown as “white supremacist” is less how wrong and irresponsible the characterization is than how destructive it is to a conversation that needs to continue. In an interview last week with the Daily Herald’s Marie Wilson, the Naperville Democrat doubled down on a Facebook post that attracted broad criticism, insisting that long-dead policies and practices in “the whole Chicago region” justify claiming that today we see “white supremacy in an unclad kind of way, without its hood on” in contemporary policies and attitudes. Her comments, let us state flatly, are patently offensive and outrageously exaggerated. Whatever racial inequities and prejudices exist in Naperville or any other Chicago suburb, they cannot remotely be compared to the openly hostile and vile actions and behaviors of a misguided subset of white Americans who espouse ignorant claims of racial superiority and urge separation from and subjugation of other races. That she does not recognize the insult in her remark and believes “starting a conversation” justifies it is a bitter reflection on the quality of her own judgment and a worrisome suggestion about her own ability to operate effectively as a leader in her community.)

She worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/u-s-league-of-savings-institutions.asp) which had quarterly meetings at luxury destinations across America which she attended as its Corporate Secretary. I routinely accompanied her on those trips. Often, after the meetings were over, we visited nearby national parks. Needless-to-say, my envy-filled IRS and GAO Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious. Overwhelmingly, their spouses had little or no income. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976.)

— Pritzker places state employees on correct step pay plan (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents were furious when I got step increases, COLAs, and promotions while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. They wanted those increases, COLAs, and promotions to be given to them, to Democrats, to minorities, to females, to those who were younger than me, and to veterans.)

ALBANY TIMES UNION
— Meet the three women who married Donald Trump – Joe Avella (DIERSEN: Many of my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were not married, had marital problems, were divorced, and/or had spouses who had no income, savings, or job skills. They were furious when I got married in 1978. They had painted me as being some who no woman would marry. They were even more furious that my wife had income, savings, and a good job.)

WATERBURY REPUBLICAN AMERICAN
— Age discrimination eyed Proposed bill would protect applicants from unfair vetting – AP (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. Those who hate past, present, and future federal employees and retirees use the federal government’s up-or-out policy to viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn past, present, and future federal employees and retirees who did not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40 as being lazy, stupid, bad, and even worse things. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who hate past, present, and future federal employees and retirees the most.)
https://www.rep-am.com/local/news-local/2019/01/28/age-discrimination-eyed/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic lawmakers are proposing to prohibit employers from inquiring about the dates of a job applicant’s birth and graduation. A group of 25 House Democrats is sponsoring the legislation with the stated aim of reducing age discrimination in job hiring. “This bill will make a real difference for seniors who are being unfairly vetted based on their age,” said Rep. Derek Slap, D-West Hartford, a lead sponsor. The Labor and Public Employees Committee is scheduled to vote this afternoon to set a hearing date for House Bill 6113 and five other bills. A state law enacted last year bars Connecticut employers from asking job applicants about how much previous jobs paid them without a job offer being made that includes wages. It took effect this month.)
