GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OUTSTANDINGLY, 19 REPUBLICANS ARE HELPING SPONSOR WHEATON’S INDEPENDENCE DAY FIREWORKS AND PARADE! Illinois Republican Party leader and Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar has contributed $500, Judge Jeff MacKay has contributed $250, and DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner Tim Whelan have contributed $150. Bob Berlin, Dan Cronin, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Marty Keller, Deanne Mazzochi, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Kevin Wiley, and Karen Wilson have each contributed $100.

 

As the $2,500 Star sponsor, DuPage County Republicans get credit for sponsoring the Tunes of Glory bagpipers and the Wheaton North and South High School band entries in the parade. DuPage Republicans will again have a booth at the fireworks the evening before the parade. I have hand delivered flyers to residences on the parade route, including Main Street and two blocks east and west of Main Street south of Harrison Street, and businesses that lists the Republican entries in the parade, the Republican sponsors, and the amount that they contributed. The flyers were printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics.

 

Republican entries in the parade are Peter Roskam, Peter Breen, Paul Hinds, James Mendrick, Grant Eckhoff/Tim Elliott/Chris Zaruba, Jeff McKay, Karen Wilson, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC). According to reports, Amy Grant and Jeanne Ives will walk with the Breen entry and Evelyn Sanguinetti and Erika Harold will walk with the MTRCC entry.

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Rauner running uphill as Democrats await sure win – Jim Dey (DIERSEN: In Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, in Glen Ellyn, and in Wheaton, anti-conservatives have always blamed conservatives for losses that Republicans have suffered.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/2018-07-03/jim-dey-rauner-running-uphill-democrats-await-sure-win.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. Bruce Rauner, who barely escaped an embarrassing defeat in the March primary, needs a united Republican Party behind him if he’s going to defeat his well-heeled Democratic opponent, J.B. Pritzker, in the November election. But that is looking more and more difficult. As time passes, estranged conservatives appear more determined to see Rauner lose and Pritzker win. Two recent events demonstrate the problem Rauner has. Conservative state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton almost ended Rauner’s dream of a second four-year term in the primary. Rauner received just 51 percent of the primary vote to 49 percent for Ives. Despite that, some Republican leaders hoped that Ives might be persuaded to support Rauner in the general election. After all, if Pritzker wins, Democrats will regain total control of state government and her political party will be relegated to the irrelevant status it endured from 2003 to 2015, when the GOP captured the governor’s office. But time has not healed the sting of defeat for Ives. Asked last week about her intentions, an embittered Ives indicated there is no way she’ll endorse Rauner. “No. I’m not going to endorse the governor. I’m going to let him buy back his voters,” she said. Ives’ differences with Rauner are strictly ideological. A social conservative, she deeply resented Rauner’s decision to sign legislation authorizing taxpayer-funded abortions. Ives is not alone, as demonstrated by the strong support she received in the primary. To make matters worse for Rauner, there’s state Sen. Sam McCann of Plainview. He’s masquerading as a conservative disenchanted with Rauner. But for him, this is strictly business.)

— Republicans fret about cash (will RAUNER help out? – Dhia Kapos

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican candidates running for the state assembly are fretting about campaign coffers that seem bare. They wonder if/when Gov. Bruce Rauner will give another infusion. He donated $50,000 to the state Republican Party last month. GOP incumbents recognize the governor is in a high-stakes battle for his own office. “For every dollar Bruce puts in his campaign, J.B. Pritzker is putting in $2,” noted one GOP lawmaker, referring to Rauner’s billionaire Democratic opponent. The governor might not want to encourage the tit for tat. Another lawmaker says Republicans are bracing for a possible Blue Wave and know the only thing that can save them is cash. A source above the fray, however, tells me Rauner has every intention of donating to the legislators’ campaign fund. “It’s only the beginning of July (for crying out loud). The governor is 100 percent committed.” Rauner apparently is working to get others to donate, too. The Numbers: According to the Illinois Sunshine election database, the Illinois Republican Party has $509,000 available. There are 118 House seats up for grabs and 39 Senate seats. Lawmakers hope to see a cash infusion in the next 30 days or so. That’s a few weeks before campaign season really kicks in.)

— 7 WAYS TO UPHOLD TRUE PATRIOTISM Rita Dunaway asks if Americans today are failing ‘the grand experiment’
http://www.wnd.com/2018/07/7-ways-to-uphold-true-patriotism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Those of us who really love America and all our flag represents should reflect on those questions this week of Independence Day. Our nation’s illustrious history cannot sustain a real and lasting patriotism forever. We must move beyond superficial displays and emotional song lyrics, and apply some tough love to our long-neglected nation. Here are some immediate steps to take: Commit yourself first and foremost to the God who endowed us with unalienable rights and who defines Truth and Justice. Champion the integrity of marriage and the family – especially your own. Strong families make strong nations. Reread the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Remember that the purpose of government is to protect the rights of the people and administer justice (not to redistribute wealth or provide for its citizens’ needs and wants) and that the federal government is limited to those powers specifically named in the Constitution. Support only public policies that adhere to these precepts. Vote only for candidates who demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to these principles. Practice and promote private charity. Promote the use of the Constitution’s own mechanism (in Article V) for making needed clarifications or adjustments to the Constitution and restoring the delicate balance of power it prescribes. Learn more at www.conventionofstates.com. Let’s make America’s present and future – not just her past – worthy of the well-founded admiration and honor that characterize true patriotism.)

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.)

My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates at IRS 1971-1980 scoffed at my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, my taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, and coworkers at the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969 scoffed at my taking college courses at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

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.)

Denny Heck, of Washington, is helping lead the Democrat’s effort to pick up the 23 seats needed to regain control of the House. He said trash talking Trump will only go so far. 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.”)

— Where is the Republican primary strength in your township? It definitely is in the west side of DuPage County’s Milton Township. In the March 20, 2018 Republican primary, of the township’s 130 precincts, of its 73 precincts on its west side, 40 were RED (between 35.5% and 17.8% of registered voters cast Republican ballots), 19 were YELLOW (between 17.6% and 13.2%), and 14 were BLUE (between 13.2% and 1.1%). Of its 57 precincts on its east side, only 3 were RED (between 35.5% and 17.8%), 25 were YELLOW (between 17.6% and 13.2%), and 29 were BLUE (between 13.2% and 1.1%). – Dave Diersen

DAILY HERALD
— Smart strategies to buy a home in a tight market – Marilyn Kennedy Melia (DIERSEN: What would discourage you from buying a particular home? For me, it would include knowing that my neighbors would be 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, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. What percent of those in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois 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, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time? In my precinct, in the 2016 general election, 211 voted for Clinton while only 137 voted for Trump. In the 2016 primary election, 93 voted for Kasich while only 21 voted for Trump. However, in the March 20 primary election, 68 voted for Ives, while only 43 voted for Rauner, and only 15 of Milton Township’s 130 precincts had a higher percentage Republican turnout – 122 (22.2%) of the precinct’s 504 registered voters cast Republican ballots. Further, the precincts to the east, southeast, southwest, and west all had high Republican turnouts in the March 20 primary election. Jeanne Ive’s Precinct 65 to the east had a 24.9% turnout, Robert Jacobsen’s Precinct 25 where Roskam lives to the southeast had a 24.1% Republican turnout, Beth Tatro’s Precinct 130 to the southwest had a 33.5% Republican turnout, and Ron Menna’s Precinct 85 to the west had a 21.8% Republican turnout.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: That was made clear during last weekend’s Republican Party of Iowa state convention, attended by roughly 1,200 party activists, leaders and elected officials. State party chairman Jeff Kaufmann devoted much of his remarks to the campaign for governor, but also rallied the crowd to express their support for the president. Kaufmann asked the crowd to show whether they support Trump, and nearly everyone in the building stood and cheered. “Keep it up, President Trump,” Kaufmann yelled during his typically fiery speech. Kaufmann told the crowd he realizes some of Trump’s tweets “make you pause,” but said Trump must use Twitter to communicate to his supporters.)

TOWNHALL
— Trump Valiantly Tried to Save America – Ilana Mercer
https://townhall.com/columnists/ilanamercer/2018/06/23/trump-valiantly-tried-to-save-america-n2493448
(FROM THE ARTICLE: By now most Americans, for or against, get the idea. All an individual or family need do to live in America, and off the avails of the American taxpayer, is to arrive at an approved port of entry and “lodge a legal claim to stay.” That’s it. The same understanding animates an entire, parasitical industry that has arisen to coach the claimants in their claims-making. The refugee and illegal-migrant racket sprung-up on the backs of the American people is Third World cronyism at its best. “The Trump administration plans to pay a Texas nonprofit nearly half a billion dollars, this year, to care for immigrant children who were detained crossing the U.S. border illegally, reports Bloomberg.” Did you vote for that? Brazen border-crossers “rarely hide from border agents,” for they know the rules of the game are that there aren’t any rules. Not for them, not for the lawless. The law-abiding pay. The profits from the immigration industry, material and political, are privatized; the costs are socialized. It has taken a president, in the person of Donald J. Trump, and his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, to expose for all to see a shameful, likely irreversible, fact: American birthright has been frittered away for a mess of pottage. In exchange for throwing America open to The World, Americans get crime, poverty, unemployment, depressed wages; environmental despoliation; overburdened public services, and zero comity and harmony across their communities. Or, more like hate. For to oppose this transformative political give-away is to be branded a hater and be hounded, at home, by a Fifth Column of values-enforcers. There’s no finessing it. This selling of the patrimony and heritage of Americans is theft, plain and simple. There is no hiding it. Peddling of stolen goods for political favors is the handiwork of political representatives, of legislators. Through legislative sleight-of-hand and international treaty making American politicians have incrementally robbed a people of their national and territorial sovereignty, as well as their shared identity.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Republicans ignore Trump, keep pushing to pass immigration reform – Susan Ferrechio (DIERSEN: If you claim to be a Republican, but you oppose E-Verify, you shout that you are a RINO who has been bought off by employers who want cheap labor. If you claim to be Republican, but you want “a more inclusive and easier pathway to citizenship for Dreamers,” you shout that you are a Democrat.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/republicans-ignore-trump-keep-pushing-to-pass-immigration-reform
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans say negotiations now center on whether to add E-Verify and an immigrant agriculture program into the legislation, and many are hoping for a vote next week. Many conservatives have been clamoring for the bill to include a provision mandating employers use E-Verify to ensure new hires are legal. “It might be a difference maker,” Cole said. Meanwhile, an agriculture or “guest worker” program would attract votes from lawmakers whose districts rely on immigrant farm workers. . .The 41 GOP “no” votes were cast mostly by moderates who wanted a more inclusive and easier pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, who came illegally as children. The measure was authored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. It would provide legal status for about 700,000 Dreamers and offered a much more difficult pathway to citizenship. Conservatives say the leadership should simply take the Goodlatte bill and make a few changes to attract moderates, such as expanding the pathway to citizenship to all 1.8 million people who fit the Dreamer category. The Goodlatte measure, which is co-authored by Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, includes both E-Verify and a guest worker program. It ends chain migration, the diversity visa lottery program, and authorizes border wall funding.)

Anti-Whites demonize, denigrate, and condemn individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2018/06/21/us-white-population-declines-and-generation-z-plus-is-minority-white-census-shows/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: he U.S. Census Bureau’s release of race and age statistics for 2017 points to two noteworthy milestones about the nation’s increasingly aging white and growing diverse population. First, for the first time since the Census Bureau has released these annual statistics, they show an absolute decline in the nation’s white non-Hispanic population—accelerating a phenomenon that was not projected to occur until the next decade. Second, the new numbers show that for the first time there are more children who are minorities than who are white, at every age from zero to nine. This means we are on the cusp of seeing the first minority white generation, born in 2007 and later, which perhaps we can dub Generation “Z-Plus.”)

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION
— Rauner Asked if He Was Getting Ives Endorsement… 93 Days after Primary (DIERSEN: To promote LGBTQ activity is to a) reject those who voted for Ives and b) pander to those who will never vote for a Republican. Ever-increasingly, Rauner is running as an anti-Republican.)
https://democraticgovernors.org/news/rauner-asked-if-he-was-getting-ives-endorsement-93-days-after-primary/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yesterday, Governor Bruce Rauner appeared on WJBC and was asked, “How important would an endorsement from Jeanne Ives be for you?” That’s right. It’s been more than three months since the primary, and just when candidates want to turn their attention to the general election, Rauner is still dealing with his fractured party. On WJBC, Rauner once again claimed he’s “reached out” to Ives, something he’s said before that was found not to be true. Who else is Rauner calling to reunite the party? None other than Rauner’s previous headache and Roy Moore’s biggest backer, Dick Uihlein. “It seems that time doesn’t heal all wounds as Bruce Rauner has failed to put his party back together after three months,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “It’s clear Jeanne Ives and her supporters have not forgiven Rauner for his lies and failures.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pritzker is responding to Rauner’s property-tax attack — and the out-of-touch criticism — with an ad of his own that references a 2013 Chicago Tribune story detailing the Republican governor’s ownership of nine homes. The properties include a 6,870-square-foot mansion on a half-acre lot in Winnetka; two units, including a penthouse, in a luxury high-rise overlooking Millennium Park; a waterfront villa in the Florida Keys with a 72-foot-long pool; ranches in Montana and Wyoming; a condo in an upscale Utah ski resort; and a penthouse overlooking Central Park in New York. “Bruce Rauner owns nine homes and he’s appealed his property taxes 22 times, but now he’s attacking someone else for the same thing? Now that’s bad,” a narrator says.)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-world-work-olderworkers/companies-need-older-workers-here-is-why-idUSKBN1JH15F
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination, while difficult to prove, persists. Yet research over the past decade has gone a long way toward debunking stereotypes about older workers – that they are less productive and energetic, and less able to learn or solve problems. But the bias continues. Forty-one percent of companies around the world surveyed by Deloitte Consulting said they considered aging of their workforces a competitive disadvantage. The finding varied by country.)

— These places will pay U.S. workers thousands of dollars to move there – Danielle Paquette (DIERSEN: Those who are members of Group A make it clear to members of Group B that members of Group B are NOT WELCOME in the precincts, municipalities, townships/wards, counties, states, and counties where members of Group A live. 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 and 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. How many members of Group A live in your precinct? In the 2016 general election, 211 voted for Clinton while only 137 voted for Trump. In the 2016 primary election, 93 voted for Kasich while only 21 voted for Trump. However, in the 2018 primary election, 68 voted for Ives, while only 43 voted for Rauner.)

SEATTLE TIMES
— 8 big career mistakes that new college grads should avoid – Valencia Higuera (DIERSEN: After you earned your bachelor’s degree, did you take a job that did not require a bachelor’s degree? I did. In 1970, when I was 21 years old, after I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, I accepted the only job offer that I got – working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. I was draft bait. Potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship would be granted. Further, employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. 7 months later, after my draft deferment application had been approved, my Firestone boss fired me when I told him that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. IRS offered me the job because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take it.)
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/8-big-career-mistakes-that-new-college-grads-should-avoid/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accepting a bad job College grads shouldn’t expect their first jobs to be their dream jobs, but they also shouldn’t settle for bad jobs. “It’s important to get a job, but it’s also worth waiting if the only offers you have are for jobs outside your field or area of expertise,” said Jim Wang, founder of the money blog Wallet Hacks.)

By then, I had worked for GAO for almost 9 years, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, I had become a licensed CPA in 1981, I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

— Fact-Checkers Are No Longer a Fresh-Faced Movement. They’re Fighting for the Future of the Internet. – Alexios Mantzarlis (DIERSEN: What are your fact checking qualifications? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/news/with-the-press-under-assault-the-stakes-are-too-high-for-journalists-to-fail-on-basic-ethics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Times’ ethics policy states “relationships with sources require the utmost in sound judgment and self-discipline…Clearly, romantic involvement with a news source would foster an appearance of partiality. Therefore staff members who develop close relationships with people who might figure in coverage they provide, edit, package or supervise must disclose those relationships.”)

— Madigan taps Rauner’s former watchdog Maggie Hickey to probe House for ‘failures and mistakes’ – Tina Sfondeles (DIERSEN: In Diersen v. GAO, while Hickey served as Peter Fitzgerald’s Chief of Staff, Fitzgerald appointed both the district court judge, Amy J. St. Eve, and the attorney who represented GAO, Patrick Fitzgerald. All of the aforesaid made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Eve granted Patrick Fitzgerald’s motion to deny me my 7th Amendment rights, that is, to deny me a jury trial. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that Peter Fitzgerald, Hickey, Eve, and Patrick Fitzgerald viewed me as being someone who was lazy, stupid, bad, and even worse things.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/madigan-taps-rauners-former-watchdog-to-probe-house-for-failure-and-mistakes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said Hickey will be paid $500 an hour to conduct the investigation. Brown said the funds will come from the Illinois House operations budget. Brown initially told the Sun-Times there was a cap of $50,000 but later said “the final version of the contract does not have a cap.” . . . When Hickey left Rauner’s administration, the governor said in a statement that “her objectivity and fairness can be a model for public servants.” Hickey helped to lead a health care fraud elimination task force and also led an investigation into the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services that uncovered multiple flaws. Hickey left the administration to join the Schiff Hardin LLP law firm as a partner. Hickey also served as an investigative counsel for a U.S. Senate committee and as the chief of staff for former Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, R-Ill. But as a Rauner political appointee, she was blocked by Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, as well as Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year to replace former U.S. Attorney Zach Fardon in the Northern District of Illinois.)

http://www.breitbart.com/2018-elections/2018/06/17/gop-pr-ryan-amnesty-not-amnesty-you-are-looking-for/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The message tries to downplay the demand by GOP donors for more cheap labor, yet it describes immigration as a tool for business groups and also reveals that Ryan plans to expand the H-2B visa-worker program. Some of the phrases chosen by McMorris Rodgers are even plagiarized from pro-amnesty speeches by President Barack Obama, who also supported cheap-labor immigration.)
— Schumer: Ryan’s Amnesty Bill is ‘Doomed to Fail’ For Cutting Legal Immigration – Neil Munro
http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2018/06/18/schumer-ryan-amnesty-bill-doomed-fail/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: No immigration bill can get through the Senate without support from 60 Senators. That high number means a bill has to be backed by roughly 15 Democratic Senators plus nearly all of the GOP’s cheap-labor caucus, which includes at least 20 Senators out of the 51 GOP members in the Senate. In February, for example, Sen. Susan Collins and eight other GOP Senators pushed a surprise bill that would have provided a priority-amnesty for all 8 million illegal immigrants who are holding jobs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: he most common complaints I hear from readers about Social Security relate to the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions reduce Social Security benefits, and those affected don’t believe they are fair. One class of people affected are those who receive a pension from a job in which they haven’t paid Social Security FICA taxes, such as public-sector workers like police officers and firefighters. Many federal, state and local employees are enrolled in retirement systems that are not part of Social Security. Federal employees hired before 1984 who stayed under Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) are affected. Federal workers who retired under the newer Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) are not subject to WEP because they paid Social Security FICA taxes. Some foreign workers are also affected.)
— Summer job lessons that can last a lifetime – Jill Schlesinger (DIERSEN: What summer jobs did you have? I did yard work and delivered newspapers during the summers of 1962, 1963, and 1964; washed dishes during the summer of 1965; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966; and delivered mail during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.)

— Evergreen Park school board rescinds new principal’s contract following anonymous misconduct allegations – Zak Koeske (DIERSEN: Have you ever had a job offer withdrawn? In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. But of course, my critics/opponents reject that. They hint/imply/argue/shout that Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer because it found out from my Firestone Stores boss that I was a bad person. My Firestone Stores boss did not hire me. His superiors hired me and sent me to his store. He refused to let me report for work at his store unless I passed a 2-week probationary period at the Firestone Store in Gary, Indiana. He disapproved of my demographics – he disapproved of my avoiding the draft, my national origin, and my religion.)
