owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been

long time.) https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/immigration_as_economic_warfare.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
first aspect of this warfare is simple. The government institutes programs that
give special privileges to one group of people in the form of educational
access and benefits, exclusive contracts with the government, quotas within the
job market, and legal protections that are exclusive to those people. While
many of these benefits are subtle, on multigenerational timelines they
effectively destroy the unprotected group while ensuring the success of the
protected group. In addition to this, there is the selective enforcement of
laws and the absolution of some groups from many laws. However, the more
important aspect of this warfare is the collusion of immigrants to exclude
portions of the native population from the economy. This activity has two
facets — exclusion from the market and denial of service.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne criticizes DuPage GOP, announces run
for county board – Erin Hegarty https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-naperville-council-coyne-dupage-county-board-st-0405-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne used a Facebook post early Wednesday to
blast the DuPage County Republican Party and announce his bid to run for the
DuPage County Board in District 5. Posting after Tuesday’s election votes had
been counted, Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne wrote the DuPage County
Republican organization did not do enough to get GOP candidates elected and
said his county board candidacy should be seen as an effort to “stand up for
conservative principals.” “I would say I think the Republican party right now
is really struggling locally, and I hope to add a new voice for GOP voters,”
Coyne said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I hope to be able to offer that
voice on the DuPage County Board.” Coyne said he plans to run in the 2020
county election, pursuing the seat currently held by James Healy, a Naperville
resident who has been on the county board since 1996. Seats held by District 5
board members Sadia Covert and Dawn DeSart are not up for election until 2022.
In his post on his Naperville City Councilman Facebook page, Coyne said the
DuPage GOP had “another embarrassing showing” in the most recent election
cycle. “While the DuPage Democrats’ local leadership organize candidate forums,
canvassing drives and social media initiatives throughout DuPage County, our
DuPage GOP does what it usually does … nothing,” Coyne wrote. “Our once great
DuPage GOP organization has become a shell of its former self. “The DuPage GOP
has successfully handed both our County and the City of Naperville over to the
Illinois’ Democratic Party. I am unwilling to let this stand!” Coyne repeated
the criticism Wednesday. “The party around here was in power for a very long
time and I don’t think ever adapted to the way in which politics has changed.
The results for GOP folks have been very damaging.” Coyne said he made the post
on his official Naperville City Council page because he thought it important to
let people who follow local politics know of his plans to run for the county
board. The post had drawn more than 50 comments as of Wednesday morning, many
criticizing Coyne for talking about partisan politics when the council is
elected as a nonpartisan body. “I will present a platform focused on reducing
the size of government, reducing real estate tax levies and protecting LIFE …
both as a supporter of pro-life initiatives and as a supporter of our
constitutional right to bear arms,” Coyne wrote in the Facebook post. “I look
forward to keeping my supporters abreast of my platform and to fighting for
pro-life and small government reforms in DuPage County,” the post said. “We are
better than what we have shown in recent elections. Republican voters in DuPage
County need someone that will stand up for conservative principals! I ask
conservative voters in DuPage County’s District 5 to give me the chance to be
their voice. Much more to come….”)

Naperville City Council member, unhappy with what he called a lack of
aggression from the DuPage County Republican Organization in recent elections,
took to Facebook early Wednesday to slam the party and announce his candidacy
for DuPage County Board. Kevin Coyne, a business attorney who has served on the
council since 2015, posted on his city council Facebook page that he’s tired of
seeing local Democrats lead candidate forums and social media initiatives while
Republicans stand on the sidelines. “Our once great DuPage GOP
organization has become a shell of its former self,” Coyne wrote around 2
a.m. “It does nothing to support local or State R candidates.” Coyne
said he will offer a new voice and perspective to Republican voters next
November when he runs for the DuPage County Board District 5 seat currently
held by attorney James Healy of Naperville. Healy did not return a call seeking
comment Wednesday. Several of Coyne’s followers were quick to criticize him for
discussing partisan politics while he sits on the historically nonpartisan city
council. Others praised him for taking a stand. Reached Wednesday, Coyne
doubled down on his social media comments. “I think the Republican Party
around here was in place and successful for so long that I just don’t think
they ever had to adapt to the new times with social media,” Coyne said.
“I just think the general manner in which they have been running things is
outdated. They’re not aggressive enough. There’s no outreach and there’s very
few social media posts. We need new energy and life in the party.” DuPage
Republican Chairman Brian Krajewski did not return calls Wednesday.)

city’s first new mayor in 12 years. He will succeed Michael Gresk, who did not

the past four years, he’s voted against raising property taxes “at a time
when the city has consistently underspent its budget, has generated higher than
expected surpluses and has maintained reserves in excess of stated
targets.” On Wednesday, Suess said he believes his record helped him win
the election. “I have been on the council for 14 years,” he said.
“I have been very consistent in my positions over that period of time. I
think our ability to win this election was a reaffirmation of the things we’ve
been doing.”)

half of older U.S. workers are pushed out of their jobs before they plan to
retire – even those who are in steady, long-held positions. Many of these
workers find it difficult or even impossible to get back to their previous
income level, putting their financial health at risk. Some of these individuals
will have to take on new, lower paying positions just to make ends meet,
finding themselves working twice as hard just to make half as much as they did
at their previous positions. Those who have to leave the workforce due to
personal issues that prevent them from taking on new work are faced with the
difficult task of making their already lackluster retirement savings stretch even
thinner. What can older workers do if they find themselves out of a longtime
job they relied on and facing a suddenly uncertain retirement? Let’s look at
some steps you can take in the short and long term to ensure your financial
security. Why Are Americans Being Forced into Retirement? The majority of job
losses among workers over 50 are employer-driven, not due to personal issues
like ailing health. This often comes in the form of layoffs or deteriorating
work conditions that, intentionally or not, subtly edge out these workers.
While age discrimination in the workplace is illegal, it unfortunately does
happen. If you believe you have sufficient evidence that you have been a victim
of age discrimination, you may want to speak with a lawyer. Another reason
workers retire earlier than planned is personal circumstances that prevent them
from continuing work, often due to poor health or having to take care of a
family member, like an ill spouse.)

— Illinois Democrats Offer Relief From Deduction Cap, But Not Repeal Lawmakers
who won GOP-held seats want to increase $10,000 cap on state and local tax
deduction – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap
to $20,000 for married filing jointly.) https://www.wsj.com/articles/illinois-democrats-offer-relief-from-deduction-cap-but-not-repeal-11553805167 (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Republicans imposed the $10,000 cap as part of the 2017 tax law, which also cut
tax rates, doubled the child tax credit and sharply narrowed the alternative
minimum tax. Most taxpayers, even in high-tax states, received tax cuts, but
the cap still proved unpopular with suburban voters. That provision contributed
to GOP election losses in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey,
California and Illinois, where Mr. Casten defeated Rep. Peter Roskam, a chief
author of the tax law.)

Needless-to-say, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious.

They had a) given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) not promoted me beyond GS-13, d) gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.) https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2019/03/24/8-policy-changes-to-let-older-workers-work-longer/#7ee87ad44d94
HARTFORD COURANT
— Despite a good law, age discrimination is still common – JOE CARBONE (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.) https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-carbone-age-discrimination-0324-20190324-5abuapcslbbdhm5xxbr64weo3i-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Research from AARP indicates that nearly two out of three workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job. While few doubt its existence, even skeptics acknowledge that it’s unlike the age discrimination of the past. This class of discrimination is subtle, seemingly invisible — but it has gone viral. There are scores of economists and political leaders who see it as the latest inevitable fallout from the Great Recession. To be fair, technology, for all its benefits, must share some blame. Search engines do the work for you, which sometimes produces hundreds of applicants, which totally overwhelms most human resources departments. Data make it painfully clear that the insidious practice of stereotyping based on age has become a cultural norm — and shamefully, it’s flourishing. When I turned 50, I was shocked to receive a greeting letter from AARP, realizing this marked a new stage in life. Now at age 50, individuals in the job market are subject to a value comparison with younger generations. A common first step in the applicant review process is to determine age without asking. Many times, an unsuspecting job applicant will list their graduation year, use a chronological resume or an email account format that becomes a giveaway for their age. Conventional wisdom in talent search is to go younger. Some employers, perhaps many, assume that millennials will have better tech skills and little to no interest in retirement or even health benefits. So, younger folks have the advantage. This is classic stereotyping, it’s unfair, it’s wrong and it will prove in short order to have been a strategic mistake.)
