CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: POT PUSHERS ARE OVERJOYED: Rauner set to sign medical marijuana expansion bill allowing drug as painkiller alternative – Robert McCoppin
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-medical-marijuana-opioids-illinois-expansion-20180827-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In general, Rauner has opposed expanding the medical marijuana program, but a recent poll showing Pritzker with a large lead may have put pressure on him to support the politically popular measure. In addition, Rauner recently approved other measures requiring insurance coverage for opioid abuse and continuing education for doctors about opioid prescriptions. Kevin Sabet, president of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, opposes the expansion of medical marijuana, warning that it could lead to more addiction, more drivers who are under the influence and more users suffering from the drug’s harmful effects on attention, memory, decision-making and brain development. “From a scientific perspective, it makes no sense,” Sabet said. “The most comprehensive study on the issue was just published in The Lancet and found marijuana didn’t help with pain, nor did it reduce opioid use. “From a political perspective,” Sabet added, “it likely signals he feels pressure from J.B. Pritzker, who has welcomed pot with open arms.” But in states that have legalized medical marijuana, some studies have shown a decrease in opioid prescriptions and in opioid-related overdose deaths. Cannabis remains illegal under federal law.)

DAILY HERALD
— Tollway board sees nothing wrong with dubious hiring – Editorial (DIERSEN: Does the Daily Herald see reasons for skepticism a) after my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) after my Democrat IRS superiors did 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; and c) after my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968? Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal 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. I earned a) 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.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20180828/editorial-tollway-board-sees-nothing-wrong-with-dubious-hiring
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For something is surely amiss somewhere when the tollway cannot see the reasons for skepticism after it selects a person with no engineering experience who has not worked since her job as an office-furniture sales associate 18 years ago but does have a family relationship to a top state political figure ahead of other candidates for a job overseeing engineering contracts.)

Democrats shout at members of the following groups to vote for candidates who will advance their self-interest: 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.)

While the Libertarians who host such “conservative” conferences and summits might want me to promote them, they certainly do not want me to have anything to do with planning them.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE WITH COLOR PICTURE: HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: If you’re marching, someone’s watching – Christopher Borrelli (DIERSEN: My policy has been to deliver Republican literature to all the homes in my precinct that have at least one Republican or one Independent voter. Needless-to-say, if you are a Republican who delivers Republican literature door-to-door, you should assume that Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, RINOs, and other anti-Trumps are watching you very closely, if not recording every move that you make and recording every word that you say. In my precinct, the anti-Trumps (of whom I estimate about 30 are registered Republican voters) watch me very closely when I deliver Republican literature door-to-door and they do everything that they can to discourage me from delivering that literature. Their tactics include closing their garage doors as I approach their homes. One registered Republican voter in my precinct angrily phoned me and demanded that I immediately come back to her home and take back the Republican literature that I had just left on her door. That literature was addressed to both her and to her registered Republican husband.)

— How to plan a debt-free vacation – SEAN PYLES (DIERSEN: Between 1978 and 1992, my wife and I went on many vacations. 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. Further, I went on vacations with a coworker to Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, and Jamaica while I worked for IRS 1973-1976. 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.)

— Keep an old car running and you’ll save a fortune – Peter Dunn (DIERSEN: My not driving my 1972 Corvette has cost me a fortune. D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval radial tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing major damage that ethanol had done to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carburetor was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Maybe the suburbs should secede from the state – Doug Finke

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Cook County, home of Chicago, where downstaters believe all of their tax money ends up, residents paid about $2 billion more in taxes than they got back from the state, the paper found. In the suburbs, people paid more than $4.2 billion more in taxes than they got back. And downstate? They paid about $8 billion in taxes and got $12 billion worth of spending. The paper further separated areas of downstate and determined the central part of the region got back nearly twice as much as it paid in.)

They see that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take an $19,203 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They see that my Democrat IRS superiors did 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. They see that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— Bad blood between McCain and Trump – Anne Gearan and Josh Dawsey (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would shout at McCain that I got four student deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They would shout at McCain that I was able to get those deferments because my parents and I were undeservedly filthy rich. But worse than that, they would shout at McCain that I was a political hypocrite and a coward.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Their increasingly combative relationship has served as a metaphor of sorts for the Republican Party: the former Vietnam POW and “proud conservative” who fell short to Barack Obama in his run for president in 2008 versus the loud draft avoider who rapidly seized control of the GOP and White House eight years later. . .Not long afterward, McCain appeared to take a shot at Trump for avoiding the draft during the Vietnam War. “One aspect of the [Vietnam] conflict by the way that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America, and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur,” McCain said during an interview with CSPAN. McCain did not mention Trump by name, but his meaning appeared clear. Trump received five wartime deferments, including one in which a doctor diagnosed him with bone spurs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A child-support check sent to the wrong ex-wife has given the Libertarian candidate for Illinois governor 30 more days to rectify the late payment. The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that Grayson “Kash” Jackson of Antioch told a judge Wednesday that a third-party online child-support disbursement firm erroneously sent the $3,067 payment to his first ex-wife in North Carolina. Jackson was found in contempt of court in May for refusing to pay his second ex-wife $6,067 in back child support and other education and health care needs. He was ordered to pay the lesser purge fee to stay out of jail. Parental rights have been a key issue in Jackson’s campaign for governor. He says he is unemployed and living on disability payments from a 20-year Navy career.)

They especially used against me the money that I spent to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966 when I was 17 years old, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Chevy Corvette in 1971, a 1962 Chevy Impala SS collector car in 1989, and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T collector car in 1994.)

— QUESTION: What discourages conservatives from attending CPAC and from attending other such “conservative” conferences? ANSWER: Ever-increasingly, such conferences are really Libertarian conferences. Ever-increasingly, such conferences downplay the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. Ever-increasingly, such conferences promote LGBTQ activity, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices. – Dave Diersen

— OUTSTANDING: Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoes immigration rights bills in Illinois’ Trump country – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-bruce-rauner-immigration-20180824-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner used the opening of the Du Quoin State Fair on Friday to veto “bad bills” to expand rights for immigrants living in Illinois illegally as the governor tries to solidify core rural conservatives Downstate who back President Donald Trump behind his re-election. Rauner told WJPF-AM 1020 in Marion that Illinois’ high number of immigrants who lack documentation “pushes up our unemployment rate and that holds down wages in Illinois and takes jobs away from Americans. We’ve got to stand against that.” The Republican governor also said he has pushed the federal government to require electronic verification of worker residency status in the country. “We increase the penalties for employers who hire illegals rather than Americans, we can really clamp down on illegal immigration and we can lead to more jobs for Americans and higher wages,” he said. Rauner, facing a challenge from Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker, has worked since the primary to try to unify conservatives unhappy with his past approval of measures that expanded abortion, immigration and gay rights. . .Rauner signed two other immigration-related measures — one prohibiting any registry programs involving people due to race or religion and another allowing skilled immigrants to more easily seek licenses for professional activities. The Republican governor called the two new laws “really minor, pretty nothing.”)

After the playing of Brown’s writing, on-site veterans joined together for a reaffirmation of oath. After the oath, trumpeter Willard Jackson played the service anthems of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Wesley Wong then led a parade and tribute of first responders past the grandstand stage.

PRESS CORP
— AHEAD OF AUGUST 28 PRIMARY, GOOGLE CENSORS CONTENT FOR U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE DR. KELLI WARD (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want Google to censure GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. My critics/opponents want you to know only what they tell you, no more and no less.)
https://presscorp.org/news/ahead-of-august-28-primary-google-censors-content-for-u-s-senate-candidate-dr-kelli-ward
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After two weeks of unsuccessful petitioning and support consultations, CFO Chris Weir and President Larry Ward of Political Media, Inc. believe their agency’s efforts to promote U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Kelli Ward are being deliberately blocked by Google’s advertising department. For more than two weeks, Weir and Ward have been doing everything “by the book” to promote newly launched Kelli Ward microsite — www.MarthaMcFake.com — on the silicon giant’s advertising platform to no avail. “We’ve been placing digital ads on Google for decades and we have never seen anything like this,” says Ward. “We have been going back and forth with Google ad services for weeks seeking approval to promote MarthaMcFake.com, a single-page microsite exposing candidate Martha McSally’s fake conservatism, and they are playing games with us. With just days left until the August 28 primary for an incredibly hot and closely watched GOP Senate race, this reeks of censorship.” Political Media Chief Financial Officer Chris Weir, who has been in direct communication with Google support, says his conversations with the tech giant have been circular in nature. “They were telling me that our information didn’t match their information: our company name, our address and our EIN,” says Weir. “I was on the phone with four different people, two of which were supervisors and our campaign is still without approval despite weeks of effort and literally hours on the phone.” “The folks at Google said our accounts were reviewed manually then they said they were reviewed by a team. After that they said they were reviewed by an automated system. None of their claims were adding up,” Weir states. “We sent Google their verification form on August 7th and received neither a letter of approval nor a letter of rejection. “Political Media, Inc. is calling on Google to lift the ban on MarthaMcFake.com promotional advertising, an action that directly inhibits free speech rights and the democratic process in advance of the upcoming primary election in Arizona.)

FOX ILLINOIS
— New legislation to help keep Illinois students in state – Senait Gebregiorgis (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, because Democrats run all the colleges in Illinois, if you earn a degree from a college in Illinois, you are presumed to be a Democrat. Ever-increasingly, Democrats 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. If I had attended or earned degrees from conservative colleges, 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.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Rauner is less popular than President Donald Trump. Thirty percent of Illinoisans have a favorable view of Trump, according to the NBC News/Marist poll, compared with Rauner’s 26 percent. Pritzker is at 38 percent in the poll. How Trump supporters lean. The poll notes that 58% of Trump voters in Cook County support Pritzker, vs. 21 percent for Rauner. More interesting, 43 percent of central/downstate Trump voters say they’ll vote for Pritzker, vs. 33 percent supporting Rauner. The fallout: A top of the ticket blowout could have serious down-ballot implications, especially for central and downstate congressional and state legislative races. Good example: Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Bost in the 12th or U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis in the 13th District.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Republicans: Prepare for a crash landing – Kristen McQueary
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-mcqueary-illinois-republicans-rauner-pritzker-20180821-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: He’s also struggling with a wide enthusiasm gap. It’s late August and he has not managed to corral his conservative base or gin up support for his own agenda. Instead, he continues to flap against Madigan. Rauner is still getting hammered for the state’s budget impasse while Democrats who fed it are coasting. Remember: Rauner vetoed the first budget sent to him because it was $4 billion out of balance. The next budget the House prepared in 2016 was $7 billion out of balance. And the 2017 budget that included a 32 percent income tax hike and zero spending reforms? Rauner vetoed it. The legislature overrode him. You don’t hear enough about Rauner protecting taxpayers against a spend-happy legislature that hasn’t passed a balanced budget in more than a decade. Republican voters who felt jubilant on election night 2014 with Rauner’s victory and renewed hope that Illinois would turn itself around should prepare for a crash landing. Bring plenty of tequila. In once-safe DuPage County, Trump’s antics and Pritzker’s money are mixing a strong anti-GOP antidote. Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, who sailed to Springfield on a strong record of fiscal conservatism, is locked in a race with a liberal Madigan-funded Democrat, Terra Costa Howard of Glen Ellyn. She also is getting support from Planned Parenthood, with whom Rauner partnered in signing House Bill 40, which expanded public funding of abortion. The fact that Breen, and even GOP Congressman Peter Roskam of Wheaton, are struggling to retain their seats in DuPage County is a manifestation of a fading-fast Republican Party in Illinois. Other Republican-leaning areas, including Rep. Tom Morrison’s Palatine-based district and an up-for-grabs seat in Arlington Heights, are possible flips to the Democrats. Rep. John Cabello, R-Machesney Park, is in a tighter-than-expected race with Democrat Jake Castanza of Rockford. Prognosticators also say it’s going to be a rough ride for Republicans Jerry Lee Long of Streator and Lindsay Parkhurst of Kankakee. The GOP fought hard to wrest those seats from the Democrats and now the pendulum might swing back. Again — anything can happen. But the campaign expenditure reports from Pritzker are revealing, not just in their indulgences but in their braggadocio. You can almost hear the pop of a Champagne cork with each entry.)

— Here’s who really is getting the most from state spending One of the longest-lived beliefs in Illinois is that rapacious Chicago is sucking the rest of the state dry when it comes to the distribution of state resources. Someone has finally researched this. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: How much money is your county, township/ward, municipality, zip code, and precinct sending Springfield and how much money is it getting back?)

Past divisions forgotten, Obama endorses J.B. Pritzker
— Obama releases a video backing Pritzker for governor, even though Pritzker supported someone else for president. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: I should write a book about politicians who have their operatives and their dupes a) destroy those who ran against them in primaries and b) destroy those who supported their primary opponents.)

EFFINGHAM DAILY NEWS
— Taxes are central theme of gubernatorial race – Evelyn Sanguinetti (DIERSEN: Yes, but a) many poor voters pay little or no taxes and want rich people to pay more taxes and b) many rich voters can easily pay more taxes and want everyone to pay more taxes. What about voters like me who want Illinois to stop promoting dependency on government, stop promoting dependency on charity, stop promoting LGBTQ activity, stop promoting abortion, stop promoting mass/illegal immigration, stop further erosion of the Second Amendment, stop promoting booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, stop promoting patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and stop promoting the rest of the Democrat Party platform, the Libertarian Party platform, and the Green party platform.)

PARENTS OPPOSED TO POT
— WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA TO TREAT THE ADDICTION EPIDEMIC?
http://www.poppot.org/2018/08/18/slim-evidence-medical-marijuana-for-opiates/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Marijuana Policy Project promotes their drug as a substitute for opiate pain pills. Like the worst offenders in the opiate industry, the cannabis lobby follows an addiction-for-profit business model. Their master plan needs 80% of the demand to be met by 20% of the users. Science shows no evidence for using medical marijuana as a substitute for pain pills. Governor David Ige of Hawaii wisely refused to cave to lobbyists, and he vetoed a measure that would have allowed medical marijuana to treat opiate addiction. A large-scale, major study from Australia demonstrates that cannabis doesn’t work as a substitute for opiate pills in instances of chronic, non-cancer pain. The study came out in July, 2018 and it supports the findings of an American study published in September, 2017.)

— Republicans to have their state fair rally as Rauner tries to unify party (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. One could ask what has the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) done since the March 20, 2018 primary to encourage those who support the traditional family, right to life, and immigration planks in the IRP platform to vote for Republicans?

My Democrat superiors always hoped that I would do illegal things so that they could use those things to get rid of me faster than they did. In 1968 and 1969, my Democrat Post Office superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my sick leave requests were illegal. In 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my partial per diem requests were illegal and in 1978, they and Money Magazine hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my education deductions were illegal.)

— Chicago cop files lawsuit over years on desk duty while under investigation – Jeremy Gorner (DIERSEN: Constructively, my Democrat superiors in the federal government always had me “under investigation” and “on desk duty” because I have always been a Republican, but also because I have always opposed political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-chicago-cop-lawsuit-desk-duty-20180814-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago police officer on desk duty for years in connection with one of the Police Department’s worst scandals in its history has filed a federal lawsuit against the city that alleges that the department refused to hold a disciplinary hearing, violating his constitutional rights. In a front-page article in October 2016, the Chicago Tribune chronicled how Officer Thomas Sherry and a second officer remained on desk duty at full pay, filing papers or answering phones because they were barred from working the street because of ongoing disciplinary investigations that can take years to close.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/omarosa-trump-uic-rally-protests-donald-manigault-newman/
— The joy of being first with a ’64 Mustang – Editorial (DIERSEN: D&M Corvette in Downers Grove has appraised my 1972 Corvette at $41,500. But that was after I recently invested $6,702 in the car – $5,228 to D&M ($3,466 labor and $1,762 parts) and $1,474 to Coker Tire for 5 Firestone Wide Oval replica tires. I had not started the car for almost 9 years. Most of D&M’s bill was for repairing damage that ethanol did to car’s entire fuel system. The master cylinder and four calipers were replaced, A/C was charged, carbonator was rebuilt and fuel pump replaced, minor electrical and mechanical problems were fixed, five new tires were installed, new battery was installed, etc. I could have avoided much if not all of the fuel system and brake problems if I had driven the car more – at least once each summer. But my excuse for not starting the car since 2009 is that since 2004, I have spent 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/autos/first-ford-mustang-park-ridge-convertible-garage/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Ford has confirmed what Tom and Gail were hearing — that their Mustang was the first ever sold — and now the car is on display in Michigan this week as the company celebrates the sale of its 10 millionth Mustang. Not only did the Gail and Tom Wise hang on to their Mustang all these years; they also hung on to the original paperwork. By one estimate, that makes their old blue car worth as much as $450,000. We are constantly reminded to de-junk our lives. The KonMari method tells us to tidy up. Feng shui tells us to remove unneeded items. But sometimes there’s joy to be found in proper storage.)

 

DAILY HERALD
— Governor signs bill requiring public notice of tollway contracts (DIERSEN: Government employers should be required to give “public notice” whenever they take adverse employment actions against their employees.

What have you done to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? Even though my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always painted me as being stupid and lazy, I nevertheless earned a) 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. One could argue that if I could do the aforesaid, ANYONE could do the aforesaid.)

https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/08/14/peter-strzok-tweets-gofundme-link-after-fbi-firing-heres-how-much-hes-raised
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Peter Strzok, the anti-Trump FBI official at the center of the “deep state” allegations, opened a new social media account and posted a link asking for donations from the public after being fired Monday. Here’s how much he’s raised Strzok opened a Twitter account Monday after being fired from the bureau and posted just one message on the social media service. It was a statement explaining how the Deputy Director of the FBI had overruled the decision to punish Strzok with “a 60-day suspension and demotion from supervisory duties was the appropriate punishment.” “This decision should be deeply troubling to all Americans,” the letter continued. The statement made the claim that “the decision to terminate was taken in response to political pressure, and to punish Special Agent Strzok for political speech protected by the First Amendment, not on a fair and independent examination of the facts.” “It is a decision that produces only one winner – those who seek to harm our country and weaken our democracy,” the statement concluded. “The FBI and the American people deserve better.” Strzok included a link to a GoFundMe donation page. After only being active for 12 hours, the donation page reached its goal of $150,000, and increased its goal to $350,000. The page stated that the funds would go towards Strzok’s legal defense and his loss of income. Allies of the president have used the released texts from Strzok to his mistress and FBI lawyer Lisa Page to substantiate claims of an orchestrated effort to defeat the president and his policies. Strok denied that the texts proved anything beyond his personal contempt for the president, and the Inspector General’s report said there was no evidence his personal bias interfered with his professional conduct. Nevertheless, Trump and his supporters say that the bias in Strzok’s texts prove that the special counsel’s Russian investigation was begun under dubious circumstances and should be immediately shut down.)

In addition to Wisconsin, the open seat races in Michigan and Iowa are possible pickup opportunities. In Illinois, GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner is viewed as the most vulnerable Republican in the country, and Democrats are hoping that the deep pockets of Hyatt hotel chain heir J.B.

WASHINGTON POST
— ‘Everyone signed one’: Trump is aggressive in his use of nondisclosure agreements, even in government – Josh Dawsey and Ashley Parker (DIERSEN: In my opinion, my Democrat superiors in the federal government were secretly overjoyed a) that I disclosed their giving preference to their Democrat employees, and especially to their Democrat employees who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran and b) that I disclosed their discriminating against their Republican employee, and especially against their Republican employees who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. They saw my disclosures as being proof that they were doing what Democrat politicians wanted them to do. They saw my disclosures as helping them hire, retain, and promote young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They saw my disclosures as helping them get rid of their Republican employees.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dozens of White House aides have signed NDAs in exchange for working for Trump, who has long relied on such agreements in his business career, according to current and former administration employees. But NDAs have not been widely used by past administrations outside the transition time between presidents, in part because most legal experts believe such agreements are not legally enforceable for public employees. Copies of Trump NDAs obtained by The Washington Post or described by current and former aides lay out breathtakingly broad prohibitions on behavior and appear to be drawn heavily from similar contracts used in the past by the Trump Organization, the president’s family firm. Under one agreement from the 2016 campaign, signers promised not to “demean or disparage publicly” Trump, his company or any member of his family — and also not to assist any other politician exploring a federal or state office. An agreement circulated in the White House last year barred signers from sharing any information they had learned in the building, according to several aides who signed the document. And the agreement proposed to Manigault Newman after her firing from the White House would have forbidden her from releasing derogatory information not only about Trump and his family, but about Vice President Pence and his family as well.)

FORBES
— Age Discrimination By Employers Is Common, AARP Survey Says (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2018/08/12/age-discrimination-by-employers-is-common-aarp-survey-says/#36c0942b2cc5
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The vast majority of Americans who work into in their 50s, 60s and beyond need to keep making money as they grow older but encounter widespread age discrimination in job hunts and at the workplace, a new AARP survey has found. AARP surveyed 3,900 people age 45 and older who were working full-time or part-time or looking for work and learned that more than nine in 10 older workers see age discrimination as common. And 61% say they’ve personally seen or experienced it. Women are more likely than men to have seen or experienced age discrimination, according to the survey. More than three quarters of African-American respondents, 60% of Latinos and 59% of whites reported seeing or experiencing it. What AARP Says About Age Discrimination “Older workers want to work, they’re ready to work and they need to work,” said Susan Weinstock, AARP’s vice president of financial resilience. “They should have the opportunity to be judged on their merits, rather than their age.” But the survey results strongly suggest older job applicants routinely are denied that opportunity. Since turning 40, a striking 30% of respondents experienced at least one of these six actions and 17% experienced two or more: not getting hired for a job they applied for because of their age; heard negative remarks related to their older age from a colleague; passed up for a chance to get ahead because of their age; heard negative remarks related to their older age from a supervisor; were laid off, fired or forced out of job because of their age or were denied access to training or professional development opportunities because of their age. Among respondents who’ve applied for a new position in the past two years, 44% said they were asked for age-related information such as birth dates and graduation years. Such information is often used to discriminate against older applicants and requests for it discourage many older workers from applying, according to AARP. Fears of Getting Hired After a Job Loss About one third of the survey respondents said they doubted they’d be able to quickly land another job if theirs was eliminated. Almost half of them said the major reason would be age discrimination. Government data shows that nearly one third of workers 55 and older who lose their jobs are unemployed a financially-dangerous six months or more. By contrast, just 18% of those ages 16 to 54 are out of work similar periods. The AARP survey also suggests that most older workers don’t think they have much protection against age discrimination. While a majority reported seeing or experiencing age bias, barely 3% said they’d filed a formal complaint with an employer or government agency.)

August 12 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Despite 2 voter rejections, Wheaton-Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 plans to construct new building — and gets sued over it – Bob Goldsborough (DIERSEN: What are your connections with this issue? My wife and I have paid real estate taxes big time to District 200 since 1978. We have never attended any District 200 school and we have never sent any child to any District 200 school. The District 200 headquarters is in my precinct as well as Whittier Grade School and Edison Middle School. Janet Shaw is a fellow Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman. I know Dan Wagner and his wife. I understand that the lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Bonnie Wheaton.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/ct-met-wheaton-school-preschool-project-20180806-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Twice since 2013, voters in the Wheaton and Warrenville area have rejected referendum proposals to raise taxes for the construction of a new preschool. Despite that, the Community Unit School District 200 board is proceeding with building a new Jefferson Early Childhood Center without voter approval through a different form of financing. But now a resident who opposes that measure has sued the district in DuPage County Circuit Court, seeking to halt the plans. Those in favor of building a new childhood center call the current 26,500-square-foot building outdated and note that the district in recent years has renovated or built anew every other school building except Jefferson. Jefferson, which was constructed in 1958 and had 277 pupils as of June, offers a traditional preschool and early childhood intervention for youths with mental or physical disabilities. Voters rejected a referendum proposal for a new Jefferson school in 2013, and again said no in 2017 as part of a much larger, $132 million proposal involving other district schools as well. Board President Jim Vroman said that after the 2017 referendum proposal failed, the district surveyed voters and found that “a substantial majority” supported building a new Jefferson. “That told us that voters were against the tax increase that the referendum would have generated if we had proceeded,” he said. Instead, the board agreed with a suggestion by a district financial adviser to use lease certificates, or secured lease credit financing, to fund a new Jefferson. District 200 would oversee construction of the estimated $15.5 million, 41,544-square-foot building, while Zions Bank would own the building. . .Frequent board critic Janet Shaw, who runs a blog that scrutinizes the district’s finances, long has questioned the legality of using lease certificates and added that “my real problem is that we don’t need (the new school building).” Shaw has filed suit against District 200, demanding a halt to the current plan to finance a new Jefferson. She is seeking a judge to require District 200’s board to submit a proposal for the new school building to the public via a referendum question. “District 200 is tampering with election results right here in DuPage County,” Shaw said. “The district thinks that by using the magic word ‘lease,’ its two failed referendum efforts and the will of the community are somehow erased and it can proceed in an identical manner as if a referendum had been adopted by the community to build and finance a new school.” A district spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit. Dan Wagner, a parent and longtime proponent of a new Jefferson, called the existing building outmoded, with some instruction occurring in converted broom closets. He added that the building lacks air conditioning, which precludes some special needs pupils from participating in gym classes.)

I washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Northwest Side (NWS) GOP Club, which touts itself as union-friendly, has added another leader with union ties to its ranks. The club recently announced Erin Jones was appointed precinct committeeman for Chicago’s 39th Ward. “Erin is a rock-star and a loyal member of the NWS GOP Club.” club officials said. “As a first-responder family, Erin and her husband serve the community both on and off-duty. We are happy to have her in a leadership role.” As a committeeman, Jones will represent the GOP voters of the precinct at the county level. “I grew up in Rogers Park and moved to the Northwest Side nine years ago,” Jones said. “I’ve been a Chicago police officer for the last 15 years, spending 10 of those years in patrol on the Westside of the City. I actually started working for the city when I was a teenager as a lifeguard in Rogers Park.” Jones is married to a Chicago firefighter and has two daughters. She was appointed by Matt Podgorski, NWS GOP Club chairman and 39th ward committeeman. The NWS GOP Club also has a party planned for Aug. 11 to welcome its card-carrying union members and encourage other union members to explore the club. Republican candidate and Chicago police sergeant Ammie Kessem is slated to attend the event. Kessem is challenging incumbent Rep. Robert Martwick (D-Chicago) for Illinois’ 19th House District seat in November’s general election.)

— EEOC Sues The University of Wisconsin System for Age Discrimination – EEOC (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, EEOC should sue the federal government. The federal government wastes the careers of and gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who the federal government does not promote to 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.)
https://legalnewsline.com/stories/511525152-u-s-equal-employment-opportunity-commission-eeoc-sues-the-university-of-wisconsin-system-for-age-discrimination
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The University of Wisconsin System violated federal law when it refused to hire a former longtime employee because of her age, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed. According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, Bambi Butzlaff Voss, who was 53 years old and subject to a layoff from her job as a Marketing and Communications Specialist at the University of Wisconsin’s Waukesha campus, applied for six different positions with the University of Wisconsin System’s central office in Madison, including an Associate Marketing and Communications Specialist position. Butzlaff Voss had 25 years of experience performing tasks similar, if not identical, to the ones in the position she applied for. But, because of Butzlaff Voss’s age, the University refused to hire her. Instead, it hired a 23-year-old candidate with less than two years of experience. Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The EEOC sued in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (EEOC v. Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, Civil Action No: 3:18-cv-00602) after first trying to settle through its conciliation process. The lawsuit asks the court to order the University to hire Butzlaff Voss and provide back pay as well as pay liquidated damages. The lawsuit also seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting the University from discriminating against future candidates based on their age. “The Age Discrimination in Employment Act has been on the books for five decades,” said Gregory Gochanour, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Chicago District. “The EEOC will make sure employers follow the law, even if it means going to court to get the message across.” Julianne Bowman, district director of the EEOC’s Chicago District, said, “Workers over 40 years of age should have the same opportunities as those workers less than half their age. Ignoring a candidate’s decades of experience relevant to the available job, because of her age, to hire someone with less than two years of experience is illegal discrimination.”)
