— PROTESTERS FACE OFF OUTSIDE TRUMP TOWER IN CHICAGO – Diane Pathieu and Leah Hope
http://abc7chicago.com/politics/protesters-face-off-outside-trump-tower-in-chicago/1560546/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dueling groups of protesters faced off Tuesday in front of Trump International Hotel and Tower. Both groups said they want their voices heard and plan to keep supporting their candidate until Election Day. During the busy Tuesday morning rush hour, a group of self-described feminists carried graphic pro-women signs referencing lewd comments Trump made about groping women in a 2005 conversation with TV host Billy Bush. A recording of the exchange was made public this month. Many of the signs could not be shown on TV. But their message was clear: they believe Trump is a sexist, who has gotten away with years of mistreating women. “Women are angry. I mean, we’re tired of being silenced. Sexual assault and rape culture is nothing new so Trump is just giving us a visible reason, but I think a lot of women who are here today are here about things they have been feeling for a long time,” said Alicia Swiz, an anti-Trump protest organizer. Some gathered at the protest highlighted the power of the female vote, chanting “women united will never be defeated.” Another group, which was much smaller but just as vocal, was stationed across the street. They said they believe Trump is the right candidate for president, not Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, and believe the women protesting him have a skewed view of reality. “Donald Trump loves women! He loves all of you [expletive],” a pro-Trump protester yelled. “I’m offended at the hypocrisy because they support a candidate that has Validated Bill Clinton’s sexual assault for decades. Hillary Clinton has enabled Bill Clinton. More women were sexually assaulted because of Hillary Clinton’s actions,” said Suzanne Monk, a pro-Trump protester. Dozens of Chicago police officers surrounded both groups and barricades were set up around Trump Tower to ensure a safe and peaceful environment. The Chicago protest was in conjunction with other anti-Trump protests across the country, including Washington D.C. and New York. Some of the women at Tuesday’s protest left to register to vote.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Duckworth wants a bonus for Social Security recipients – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: Civil Service Retirement System recipients like me get the same COLA that Social Security recipients get. The COLAs that I have received since I retired in 1997 have been far less then what inflation has been in Wheaton since 1997.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20161018/BLOGS02/161019815/duckworth-wants-a-bonus-for-social-security-recipients
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Is she playing Santa Claus right before a big election? Or just helping out little folks who need money at the expense of greedy corporate types? Decide for yourself, but Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Tammy Duckworth surely wants to get some attention with her renewed call today to give every single Social Security and SSA recipient, and those receiving veterans’ benefits, an annual 3.9 percent bonus. That could amount to $581 a head—”almost three months of groceries for seniors or a year’s worth of out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs for the average Medicare beneficiary—Duckworth said in a statement. With roughly 70 million people getting the extra check, the total cost to the treasury would be about $40 billion. Duckworth’s action came in a joint statement with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., one of the Senate’s leading progressives, a day after officials announced that the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment will be a near-invisible 0.3 percent for 2017 after zero this year. The Social Security Administration says the modest hike is all that’s warranted, given inflation. But Duckworth termed it “another disappointment” and “inadequate.” Warren and Duckworth said 3.9 percent amounts to the average percentage raise that top corporate CEOs received in the last year. And to pay for the Social Security bonus, the two would eliminate business’ tax deductibility for bonus payments on top of salary that some companies make to their chiefs. In fact, Duckworth’s office says, such corporate “performance” payments now amount to 55 percent of total CEO compensation. The underlying bill Duckworth and Warren favor to accomplish this has been stalled in the GOP-dominated Congress for a while. But they’re clearly hoping to jump-start it. Duckworth’s opponent, incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., had no immediate comment.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IN FRONT OF BILLY GRAHAM CENTER IN WHEATON, “DONALD TRUMP IS ANTICHRIT” (DIERSEN: Of course, obviously, needless-to-say, without question, all elected officials who represent all or part of Wheaton, all candidates who are seeking to represent all or part of Wheaton, all officers of political parties that represent all or part of Wheaton, all those who have religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, and everyone else should strongly condemn this.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2016/10/in-front-of-billy-graham-center-in-wheaton-donald-trump-is-antichrit.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: WHEATON – While evangelist Billy Graham’s son Franklin Graham stands solidly behind the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, students at the elder Graham’s alma mater Wheaton College are evidently not in agreement. “Donald Trump is the ‘Anti-Chrit'”, a misspelled chalking said on the steps of the evangelical school’s Billy Graham Center. Although Graham has declared his continuing support for Trump despite videos revealing and rumors suggesting immoral behavior which Graham preaches against, he wrote on his Facebook page this week that he’s not condoning Trump’s behavior: “A lot of people are slamming evangelicals for supposedly giving Donald J. Trump a pass. That’s simply not true. No one is giving him a pass. I’m certainly not, and I’ve not met an evangelical yet who condones his language or inexcusable behavior from over a decade ago. However, he has apologized to his wife, his family, and to the American people for this. He has taken full responsibility. This election isn’t about Donald Trump’s behavior from 11 years ago or Hillary Clinton’s recent missing emails, lies, and false statements. This election is about the Supreme Court and the justices that the next president will nominate. Evangelicals are going to have to decide which candidate they trust to nominate men and women to the court who will defend the constitution and support religious freedoms. My prayer is that Christians will not be deceived by the liberal media about what is at stake for future generations.”)

WASHINGTON POST
— Federal retirees to get small sip of COLA – Eric Yoder (DIERSEN: Civil Service Retirement System recipients like me get the same COLA that Social Security recipients get. The COLAs that I have received since I retired in 1997 have been far less then what inflation has been in Wheaton since 1997.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/10/18/federal-retirees-to-get-small-sip-of-cola/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Annuity benefits to retired federal employees will increase by 0.3 percent in January, the government announced Tuesday, a cost-of-living adjustment that translates into a monthly boost averaging around $10. The adjustment, or COLA, to federal retirement benefits mirrors that for Social Security and is based on the change in an inflation index from the third calendar quarter of one year to the next. Tuesday’s announcement follows the release of the inflation figure for September, the last month of that count. As of Oct. 1, 2015, there were about 2,054,000 federal retirees plus about another 545,000 survivor beneficiaries, according to the Office of Personnel Management. There are about 44,500 retirees or survivor beneficiaries in the District, about 163,200 in Maryland and about 144,500 in Virginia. California has the most, 215,500. Seventy percent of federal retirees draw their benefits from the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), which generally applies to those first hired before 1984; by contrast, more than 90 percent of current federal employees are under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which generally applies to those first hired in 1984 or after. The average monthly annuity of a CSRS retiree as of October 2015 was $3,529, while the average for those retired under FERS was $1,355. Average monthly benefits for survivor beneficiaries of deceased retirees were $1,560 and $544, respectively. There was no cost-of-living increase under either federal retirement program or under Social Security in January of this year, because the inflation count for the measuring period toward that adjustment ended in negative territory. In that situation — which has happened two other times in recent years — benefits are not cut. The two federal retirement programs differ in that FERS employees pay into Social Security as well as into the federal retirement fund and become eligible for a benefit from that program. Social Security is not part of the CSRS system, although some under CSRS become eligible for a Social Security benefit through other work or through a spouse’s employment; in those cases, offsets commonly reduce or even eliminate that benefit. The average monthly Social Security benefit nationwide is $1,355. FERS employees also get employer contributions, of up to 5 percent of salary, toward the Thrift Savings Plan, the 401(k)-style retirement saving program for federal workers, while CSRS employees don’t. But while all CSRS retirees receive a full COLA regardless of age, those retired under FERS don’t receive COLAs until age 62 unless they fall under certain exceptions. Also, a FERS COLA is reduced if the inflation count exceeds 2 percent, a provision that hasn’t applied since the 2012 boost. A COLA applies only to retirees, not to active employees, most of whom are in line for a raise averaging 1.6 percent in January. Increases for the two groups are set through different processes, and the amounts don’t necessarily track each other. Federal retirees commonly use increases in their health insurance costs as a comparator to the COLA. In the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) — for which most federal retirees are eligible — the enrollee share of premiums will increase by 6.2 percent on average in January. That translates into about $11 a month more on average for self-only coverage, about $22 more for self-plus-one coverage and about $28 more for family coverage. However, enrollees have the choice of many plans in an upcoming open season — 31 in the Washington area — and some insurers are holding premiums about steady or even decreasing them slightly. . .National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association President Richard G. Thissen said the developments show that the COLA increase should be determined by a separate inflation measure that specifically tracks spending patterns of retirees. “Given the large increase in health care and insurance costs, it is crystal clear that the current formula does not accurately reflect how seniors spend their limited annuities,” he said in a statement. Many federal retirees also are enrolled in Medicare, which acts as the first payer for those who also have FEHBP coverage. About half of those retired under the CSRS, along with certain other Medicare enrollees, could face much higher premiums for their Part B (physicians and related services) coverage in 2017 than others will pay. That’s due to a “hold harmless” provision protecting most enrollees from Medicare hikes that exceed the increase in their Social Security benefits — effectively passing the entire Medicare premium cost increase to those not protected. Next year’s Medicare premium rates are to be announced in November. Last year, Congress provided partial relief for the 2016 plan year for those affected, and a coalition including federal employee and retiree groups recently wrote to Congress seeking an extension. “Congress must act now to prevent a massive increase in Medicare Part B premiums for this group of retirees,” American Federation of Government Employees President J. David Cox Sr. said in a statement. “Although most seniors would be protected, this group will have to pay more solely because of the uniqueness of their pension system.”)

I was able to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE a) because my outstanding parents provided me with room and board while attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969 and b) because I worked all the hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while UIC and NIU were in session and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.)

— Should I a) limit GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions and b) password protect www.gopillinois.com? – Dave Diersen
https://gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are worth at least $1,000 a year. The only legitimate reason to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is to get information a) to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Central Committee (MTRCC) resolution against video gambling and b) to help elect and reelect Republican candidates who can and will defend and advance the aforesaid. Far too many read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to get information to defeat Republican candidates who support a) the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), Second Amendment, and/or other planks and b) the MTRCC resolution. Far too many read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to get information to get rid of those who they cannot manipulate/dominate. The aforesaid GOPUSA ILLINOIS email readers blame me for their problems, blame me for your problems, blame me for my problems, and blame me for everyone’s problems. They viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn my motives and my judgment. What are the pros and cons if I would a) limit GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions and b) password protect www.gopillinois.com?)

http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/212123144-story
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A local attorney who supports Trump was infuriated by what he saw on that videotape and claims it may violate federal law. “Think how cynical these people are to actually pay people – They’re paying their thugs, their goons,” said Doug Ibendahl. “And putting them into these Trump events to do their dirty work.” The conservative video purports to show several boasting they helped provoke the violence at UIC last March that forced Donald Trump to cancel a big rally. Creamer’s cohorts considered it a victory that Trump was widely condemned for the uproar.)

Since 2000, I have sent out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails free of charge and without any advertising. Since 2004, those emails have gone out each and every morning; since 2015, they have gone out each and every evening too; and they have included links to more than 247,500 articles and information on many upcoming events.)
http://www.wandtv.com/story/33368316/1000-illinois-residents-pledging-for-national-service-recognition-day
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner is declaring October 12 National Service Recognition Day, and one thousand residents will be turning out to celebrate helping their communities. A celebration will begin at 9 AM at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield. Volunteers will receive training and recognition at the center then head out to do several projects benefiting many Springfield organizations including the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois, the Central Illinois Blood Center and many more. There will also be a parade at the Old State Capitol starting at 3:15 PM. Serve Illinois Executive Director Scott McFarland will lead the members in the AmeriCorps and Senior Corps pledges at the Old State Capitol, during which volunteers will proclaim their commitment to a year of service to Illinois. The event will also celebrate a national milestone of the one-millionth AmeriCorps Member to serve since 1994. 2,200 current AmeriCorps members have dedicated a year to helping communities meet their unmet economic, education, health, public safety or environmental needs. Members receive a living allowance, student loan deferment and training. Since 1994, 37,000 Illinois residents have served more than 52 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $1.3 billion. Senior Corps Members use their experience to support communities through the RSVP, Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions programs. These 55 years and older volunteers serve as mentors, coaches and companions to people in need. There are more than 11,000 seniors serving. For more information on Serve Illinois, or to find one of more than 2,5000 volunteer opportunities in the state, visit the organization’s website.)

I should write a book about those who hate Corvettes and who hate Corvette owners. Then I should write a book about those who hate American nameplate vehicles and who hate those who own American nameplate vehicles.)
http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/300484-biden-powell-to-drag-race-on-jay-lenos-car-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Vice President Biden and former Secretary of State Colin Powell will drag race to kick off season two of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage” on Nov. 9, the network announced Tuesday. Biden and Leno will also discuss the vice president’s beloved 1967 Corvette before he battles Powell, but the network did not specify which car models Biden and Powell would race against one another. CNBC added Biden and Powell’s appearance is the first of six new episodes of “Jay Leno’s Garage” airing this year. Other notable guest appearances during the upcoming six-episode season include comedian Jerry Seinfeld, actor Patrick Dempsey, country star Brad Paisley and NASCAR driver Joey Lagano. The vice president called himself “a car junkie” while visiting the Detroit auto show in 2014, speaking about his father’s work managing a pair of car dealerships. Biden showered praise on the Corvette Z06 during his appearance, praising the sports car’s engine power and speed. “I just want you to know that the ’67 was zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds,” he said in Detroit. “I didn’t do that…but it was. But this new Corvette, Z06, is zero to 60, allegedly, in 3.4 seconds.” Organizers behind the Draft Biden 2016 super PAC, meanwhile, also released merchandize last year that featured Biden cruising in a Corvette. The groups “ridin’ with Biden” logo depicted the vice president sporting aviator glasses behind the steering wheel.)

(FRON THE ARTICLE: With crime surging citywide, residents in one of Chicago’s wealthiest neighborhoods are chipping in to hire private security guards to patrol their 16-square-block section of Lake View a half-mile west of Wrigley Field. Among those donating to the cause: Cubs President Theo Epstein and his wife. The Epsteins are among “dozens” of families who have contributed to the Southport Community Alliance, a not-for-profit group formed in June to pay for patrols of homes bounded by West Grace Street, West Roscoe Street, and Southport and Ashland avenues. Marie Whitney, Epstein’s wife, is one of three directors of the organization, according to state records.

— New law requires Kane County board members to track hours to qualify for pension – Gloria Casas (DIERSEN: Do/did you save your timesheets? I have saved copies of all the timesheets that I submitted while I worked for GAO 1980-1997; IRS 1971-1980; Firestone Stores 1970-1972; University Plaza Dormitory and Chrysler in 1970; Post Office 1966-1969; John’s Sinclair, Thrall Car, and Flossmoor Country Club in 1966; and S.S.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/elgin-courier-news/news/ct-ecn-kane-board-members-hours-pension-st-1003-20160930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County board members must track their hours on timesheets in order to qualify for pensions under a new law Gov. Bruce Rauner recently signed. The county’s Finance Department showed the Finance and Budget Committee newly designed timesheets that will be required to report their hours if they plan to continue with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund’s (IMRF) pension program. Under the law, newly elected part-time county board members will no longer qualify for taxpayer funded pensions while existing board members will still qualify but must document they worked the required 600 hours a year, according to a law initiated by state Rep. Jack D. Franks (D-Marengo). Rauner signed a bill outlining the changes into law late last month. Kane County board members also serve as commissioners on the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, however, it is a separate governing body that is not addressed in the new law, said John Hoscheit, chairman of the Finance and Budget Committee. The time sheet deals with county board work and must be kept by board members who want to continue participating in the IMRF pension program, he said.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Groupon to turn over workforce data in race discrimination case – CLAIRE BUSHEY (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, EEOC wants Groupon to be like GAO. To get Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans to apply for jobs at Groupon like they do at GAO and to stay at Groupon like they stay at GAO, Groupon could become like GAO. Groupon could learn from GAO by reading all the documents filed in Diersen v. GAO at https://gopillinois.com/diersen-v-gao-fifth-amended-complaint/. That lawsuit shows that a) GAO gives preference to job applicants and to its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, and therefore b) discriminates against job applicants and its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160930/NEWS04/160939981/groupon-to-turn-over-workforce-data-in-race-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A judge has ordered Groupon to turn over workforce and hiring data to the federal agency charged with investigating companies for job discrimination. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ruled on Sept. 21 that the Chicago company will need to provide the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with demographic information on both its workforce and the men and women logged in its job applicant database. The agency is investigating the company for racial discrimination in hiring. Groupon had been fighting an EEOC subpoena for the data, arguing that it was irrelevant, overly broad and burdensome. Ellis dismissed all three objections. “When investigating a charge of race discrimination, EEOC ‘is authorized to consider where the overall conditions in a workplace support’ the allegations,” Ellis wrote. Two-thirds of Groupon’s U.S. workforce is white, according to a company blog post. Court filings say the company has 1,900 employees in Chicago and received 25,000 job applications between Jan. 1, 2014 and the present. A spokesman for Groupon did not immediately return a request for comment. The agency is investigating a claim by Adrian Stratton, who filed a charge of racial discrimination in October 2014, after the company did not hire him for an open position as vice president of merchandising. But the successful pursuit of Groupon’s data makes the case “much more significant than just a single subpoena,” said Linda Friedman, a name partner at Stowell & Friedman in Chicago who represents plaintiffs in discrimination cases. Like Wall Street, racial minorities are underrepresented in the tech industry. The EEOC can use workforce and hiring data to analyze the racial makeup of a company’s workforce compared to the community in which it recruits. The greater the disparity, the greater the likelihood of discrimination. The agency is exercising its power to broadly investigate a company in the name of the public interest, rather than getting bogged down in the specifics of a single individual’s claim. “A lot of people feel the EEOC has been too quiet and too silent,” she said. “So it’s good to see it’s alive and breathing.”)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— JOSHUA NAPONIELLO: MY DAY WITH DONALD TRUMP IN BOLINGBROOK (DIERSEN: Those who spoke very highly of Trump at this outstanding event included Roger Claar and Rudy Giuliani. The 300+ attendees included John Cabello, Brad Cole, Dan Cronin, Demetra DeMonte, Kirk Dillard, Ron Gidwitz, Dan Hampton, David MacNeil, Richard Porter, Todd Ricketts, Skip Saviano, Tim Schneider, Mickey Straub, and Dave Tornga.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2016/09/naponiello-my-day-with-donald-trump-in-bolingbrook.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How crazy is it that I ended up volunteering for perhaps the next president of the United States? I mean you would have thought that by talking to Roger Claar the Mayor of Bolingbrook, I would volunteer at a Trump fundraiser! I can only say it was the best event that I have worked on in my early political life. Setting up tables was a challenge but greeting people by the door was amazing. Friendly faces, attitudes, familiar faces like (former State Senator) Kirk Dillard, (Bolingbrook Mayor) Roger Claar and (Chicago Cubs’ owner) Todd Ricketts. I also had the pleasure of sitting next to (former New York City Mayor) Rudy Giuliani during the lunch. The speech that Trump delivered was electrifying. Reducing regulations, repealing Obamacare, and lowering taxes on the middle class. Straight to the point concise, was how his speech was, and everyone stood and applauded our future president of the United States. Unfortunately, there was a negative point, as I was called traitor and fake by Mexican protesters against Trump, yet I kept my smile and head straight up and continued to help Trump. After the event I traveled outside to see Trump supporters waving American flags and chanting “USA,USA,USA”. I got to talk to some of the Trump supporters and we discussed Trump at the first debate. Another highlight was being quoted in a Chicago Tribune story, link here https://www.google.com/amp/www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/bolingbrook-plainfield/news/ct-nvs-trump-bolingbrook-st-0929-20160928-story,amp.html Otherwise I had a great time and learned from Trump what it means to be a leader. Joshua Naponiello is a 19 year old student at College of DuPage.)

— Just say no to Narcan? Heroin rescue efforts draw backlash – AP (DIERSEN: Untended consequences SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequences “In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes that are not the ones foreseen and intended by a purposeful action.”)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–heroin-overdoses-backlash-20160925-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First responders in U.S. communities reeling from waves of heroin overdoses say some people tell them they should just say no to using so many resources on drug abusers. Authorities say people have expressed frustration about rescuing addicts who often immediately resume using the potentially deadly drug. There are also concerns voiced about the wide-ranging social and government budget costs involved, including for the overdose antidote naloxone. Some signs of heroin overdose backlash: — Gov. Paul LePage in hard-hit Maine vetoed legislation this year to expand access to naloxone, usually under the brand name Narcan. He has explained that when people are receiving a dozen or more doses, they should start having to pay for it. The Legislature overrode his veto. — An effort by authorities in Ohio’s Hamilton County to get a dangerous heroin batch off the streets by offering immunity for people who turn in drugs drew a rebuke from Sheriff Richard Jones in neighboring Butler County, who argued it only enables dealers and users and gives them an excuse if they are caught. — A police photo of a grandmother and her boyfriend unconscious after overdosing with a 4-year-old boy in their car went viral this month after the police department in Ohio’s East Liverpool posted it on Facebook, drawing thousands of comments including from people decrying lenience toward users who endanger children or steal to support their habits. — A retired attorney wrote an op-ed column in The Cincinnati Enquirer examining the costs of treating heroin addiction, the strain on public resources and the rise in “drugged driving” accidents as he urged aggressive punishment. “What social policy is advanced by subsidizing recklessness?” John M. Kunst Jr., of suburban Cincinnati, wrote earlier this year. “Why do we excuse and enable addiction?” “I understand the frustration,” said Police Chief Thomas Synan Jr. of Newtown, Ohio, who heads a Cincinnati-area heroin coalition task force. “I understand the feeling that someone is doing something to themselves, so why do the rest of us have to pay? But our job is to save lives, period.”)
— Millionaire mayor Rahm Emanuel finds $5.62 smoothie ‘a little pricey’ – Bill Ruthhart (DIERSEN: From what I see, if you do not have at least $1 million in investable assets or if you are not track to have at least $1 million in investable assets by the time you retire, you are in big trouble financially.)

They would amend the Illinois Constitution to promote dependency on government, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, booze, gambling and other vices, abolishment of the First and Second Amendments, race and gender based preference giving, age discrimination, and the rest of the Democrat Party platform.)

SAVE THE CHICAGO READER
— Help us win the fight for the Reader: its bold writing must be saved – Ben Joravsky (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Why does Diersen send out his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to anyone who wants them every morning and every evening free of charge and without any advertising? ANSWER: Diersen promotes the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. He who pays the piper calls the tunes, and Diersen does not want anyone to call his tunes. Diersen can afford to donate the thousands of hours and thousands of dollars each year needed to put the emails together and to send them out. Diersen fills a tremendous communication void in Illinois. No one else provides an email service that even comes close to what Diersen does.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As much as I may not like to admit it, I’m the old guy on the Reader staff. And so I’m writing on behalf of all the employees in our guild bargaining unit. My first Reader story – a freelanced restaurant review – ran in 1977, before many of my current colleagues were even born. I started covering politics for the paper in 1984. I’ve been a staff writer since 1990. That’s long enough for me to have learned a thing or two about what makes this paper so great. Yes, the Reader runs provocative theater, music, film, and food criticism, but just as important, its editors give writers the freedom to tell it like it is, even if we irritate the hell out of the powers that be.)

— Federal Workforce: Lessons Learned for Engaging Millennials and Other Age Groups (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors focused on a) hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) making way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-16-880T
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With more than 30% of federal employees eligible to retire by 2019, a lot of jobs could open up that the current federal workforce can’t fill. So, the government needs to recruit and retain the next generation of workers. Strong employee engagement—a positive feeling about one’s employer and its mission—tends to help agencies hire and keep employees. You might think that millennials are less engaged than other age groups, but the data in this testimony showed that engagement doesn’t vary much by age. Engagement increases for everyone when agencies demonstrate that they value their employees.)

THE HILL
— Lawmakers, tech talk diversity – Ali Breland and David McCabe (DIERSEN: To promote diversity is to get rid of those who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://origin-nyi.thehill.com/policy/technology/overnights/298165-overnight-tech-tech-comes-to-the-hill-to-talk-diversity-ftc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shiu called for more power and resources for her office to be able to better handle workplace equity issues.
“What is required to address this issue is more resources for the agency. What is required is that every contractor has to file its affirmative action plan so we don’t get the plans just when we come knocking. What is required is that the OFCCP has the subpoena authority that the [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] has,” Shiu said. The panel’s talk also focused on specific government agencies as well as the general ethos in tech that critics say contributes to the lack of workplace diversity. The panel members said the lack of diversity made it harder for tech companies to spot and fix certain problems. “I felt there was a cultural problem at Airbnb,” said Laura Murphy, a senior adviser at the company. “Three young, white guys, who founded the company 8 years ago now run a company that’s valued at $30 billion. Doing that in 8 years, they grew very fast. They didn’t change their social networks in the process of growing. We live in a very segregated society. When issues of segregation came up they were turning to each other, which wasn’t the most effective option.”)

HUFFINGTON POST

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-baltimore-gazette_us_57eb1f47e4b024a52d2b71e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But not so fast! Donald Trump has a media coup of his own to brag about. Seems that some eagle-eyed investigative reporters at the Baltimore Gazette have brought home a dilly of a scoop: “Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.” . . . The Baltimore Gazette, a newspaper that existed very briefly just after the Civil War, has returned online as a site to spread fake news stories and other nonsense. . . Yes, turns out the Baltimore Gazette is just one more in an increasingly baffling array of “parody” news sites that swap the humor of The Onion with the crackpottery of your great-uncle’s emails, all while dressing up their wares with as close an approximation to real news as they can muster. (Weigel reports that the “Gazette” does salt its bogus offerings with occasional stories that are on the level ― and stolen from other sources.))
