— McGlasson calls for Illinois GOP Chairman Schneider to ‘do the right thing’ and resign – Karen Kidd (DIERSEN: Illinois Republicans anxiously await the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to publish a report on its February 9, 2019 State Central Committee (SCC) meeting in Bolingbrook, including a summary of the results of its “ILGOP Vision 2020” survey. The meeting included reports by IRP Chairman Tim Schneider and Co-Chairman Mark Shaw, IRP National Committeeman Richard Porter, IRP National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte, and the IRP SCC members. IRP SCC members are listed at: https://illinois.gop/who-we-are/officials/. Jeanne Ives addressed the meeting for 10 minutes. Meeting attendees included Richard Berner, John Biver, Carol Davis, Babette Holder, Bill Hogan, Doug Ibendahl, James Marter, Matt Quigley, Jan Shaw, and Allen Skillicorn. During the public comment portion of the meeting, attendees were given the opportunity to identify themselves and speak. The meeting ran from 9:30 AM until after 2:30 PM with only a short break for lunch. I posted a copy of the survey questions and my responses at the end of the February 9, 2019 GOPUSA ILLINOIS Morning Edition Email.)
https://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511770993-mcglasson-calls-for-illinois-gop-chairman-schneider-to-do-the-right-thing-and-resign
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Less than a year after an alleged attempt by now former Gov. Bruce Rauner to purge him from the Illinois GOP’s central committee, a committeeman earlier this week called upon the party’s chairman to resign. “I am respectfully asking our Chairman Tim Schneider to step aside for the good of the party in the future,” 16th Congressional District Representative John McGlasson said in a letter read into the record during the Republican State Central Committee’s meeting over the weekend. “Even though we disagree with many things, he is a good and honorable man. His work on behalf of the party merits our respect.” But that work apparently has not been good enough for McGlasson, and “his nearly five years of party leadership can only be described as disastrous,” the letter stated. “We have no Republican Constitutional Officers, we are in the super-minority in both houses of the General Assembly and the party’s finances are in dire straits.” Former State Representative Jeanne Ives reportedly spoke at the meeting and made a request similar to McGlasson’s.)

— Cliff Sims worked for the White House. Now Trump wants to silence him. – Mark S. Zaid (DIERSEN: After wasting my career and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors certainly did not want to silence me. They wanted everyone to know about GAO’s Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, and “up-or-out” policies, that is, that GAO gets rid of its employees who a Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did 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. Obviously, the aforesaid policies help GAO recruit and retain Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/aldermanic-candidate-files-4-million-defamation-suit-against-ctu/

— Democrats expect to send minimum wage bill to Pritzker Thursday — as GOP balks – Jerry Nowicki (DIERSEN: Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School. If S.S. Kresges had to pay me $15/hour in today’s dollars back then, it probably would have hired an illegal instead of me. If you had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars when you were young, what would you have done with that money? I did not start earning $15/hour in today’s dollars until I was 18 in September of 1966. I earned far less than $15/hour in today’s dollars when I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; and cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. If had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars 1962-1966, I probably would have bought a new loaded 1966 Pontiac GTO in 1966 instead of the new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I bought. What job requirements did you have to meet before you first earned $15/hour in today’s dollars? Job requirements that I had to meet in 1966 included: be a United States citizen, be 18 years old, have a high school diploma, pass an employment test, pass a physical examination, have a driver’s license, pass a truck driving test, pass a background investigation, and have a car to use to make deliveries with.)

My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted at them a) that members of the following groups are anti-Jewish: Republican, Protestant, conservative, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time and b) that I was Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

— How Big Must Your Nest Egg Be? – Glenn Ruffenach
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-big-must-your-nest-egg-be-11549854421
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Example: You determine that you need $70,000 a year to meet your expenses and pay taxes. And let’s say you receive $30,000 a year from Social Security and a small pension. If we subtract the latter total from the former, we end up with $40,000 in residual living expenses—those that aren’t covered by guaranteed sources of income. Knowing that figure can help you calculate how large your nest egg should be. Mr. Bernstein recommends that most people should plan to save for about 25 years of RLE. (Which is a reasonable number if you retire at or near age 65, since most financial planners would urge you to assume a life expectancy of 90, if not longer.) To continue our example above, we multiply $40,000 (again, your annual shortfall) by 25 years. That gives us a target of $1 million for your nest egg. That’s how much you would need to save before retiring. The math, of course, isn’t a guarantee of retirement success, Mr. Bernstein notes, but “at least gives you a decent shot at it.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190209/editorial-the-danger-of-increased-polarization-in-age-of-digital-news

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The research, reported in the academic Journal of Communication, found that with fewer opportunities to learn about local politics, citizens have been more apt to apply their national partisanship to local issues. The AP reported that the research found that for the first time in a century in 2016, no state elected a senator from a different party than the one that won its presidential vote. “The voting behavior was more polarized, less likely to include split-ticket voting, if a newspaper had died in the community,” said communications professor Johanna Dunaway of Texas A&M. The local campaigns are just warming up for the April 2 election. Covering them in a suburban area as large as Chicago’s is no easy task. But we’re committed to doing so to the best of our ability. We owe it to you. As citizens, do your part. Get out to the forums to listen to the candidates. Study the issues, not just in the Daily Herald, but wherever you can find the information. We all owe it to the community.)

They stress that WHILE MY PEERS WERE DYING IN VIETNAM, a) I bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971; b) I bought a new town home in 1972; and c) I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970 and then took graduate business courses. Since 1966, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because I avoided the draft, I have had TREMENDOUS UNFAIR ADVANTAGES.)
