— Beck’s decision to abolish merit promotions could shortchange blacks and
Hispanics, aldermen warn Aldermen Chris Taliaferro and Ariel Reboyras say it
makes no sense to abolish a tool used to diversify the Chicago Police
Department’s supervisory ranks. – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: The federal
government uses the subjectivity in its promotion systems to promote its
employees who are Democrat, and especially those who are minority, female,
and/or younger. Passing the CPA examination used to be required to get promoted
at IRS and GAO, but that requirement was dumped because too few minorities and
women took/passed the examination.) https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2019/12/11/21011299/chicago-police-charlie-beck-merit-promotions-aldermen (FROM THE ARTICLE: But
Taliaferro contended the department needs to find some middle ground to elevate

test-takers. “You’ll see a class of 100 officers [and] without merit

, you’re gonna see probably 80 to 90 of those being white. … You

Lightfoot agrees with Taliaferro about the need to find an on-the-job

University of California is being sued for requiring incoming students to take
the SAT and ACT. The lawsuit claims that the tests have a well-known
“discriminatory effect” and “exacerbate the inequities” for
underrepresented students. The lawsuit says the University of California (UC)
is legally obligated to provide equal access to all students. The SAT and ACT,
the lawsuit says, “reflect demographic and socioeconomic characteristics
like family income, parental education and race” instead of measuring
“academic ability or mastery of curriculum.” The College Board, the
organization behind the SAT, released a 2019 assessment of the SAT/PSAT in
California that found 45% of white students scored 1,200 or above, while 12% of
Latinx students and 9% of Black students got the same score. Parental education
levels were also directly related to student scores — only 21% of test-takers
whose parents did not receive a high school diploma met SAT benchmarks while
77% of those whose parents have graduate degrees met benchmarks.)

laws have an impact, one way or another, on a person’s job or his pocketbook.
The new laws in Illinois, expanding legal gambling and the legal use of
marijuana, will do the same. But they also will threaten our health and
physical well-being. The new laws have been touted as answers to our state’s
fiscal crisis, creating many jobs, but at what cost? History has shown that the
proliferation of gambling and marijuana can have a deleterious effect on one’s
health. Both are addictive in nature. Most forms of gambling are stacked
against the participant; the odds are bad. Legalized gambling generally is a
waste of time and money. Marijuana alters a person’s mood and introduces
harmful substances into the lungs and body that can lead to dependency and the
use of more powerful drugs. These two laws will do nothing to uplift society.
They will be of harm to future generations.)

NEWS CHANNEL 20
— Charges you could face for smoking cannabis around kids – Nikki McGee https://newschannel20.com/news/local/charges-you-could-face-for-smoking-cannabis-around-kids (FROM THE ARTICLE: With
the legalization of marijuana, law enforcement is warning parents to stay on
the side of caution when using it at home. As marijuana’s legalization rolls
out, the law is defining where it can and cannot be used. While you can smoke
and pose it behind closed doors, rules change if you have children in the
house. “You cannot knowingly use in close proximity [around] anyone under
21 years of age,” Illinois “Weed Lawyer” W. Scott Hanken said. Any marijuana
kept in your house must also be in a pre-packaged, childproof container and
kept out of reach. “It’s not a good idea to expose them to a mind-altering
substance and we know there can be secondhand smoke that could be inhaled by
the cannabis,” Sangamon County Sheriff Campbell said. “So it’s vital that
if the parents are going to partake in this, that they don’t expose their
children to it.” Sheriff Campbell said his department already investigates
cases where they are tipped off about a child smelling like cannabis and
sometimes even meth-making chemicals. It’s something they can take action on.
“We would look at the totality of the circumstances and determine whether
or not the parent was endangering the life or safety of a child,” Sheriff
Campbell said. “At that time, we would decide whether or not to either
immediately arrest them or to file charges through the state’s attorney’s
office.” Mandated reporters, like teachers, are required to report
suspected child neglect or endangerment to law enforcement. You also need to be
careful if you watch other children. “If you also happen to have a child
daycare in that residence, obviously you cannot use it or consume it there,” Hankin
said. Any marijuana kept in the house must also be in a prepackaged, childproof
container. In other words, kept out of reach. Although you can smoke on private
property… Legally it can’t be around your child. The sheriff is also
concerned about edibles, which are often packaged as treats like candy or baked
goods. He especially wants parents to keep these items secure, since they might
look tempting to a child.)

Marijuana and its foolish proponents easily convinced Illinois state lawmakers
that legalization would decrease black market trade and ease the burden on our
criminal justice system. IFI warned them that this naive notion was
contradicted by the facts, and we shared ample evidence from states that had
already approved “recreational” marijuana. The evidence is clear: the black
market had been thriving because of legalization. Now we read that the
California cannabis industry is in big trouble and want lawmakers to do
something about it. What’s their problem? The black market is doing 73 percent
of California’s marijuana business – or $8.7 billion. California is
considered to be the largest cannabis market in the world. While 2019 is not
yet over, it’s estimated that their total marijuana sales will top nearly $12
billion. Yes, the black market is thriving on the left coast, growing by leaps
and bounds, and threatening to bury a quasi-legitimate (sic) industry. So much
for the influx of revenue they’re anticipating.)

— The Impact Of Unemployment On Male Well-Being – Adi Gaskell (DIERSEN: I have
been underemployed since 1976 and unemployed since 1997.) https://www.forbes.com/sites/adigaskell/2019/12/06/the-impact-of-unemployment-on-male-wellbeing/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
impact of unemployment on well-being is well documented, although research from
a few years ago suggested that it’s “good work” rather than just work that is
the key to mental well-being. With the traditional gender roles presenting the
role of men as the bread winner for the family, it seems logical that
unemployment would pose a particular burden on men, and that was the subject of
a recent report from the IZA World of Labor. The report reveals that the number
of working-age men outside the labor force is on the rise around the world,
with this corresponding with a rise in stress and other mental health issues,
including depression and anger. Indeed, male unemployment is also linked to a
range of physical health concerns, including suicide and substance abuse that
are raising mortality rates across the United States. The researchers believe
the issues of male unemployment are strongest among low-skilled labor, with
those in work also suffering from declining wages and status. This often
ultimately results in men dropping out of the labor force entirely. Many of the
issues facing unemployed men revolve around a loss of hope, and such issues
were consistent around the world. That many unemployed men resort to opioid
abuse merely exacerbates their slide into poor mental well-being. This is often
accompanied by marriage failure and a decline in civic or religious
participation. One’s social standing was a key factor in this, as the image and
self-esteem of many working class men is wrapped up in their hard work ethic,
so being unemployed carries considerable stigma.)

Microaggressions are bad, but adverse actions are worse. My Democrat GAO

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 a $19,568 (21%)
pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. 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. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and
