They focus on a) stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) stopping everyone from reading those emails. Should I have an attorney send them cease and desist letters? Should I get court orders against them? It would be interesting to see them argue in court that I am a “public figure.”)

— Suburban voters see more options in local elections this year – Jake Griffin
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190309/suburban-voters-see-more-options-in-local-elections-this-year
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For the first time in a decade, more local races will be contested this year than in the previous municipal election. In some cases, there are more contested races this year than in 2015 as well. On average, nearly 37 percent of the suburban races will be contested in those counties this election, according to a Daily Herald analysis of election data. “There’s a lot more activism and a lot more youthful activism,” said David Orr, the former Cook County clerk who retired last year. “Part of it is that people just want to get out there and make a difference. There’s also (President Donald) Trump motivating some, but not in a favorable way.” In suburban Cook County, voters will have a choice in 35.9 percent of the races this year, up from 30 percent in 2017. In DuPage County, voters have options in 37 percent of the races, versus the 31.1 percent of contested races in 2017.)

DUPAGE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY
— County Moves to Close Alleged Adult Business in Wheaton
https://www.dupageco.org/States_Attorney/States_Attorney_News/2019/60188/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin announced today that DuPage County has filed a lawsuit against Hot Shots Photography Studio, located at 0N758 Gary Avenue, Wheaton, alleging that the business has been operating as an adult business and not as a photography studio as advertised. This morning, the State’s Attorney’s Office filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief and zoning violations against Hot Shots, alleging violations of the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance and state statutes regarding the location of adult entertainment facilities and adult business uses. The lawsuit alleges that Hot Shots advertised on adult websites commonly used to advertise adult escort services by placing personal ads that included a telephone number to call for escort services. The suit alleges that respondents to the ad would be screened by an employee of Hot Shots and then directed to the Gary Avenue location. The lawsuit further alleges that once a respondent entered Hot Shots they were charged $100 as a cover fee and then directed to a room where the respondent would be met by an employee of Hot Shots who would discuss services and payment, with payment “ranging from $500 to $1,500.” The suit further alleges that after receiving payment, employees of Hot Shots would then engage in sexual activity with the respondent. In November, 2018, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office began an undercover investigation into potential illegal activity and/or prostitution occurring at Hot Shots. The alleged findings of the investigation, according to the suit, “cause Hot Shots to be defined as an adult business use as defined in the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance, and thus constitutes a basis by which that use violates the ordinance.” Additionally, the suit alleges that “the business operations of Hot Shots are such that a significant or substantial portion of such operations involve an activity distinguished or characterized by its emphasis on matters depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities.”)

https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-threaten-juan-williams-hosts-fight-criticize-trump-michael-cohen-1347977
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fox News discussion of Michael Cohen’s testimony devolved into host Greg Gutfeld threatening to throw co-host Juan Williams off the set for criticizing the GOP’s poor defense of the president. The Five co-host Williams is frequently the lone dissenting voice against the show’s pro-President Donald Trump panels. Wednesday’s show became particularly tense after a red-faced Gutfeld demanded that Williams stop speaking negatively about the president and House Republicans or “I’m going to throw you off the set.” The breakdown occurred after Williams accused Gutfeld and co-host Jesse Watters of being “deep in the bunker,” which Gutfeld took as an Adolf Hitler reference.)

MARKET WATCH
— Improved Social Security COLA would help seniors stay ahead of inflation A more generous policy would keep more older Americans out of poverty – MAX RICHTMAN
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/improved-social-security-cola-would-help-seniors-stay-ahead-of-inflation-2019-02-28
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Retirees across America consistently tell us that their annual COLAs simply are not adequate. And they have a reason to be concerned. Though the 2019 COLA is a decent 2.8%, these adjustments historically have not kept pace with seniors’ rising expenses. In fact, for three of the past 10 years there were no cost-of-living increases — zero. In 2017, the COLA was a scant 0.3% — or a meager $4 a month for the average beneficiary. Simply put, retirees need a COLA that accurately reflects the effects of inflation on their cost of living. The current index, the CPI-W, is pegged to urban wage earners’ living expenses, and tends to underestimate what seniors spend on big ticket items like housing and medical care. By the same token, retirees purchase less gasoline than working-age Americans, even though the cost of gas figures prominently into the current inflation index. As the Center for Retirement Security explains, “In 2016, retirees received no COLA specifically because the cost of oil plummeted. The low cost of gasoline offset [actual inflation] in other areas.” Fortunately, a better formula exists. It’s called the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly — or CPI-E — based on a ‘basket’ of goods and services that reflects older Americans’ spending patterns. The CPI-E just got a big boost from Congressman John Larson (D-Conn.), who included it in his bill to expand retirement benefits, The Social Security 2100 Act. “Seniors have been seeing rises in food…housing, and medical costs, without always receiving adequate increases in the COLA. We must do better and work toward a comprehensive solution,” Congressman Larson said.)

UHCL SIGNAL
— Labor laws fall short for college students – Shelby Schillings
https://uhclthesignal.com/wordpress/2019/02/25/labor-laws-fall-short-for-college-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College students are overworked at part-time jobs. When asked about work complaints, students who were interviewed for this article mentioned their employers didn’t offer breaks, regularly shortened break time, disregarded previous schedule agreements and required them to work shifts less than 12 hours apart. How does this impact a student’s academic success and what can be done to help the current state of labor laws? These conditions may seem unfair or even illegal; however, these issues are completely acceptable under Texas law as Texas does not require that employers offer breaks, strictly stick to agreed work schedules or give workers fair time between shifts. To be clear, the law does require that employees be paid for short breaks throughout the day if the employer chooses to allow them, it does not require them to provide those breaks.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Trump Administration Again Bashes Salary Council’s Federal-Private Sector Pay Gap Calculation – Erich Wagner (DIERSEN: Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being grossly overpaid by the federal government. In my defense, 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.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— If you ran for an office, would the Daily Herald endorse you? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: From what I see, if I ran for an office, the Daily Herald would not endorse me for the following reasons: I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 21 years, childless, pet-less, American-nameplate car owner, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. The Daily herald would stress that I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, or American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member. The Daily Herald would stress that ICRC almost censured me in 2006 for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and that I lost 69 to 13 when I ran for MTRCC Treasurer in 2004. The Daily Herald would stress a) that GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job; b) that IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job; and c) that the Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Daily Herald would stress a) 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 a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) 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; and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. The Daily Herald would stress that religious, conservative, and Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have virtually never come to my defense. The Daily Herald would stress that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. The Daily Herald would stress the very few times that my rude, condescending, bombastic, nasty, vicious, and threatening critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have succeeded in getting me to raise my voice. The Daily Herald would stress the lawsuits that I have filed. The Daily Herald would hint/imply/argue/shout that because of the aforesaid, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all.)
