CBS2
— DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Launches Internal Probe After Staff Are Seen Dining Inside Restaurant, Against Governor’s Orders – Charlie De Mar
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/10/27/dupage-county-sheriffs-indoor-dining-investigation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CBS 2 started asking questions, and it sparked an internal investigation within the DuPage County Sheriff’s Department. CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has obtained the photos that have the department asking its own why they may have been eating inside a local restaurant – despite Gov. JB Pritzker’s orders not to. Photos taken in front of the Verdict Restaurant in Wheaton were sent to CBS 2 this week. They show a DuPage County Sheriff’s squad car, along with the department’s community service volunteer, parked in front of the restaurant. “We are right across from the courthouse, so the 99 percent of the people that are telling us to stay open work for the county,” said Verdict Restaurant owner Anna Sarantopoulos. Sarantopoulous chose to keep serving inside despite the governor’s order to stop, and she acknowledges the DuPage County Sheriff’s personnel sat inside this week. The department is only about a mile from the restaurant. “I can’t babysit a law enforcement officer. Do you know what I mean?” Sarantopoulos said. “They came in to support the Verdict. You know what I mean? I’m not the one to say, ‘Oh I can serve everybody else in the community but I can’t serve you.’ That’s not my place.” Late Monday, Sarantopoulous received a non-compliance notice from the DuPage County Health Department. She was threatened with a misdemeanor if the struggling restaurant continues to serve inside. “Our question is why us and not all the other the surrounding restaurants in the area?” Sarantopoulos said. “We’re trying to keep our staff. We’re trying to keep all our employees. We’re trying to pay the rent.” The DuPage County Sheriff’s Department said after we asked about the photos, an internal investigation started. “They have a boss. They have their own bosses. If the bosses wanted to tell them, ‘Do not go into any of the local restaurants,’ then they should have,” Sarantopoulos said. “Their boss should have reiterated and said, ‘Hey guys, be careful where you go eat.’ But not me. Not my place.” The DuPage County Health Department said they have contacted 13 restaurants in the area for indoor dining complaints.)

NPR ILLINOIS
— Official On Why He Resigned From Federal Salary Council (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government demanded “political loyalty.” They got rid of their employees who were not Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. The planks in the Democrat Party platform that they demanded the most loyalty to were the ones that called for the federal government to give preference to its employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)
https://www.nprillinois.org/post/official-why-he-resigned-federal-salary-council#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal government here in Washington and around the country is run by civil servants – people who provide consistency, deep expertise, even as administrations change. The idea is that politicians and their political appointees may come and go, but thousands of lawyers and scientists and other specialists – they stay put. Well, a new executive order issued by President Trump puts tens of thousands of those jobs at risk, prompting our next guest to resign in protest, writing that Trump’s order is, quote, “nothing more than a smokescreen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the president or, failing that, to enable their removal with little, if any, due process,” end quote. Those are the words of Ron Sanders. He resigned yesterday as chair of the Federal Salary Council, and he joins us now.)

https://www.lifezette.com/2020/10/abc-pulls-in-ringers-for-joe-biden-at-town-hall/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To try at being non-partisan I also feel like Joe Biden’s optimism if he is elected is just as likely not credible in the difference he can make. In other words — for the foreseeable future we seem to be almost for sure living in a continued COVID world for some period between months and years. And just when I thought things were bleak enough, I read the World Health Organization’s assessment back in May of 2020 to which I cannot find a change of opinion published anywhere: “This virus may never go away!”)

— ‘The tyranny of merit’ is tearing America apart – Stan Grant (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was able to do the following a) only because my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were not poor and b) only because me, my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females: 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. In my defense, I was the first of my ancestors to earn a college degree notwithstanding the fact a) that neither of my outstanding parents attended college, b) that my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that after fighting type 1 diabetes from age 14, he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, and d) that my mother never attended high school.)
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-18/us-tyranny-of-merit/12774726
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Regardless of who wins the US election, one thing is certain: it will be a victory for the meritocracy. The meritocracy are the elite, the richest, most privileged of Americans who have a stranglehold on power and wealth. Like the aristocracy of old they are distant from the rest of the population, often looking down on them, mocking them or exploiting them. Like the aristocrats they party together, live alongside each other in the same wealthy suburbs and attend the same weddings, even if they supposedly represent different sides of politics. Remember, Bill and Hillary Clinton were guests at the wedding of Donald and Melania Trump. The meritocracy has rigged the game to suit themselves, getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. Their children dominate entry to the best universities, a pathway to the richest careers ensuring this new royalty shores up its status for another generation. So entrenched and immovable is this elite that the Brookings Institution showed that, on current trends, “it would take six generations for family economic advantage to disappear”.)

— What the Coronavirus Means for the Future of Financial Planning It’s time to rethink what our financial goals can and should look like. – Christine Benz
https://www.morningstar.com/features/what-covid-means-for-the-future-of-financial-planning
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How Can You Accommodate Low Yields in a Financial Plan? Finally, retirees of all ages—early or otherwise—have a huge challenge today in the form of very low bond yields, the result of Federal Reserve activity designed to ignite an economy that would otherwise be struggling even more amid the pandemic-related slowdown. . .Moreover, the fact that safe securities yield so little today has contributed to the ascent of higher-risk assets, especially stocks. But even as retirees have gained on one side of the ledger as yields have declined, they’ve lost on the other. Not only do low yields reduce how much retirees can wring from their safe investments, but yields are also predictive of what bonds are apt to return over the next decade. The Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index currently has an SEC yield of about 1.3%, suggesting that investors will barely break even assuming even modest levels of inflation.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Who are these ‘millionaires and billionaires’? – Jim Dey (DIERSEN: According to this, “1 out of every 18 households” is a millionaire household. What percent of the households in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, and in your county are millionaire households?)
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/jim-dey-who-are-these-millionaires-and-billionaires/article_442f6047-e5dd-5134-b96d-003e30435570.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Forbes magazine reports that its annual review of the super-wealthy in the United States revealed Illinois has just 18 billionaires out of a population of 12.5 million. Rapp was struck by two things — the small number of billionaires and the frequency of their last names. Of the 18, six are Pritzkers. “I thought that was kind of funny,” Rapp said. The statistic stands as stark testimony to the wisdom of making a good choice when picking one’s parents. The Pritzker family is the 15th wealthiest family in the world, with a combined $33.5 billion net worth. Celebrity Net Worth reports that “A.N. Pritzker was the son of Ukrainian immigrants” who invested “in real estate and companies in trouble while he worked for his dad’s law firm.” Thus began a family financial dynasty that is tied to the Hyatt Hotel chain. Past holdings include “the Superior Bank of Chicago (which collapsed in 2001), Braniff airlines, McCall’s magazine, the Trans Union credit bureau, and Royal Caribbean cruise line.” Brilliant estate planning has protected the family wealth, allowing major fortunes to be handed out to successive generations of Pritzkers. Forbes magazine reported in 2019 that of the 18 Illinois billionaires, Thomas Pritzker ranks No. 3 ($4.1 billion net worth), the governor is at No. 4 ($3.2 billion), Jean Pritzker is at No. 5 ($3.1 billion net worth), Penny Pritzker, No. 6 (2.6 billion net worth), Nicholas Pritzker, No. 7 ($2 billion) and Jennifer Pritzker, No. 8 ($1.9 billion). . .But it’s a different story when it comes to millionaires, meaning people with a net worth of at least $1 million, not necessarily an annual income of at least $1 million. Crain’s Chicago Business reported in 2016 that “the number of millionaire households in Illinois reached 280,265, up 5.2 percent from 2014.” In 2016, Crains reported, that number represented “1 out of every 18 households” — 5.5 percent. Pritzker’s proposed progressive income tax, however, is about income, not net worth.)

If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat IRS superiors would have promoted me beyond GS-12, they would not have disallowed my education deductions in 1978, they would not have gotten rid of my mentor in 1975, and they would not have disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.

TOWNHALL
— Big Tech Censorship is Finally Now Coming After the Rest of Us Conservatives – Rachel Alexander (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents side with Big Tech.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2020/10/12/big-tech-censorship-is-finally-now-coming-after-the-rest-of-us-conservatives-n2577864
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many of us thought “that could never happen to me” when rowdy right-wingers like Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes were banned from social media. We are careful and polite about what we post. Surely Big Tech sees how reasonable we are and would never come after us too. Not so anymore. Big Tech is now starting to label regular conservative viewpoints as false and using that as justification to censor and even permanently ban us. They are threatening to ban conservatives for posting things that left-leaning fact checkers say have a very remote possibility of not being true. . .Do you see where this is leading? If you say “capitalism leads to prosperity,” that could be “fact-checked” as false because you can always point to poor people. If you say “Christianity saves lives” that could be “fact-checked” as false because some Christians were martyred for their faith. . .Rep. Jim Jordan and other congressional conservatives issued a report this month on Big Tech censorship, focusing on Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon and Twitter. The report stated, “Big Tech is out to get conservatives. Time and again, Big Tech uses its power to suppress and marginalize conservative voices.” Google was caught blacklisting some of the top conservative media sites in July, noticeably shortly before the election. Notice we’re no longer talking about Infowars and fringe sites. These are the top conservative sites in the country, including Townhall, Breitbart, The Daily Wire and Judicial Watch. . .Jordan and Rep. Matt Gaetz were shadow-banned by Twitter in 2018, but not a single member of the 78-person Progressive Caucus was shadow-banned. RNC chair Ronna McDaniel was shadow-banned, but not the DNC chair. The report lists many incidents of censorship of prominent, regular conservatives, including President Trump. On the other hand, conduct threatening violence on the extreme left is often given a free pass. Tweets by the Ayatollah Khamenei are allowed stating that Iran will reciprocate against the U.S. for the death of Hajj Qasem Soleimani and that Israel will be uprooted and destroyed. . .Many conservatives will still blow this off, saying it’s not censorship because private companies are involved, and we just need to come up with our own competing alternatives. This may be true, but it’s not solving the problem. No platforms fair to conservatives have come anywhere near the competitiveness of the top Big Tech companies. Parler, which President Trump recommended as a social media alternative, has only 2.8 million users. Whereas Facebook has over 2.7 billion users, Instagram has 1 billion and Twitter has 48.35 million. So conservatives are being increasingly shut out of the modern-day version of the public square. . .Something has to change. The left already controls so much of society — education, most of the legal system, traditional media, Hollywood — that the addition of Big Tech will ensure that conservatives never win another election again. It’s just not clear to many of us what is the best way to fight back.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Terry Hunt, 68, of Big Rock, is looking to continue in the position of county auditor, a job he has held since 2012. Looking at the county, Hunt says concerns include the pandemic and its impact, and concerns about taxes. “COVID has been front and center of everything and is on everyone’s list at this point,” Hunt said. “It impacts people’s lives on so many levels from personal health to the ability to buy food and work. It has overshadowed typical things like taxes.” Property taxes are still an issue, Hunt insists, “as everyone is aware of what they owe” as well as their obligation to pay. If re-elected, Hunt said he wants to continue to “increase financial transparency” as well as “audit each operation in an objective and fair way.” “The auditor’s function is that he’s the only elected official authorized to audit each county operation and it’s a responsibility to the people that elected us as opposed to someone that’s appointed,” he said. Hunt also wants to continue to work with the other team members “to balance the budget” and said he will continue to work on ad hoc committees and other tasks “that go beyond the office” and above “the lowest threshold” of just doing the auditor’s job.)

In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

LEXOLOGY
— Navigating Politics in the Workplace During the Election Season
https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=97f3cf73-8b88-4164-bf29-a43deaca47cc
(FROM THE ARTICLE: More often than not, these laws protect workers from adverse actions because of their political activities outside instead of inside the workplace. For example, with limited exceptions, Colorado law prohibits employers from firing someone because of their lawful off-duty activities, including engaging in political speech, and it also prohibits employers from making any rule prohibiting employees from engaging or participating in politics or running for office. New York law protects employees engaging in certain “political activities” outside the workplace during off hours, but it contains an exception where the employee’s activities would create a “material conflict of interest related to the employer’s trade secrets, proprietary information or other proprietary or business interest.” And Connecticut law prohibits employers from taking adverse action against employees who speak about matters of public concern unless that speech substantially interferes with an employee’s job or working relationship with the employer.)

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— Diversity in accounting: An ethical, social and practical imperative – Avani M. Desai
https://www.accountingtoday.com/opinion/diversity-in-accounting-an-ethical-social-and-practical-imperative

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Serving in an attractive profession that offers great earning potential and a reliable array of career choices, accountants are historically sought after particularly during tough economies or similar times of crises. Despite such demand, the numbers within the profession remain unbalanced. Yes, women have come to represent more than 50 percent of accounting graduates over the last 20 years, and over the past 10, the percentages of accounting undergraduates and graduates who are minorities have also increased. In fact, aTrends report shows that 42 percent of accounting graduates are African-American, Hispanic, American Indian, Asian or Pacific Islander, multiethnic, or other. However, total minority hiring in the world of American CPAs has remained inexcusably low, and that must change so as to better serve both the workforce and its customers. The U.S. Census of 2010 predicted that minorities will be the majority by 2042 — that’s about two decades away from now — and communities and clients are shifting in their demographic makeup to reflect that. Moreover, the combined purchasing power of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians was at $4 trillion in 2018 according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth, and demographers predict that the growth of minority populations will contribute between 44-70 percent to the total growth of U.S. purchasing power from 2000 to 2045. Still, this isn’t groundbreaking news, and diversity initiatives have been nudging accounting departments and firms for years to sit up and notice that the United States is more of a melting pot than ever before. But the need for CPA firms to bolster diversity and inclusion — and to provide not just a seat at the table, but also a voice — has never been as critical or urgent as it is today. Because despite America being increasingly diverse, minority workers are still likelier than whites to be unemployed or declined a promotion or senior position. In 2016, Pew Research published that 40 percent of both men and women were more likely to hire men over women; in 2018, almost 90 percent of corporate executives were white and roughly 73 percent were male, and just three Fortune 500 companies in the country were headed by an African-American as CEO. Not much has changed since then, so it seems that while the world around the accounting profession is rapidly changing, the world within it is not.)

EAGLE FORUM
— Party Platforms Matter
https://eagleforum.org/publications/focus/elections-101.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What is happening to our country? American ValuesIf there ever were a time to go into the voting booth with eyes wide open, November 3 of 2020 is that time. The past few months have been an unfolding drama of lawlessness in the streets, anti-American curricula planned for the schools, and overt attacks on foundational beliefs that most Americans hold dear. The upheaval has been swift and destructive, leading many to wonder how anyone either in or seeking an elected leadership position would not speak out forcefully against the carnage. Some Democrat leaders of the affected cities have either actively called on the police to stand down, or they have decided not to publicly condemn the burning, looting, and murdering in their cities. Many Republicans, on the other hand, have called for a return to law and order, expressing concern not only for residents and business owners but also for the first responders who are risking their lives trying to help injured people and protect property. Are these dichotomous responses indicative of the philosophies of these leaders’ political parties, or are they simply personal views that have nothing to do with party affiliation? A comparison of the Republican and Democrat party platforms can provide much-needed information about the worldviews and intentions of current leaders and those who might be elected on November 3. What is a party platform? Political party platforms are official declarations of the principles, policy stances, and action items of the parties. Every four years, political parties gather for their national conventions where they nominate their presidential and vice-presidential candidates. They also write their platforms, the documents that outline where they stand on specific issues and what they intend to do on those issues if their candidates are elected. The differences in 2020 are stark. Republican – Democrat  If one were to judge the 2020 Republican and Democrat platforms simply by tone, even a cursory review of both would yield important insights into each party’s opinions of the country and its issues. The Democrat Party platform outlines what many might consider to be extremist views of this country – that it is irredeemably racist, that people who were instrumental in the founding and early leadership of the country are unworthy of respect or remembrance, and that the government should take over huge areas of its citizens’ lives. Law enforcement must be overhauled, and white supremacy and nationalism are ingrained sins that must be overcome. The Republican Party platform, on the other hand, begins with a dedication page to those who protect the country and its citizens: We dedicate this platform with admiration and gratitude to all who stand strong in the face of danger so that the American people may be protected against it – The men and women of our military, of our law enforcement, and the first responders of every community in our land – And to their families.)

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2020/10/06/bidens-illinois-trumps-staged-return-cannabis-dispensary-lawsuit-490533
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Democrats are licking their chops at a blowout Nov. 3. Some folks even wonder if Joe Biden will break a record in Illinois for votes cast for a president. Maybe. President Donald Trump is expected to make a strong showing downstate. According to the latest FiveThirtyEight data, Biden is up 17 points up in Illinois — 55.6 percent, to Trump’s 38.6 percent. If that holds, it still wouldn’t beat the margin in the 2008 presidential election, when Barack Obama won 61.9 percent of the Illinois vote against John McCain. In 2012, Obama took 57.6 percent of the vote to Mitt Romney’s 40.7. And neither Obama, nor Hillary Clinton, who also counts Illinois as home, could beat the record set by Warren G. Harding in 1920. He captured 67.8 percent of the vote in Illinois. Clinton, btw, won Illinois with 55.2 percent of the vote four years ago. “Biden should triumph here and they’ll probably call the election immediately after polls close in Illinois,” Christopher Mooney, professor of state politics at University of Illinois at Chicago, told Playbook. “That’s under normal circumstances. Given there are more mail-in ballots this year, that may not be the case.” The bigger race to watch, adds Mooney, is the graduated income tax ballot measure. Both sides say their polling shows they have an edge, which suggests it’s going to be close. And that means it may not be decided on election night. Voters in Illinois aren’t used to waiting for results, Mooney said. But given how gummed up Washington is over stimulus aid for states, Illinoisans have plenty at stake.)
