— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Pot pushers use medial pot to push recreational pot at
Pitchfork Music Fest
https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/festivals/ct-ent-pitchfork-music-fest-2019-best-and-worst-day-2-20190720-wdkzqowmdvdrzhooaq7eufqjba-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Despite the upcoming Illinois marijuana legalization Jan. 1, 2020 it’s business
as usual at the Modern Cannabis booth. MOCA, a marijuana dispensary, has been a
staple of Pitchfork for at least two years, the dispensary itself open since 2016.
A MOCA representative told the Tribune that right now, the booth serves to
educate festival attendees on “a safe alternative, safe medicine” and on how an
individual might get a cannabis card (you need to be an Illinois resident, for
one thing).)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What encourages you to run for office? For me, it is a
lack of candidates who have promised to and/or have demonstrated a) that they
can/will defend/advance the Republican Party platform and the Illinois
Republican Party platform, especially their traditional family, right to life,
immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity planks (no
race of gender based preference giving) planks and that they can/will oppose
the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ
activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, diminishment of First and Second
Amendment rights, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political
affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and
retaliation.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats shout at citizens of foreign countries, and at
everyone else, that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members,
haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten
rid of once and for all. Democrats count on immigrants to help them get rid of
Republicans once and for all.

— 50th high school reunion spurs memories of the ‘in’ crowd – Ken Potts
(DIERSEN: Crete-Monee High School Class of 1966 held its outstanding 50th
reunion in 2016 at the Lincolnshire Country Club in Crete. Of the 200
graduates, 100 responded to the event questionnaire, 67 attended one or more of
three weekend events, and 31 spouses/guests attended one or more of the events.
Sadly, more than 48 of the 200 have passed away. I was one of the few who had
attended all three of the previous reunions – the 25th in Beecher, the 20th in
Matteson, and the 10th in Homewood. One of my classmates, Dennis Peters from
Morris, ran for state representative in 1998.)

MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
— Can Facebook predict your future health? Researchers found 21 conditions
were predictable from the social media network alone. – Najja Parker
http://www.startribune.com/can-facebook-predict-your-future-health/512600962/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For
instance, those who used “drink” and “bottle” had an increased risk of alcohol
abuse. And terms expressing hostility, such as expletives, were more predictive
of drug abuse and psychoses. “This work is early, but our hope is that the
insights gleaned from these posts could be used to better inform patients and
providers about their health,” lead author Raina Merchant said. “As social
media posts are often about someone’s lifestyle choices and experiences or how
they’re feeling, this information could provide additional information about
disease management and exacerbation.”)

— Ten Ways Your Summer Internship Or Temp Job Enhances Your Career Even If You
Don’t Get Hired Full-Time – Caroline Ceniza-Levine (DIERSEN: Were you an
intern? GAO audits IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was
31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and
subordinated did not want me to transfer, but failing that, they wanted me to
transfer as a GS-4 Step 1 (currently $33,591/year) intern, that is, to suffer a
$60,001/year (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars. They painted what GAO Analysts
do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I
had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized,
denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9
years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently
$82,579-$93,592/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar
to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first
attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I
had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from
DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal
seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)
