WTTW
— Colleges Pushed Anew for Reparations for Slavery, Racism – AP (DIERSEN: Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion are reparations. How much more reparations will the college(s) that you graduated from agree to pay in reparations? I attended UIC 1966-1968 and 1971, NIU 1969-1970, Loyola 1972-1976, DePaul 1976-1980, Roosevelt 1980-1981, and IIT 1992-1997. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997. Will UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, Roosevelt, and IIT apologize for admitting me instead of Blacks?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For Brown University students, the Ivy League college’s next step in its yearslong quest to atone for its legacy of slavery is clear: Pay up. Nearly two decades after the Providence, Rhode Island, institution launched its much-lauded reckoning, undergraduate students this spring voted overwhelmingly for the university to identify the descendants of slaves that worked on campus and begin paying them reparations. At the University of Georgia, community activists want the school to contribute to Athens’ efforts to atone for an urban renewal project that destroyed a Black community in the 1960s to make way for college dorms. And at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., there’s growing dissatisfaction among some slave descendants about the Catholic institution’s pioneering reparations efforts. Nearly a year after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police sparked the latest national reckoning on racism, student and community activists from New England to the Deep South are demanding institutions take more ambitious steps to atone for past sins — from colonial-era slavery to more recent campus expansion projects that have pushed out entire communities of color.)

— The souls of white folk White Americans are realizing that they belong to a race too. (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, if you are White, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs get rid of you if you fail/refuse to demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. They especially want everyone to demonize, denigrate, and condemn Whites who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about a) Whites who promote hatred against Whites to curry favor with White-haters, b) men who promote hatred against men to curry favor with men-haters, c) older people who promote hatred against older people curry favor with those who hate older people, d) heterosexuals who promote hatred against heterosexuals to curry favor with those who hate heterosexuals, e) RINOs who promote hatred against Republicans to curry favor with Republican-haters, f) etc.)

SAND POINT READER
— Two Fourths equal a whole lot of trouble. As the city lays the debate to rest, how exactly did the 2021 Fourth of July parade become a hearsay showdown? – Zach Hagadone
https://sandpointreader.com/two-fourths-equal-a-whole-lot-of-trouble/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Perhaps it’s fitting that a holiday commemorating the commencement of a world-historical conflict should generate controversy. So it has been with Sandpoint’s traditional Fourth of July celebration — canceled by its longtime sponsors, the Lions Club, in 2020 in an abundance of caution over COVID-19 exposure and picked up by an independent group, Sandpoint Independence Day. The nonprofit SID organization, helmed by local conservative activists Steve Wasylko and Ron Korn, purported to “save” Independence Day in 2020, making claims that the Lions Club — which had put on the parade and fireworks show for nearly 70 years — had “pass[ed] the baton.” In that spirit, SID again applied for a permit to put on the parade in 2021, which the city denied. SID organizers then appealed the denial, arguing their case before City Council at its May 5 regular meeting. “They [the Lions] wanted to give this up,” Wasylko told the council, with Korn adding: “We were told by Janice [Rader, current vice president] that the Lions Club was no longer interested in hosting the event.”)

I should write a book about those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that my parents were filthy rich when my brother and I were young. Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He fought brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 years old and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. If my parents were filthy rich, why did I do yard work and deliver newspapers 1962-1964; wash dishes 1964-1966; clean golf shoes, chip slag, and pump gasoline in 1966; deliver mail 1966-1969; work on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sell tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; and pump gasoline 1971-1972?)

https://www.mcdonoughvoice.com/story/opinion/columns/2021/05/06/seniors-group-grades-illinois-reps-congress/4971114001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eleven of Illinois’ House Representatives in Washington scored 100% in the Alliance for Retired Americans’ analysis of Congress’ 2020 voting record, released last week. Two of the 18 in the state’s delegation received scores below 20: John Shimkus (R- Collinsville), was given a 13, and Darin LaHood (R-Peoria) got an 11. The “grades” were determined on how the Representatives voted on 10 key votes, as set by the ARA, during the second session of the 116th Congress, January-December 2020. Besides LaHood, two other downstate Representatives – Cheri Bustos (D-Moline) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) – deserve reporting. Bustos received a 100; Kinzinger was given a 33. (On the Senate side, Illinois Democratic Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin both were scored at 100. It’s noteworthy that last year’s GOP-majority Senate took no action except for four referrals to committees on all this legislation.)

Though Tracy is satisfied with the work McConchie is doing, he isn’t commenting on the race. The Illinois GOP doesn’t get involved in primary elections. – SHIA KAPOS (DIERSEN: Candidates on March 15, 2022 Republican primary ballots in Illinois like me should expect that hate-filled Trump-hating Kinzinger-supporters will do everything that they can to defeat candidates like me who do not share their hatred of Trump.)

FEDERAL NEWS NETWORK
— Making the federal hiring process more equitable – Joe Paiva and Allie Wehling (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

FED WEEK
— What it Takes to Be an Average Retiree (DIERSEN: my Civil Service Retirement System pension is tremendously less because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer ” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Previously, they had given 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 $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
https://www.fedweek.com/publishers-perspective/what-it-takes-to-be-an-average-retiree/
(FROM THE ARTICLE; The average monthly benefit under CSRS is about $4,000, which comes to $48,000 on an annual basis. The “median” CSRS benefit—the point where half are below and half are above—is about $3,500, $42,000 on an annual basis. The FERS defined benefits are smaller—an average of about $1,600 monthly and a median of about $1,300, for annual figures of $19,200 and $15,600—because that program also includes Social Security as a basic element. The average Social Security benefit is about $1,500 a month, $18,000 annually; the average for federal employees likely is higher because the federal salary average is higher than the overall national average, due mainly to differences in the nature of the work and educational levels.)

AARP
— Older Workers Are Willing and Eager to Learn New Skills Two-thirds of older workers are interested in additional job or skills training. – Rebecca Perron (DIERSEN: I earned my third job-related master’s degree in 1997 when I was 49 years old; a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. In 1989, to get rid of me, my GAO superiors made it clear that they never again assign me to audits of IRS. In 1990, they assigned me to audits of federal financial institution regulators.)

— After Trump banned for life on Facebook, is today’s social tyranny creating the conditions for one-party rule? – Robert Romano (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who discriminate against Republicans. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton.)
https://dailytorch.com/2021/05/after-trump-banned-for-life-on-facebook-is-todays-social-tyranny-creating-the-conditions-for-one-party-rule/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Narrowly expanding the franchise of protected groups under civil rights law to include political affiliation could help preserve liberty and our civil discourse. Interactive computer services could be defined as public accommodations so that social media services cannot be denied on the basis of partisan differences. Institutions like banking could also be prevented from engaging in political de-platforming. Common sense exceptions could be added, for example excluding employment hiring for exclusive organizations like political parties and organizations. One thing is certain. If Congress does not begin treating the political system on the internet and elsewhere as a civil right the civil society depends on, then we will soon have a tyrannical one-party system. You’ve been warned.)

The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and then part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969.)

NPR
— The Racist Architecture Of Homeownership: How Housing Segregation Has Persisted – AILSA CHANG, JONAKI MEHTA, CHRISTOPHER INTAGLIATA (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that those who share my demographics (White, male, non-veteran, old (born in 1948), heterosexual, conservative, Republican, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, Crete resident 1948-1972, my ancestors have been in America since 1844) are racists. University Park has always been integrated. In 1972, when I was 24 years old, I bought a new town home in University Park. What do my critics/opponents have to say about that? In Chicagoland, federal agencies employ far more minorities than other employers. I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. I worked for IRS in its downtown Chicago offices in 1971 and 1973-1980, its Harvey office 1972-1973, and its 63rd and Halsted and Joliet offices 1973-1974. I worked for GAO in its downtown Chicago offices 1980-1997. Many, if not most, and at times, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were minorities. What do my critics/opponents have to say about that? I should write a book about my many critics/opponents who have done everything that they can to stay away from minorities. They never would have bought real estate in University Park and they never would have worked for the federal government.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Campaign stunt, ads bring California recall into new phase. California’s recall election now features “the beast” and a “compassionate disruptor.” That’s how John Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, Republicans running for California governor, pitched themselves to voters Tuesday in new campaign ads. – AP
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/5/4/22419997/campaign-stunt-ads-bring-california-recall-into-new-phase
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Cox, a 65-year-old businessman who lost in a landslide to Newsom in 2018, released a video calling himself “the beast” to the photogenic Newsom’s “beauty.” He also resorted to name-calling reminiscent of former President Donald Trump, repeatedly labeling Newsom a “pretty boy” who lacks governing chops. Launching a bus tour in Sacramento with a live Kodiak bear named Tag ambling behind him in the hot sun, Cox promised to bring “beastly” changes to state government. He spent $5 million to begin airing a 30-second version on television statewide, his campaign said, a major amount this early in the campaign and indicative of the need to raise his profile in a crowded field. The stunt was aimed at drawing eyes to his campaign, but he promised to discuss “serious issues” — like bringing down the cost of housing, boosting the state’s water resources and preventing special interests from influencing government. “You have to get this message out and that’s what we’re going to do here,” he said.)
— Lightfoot sets goal to ‘fully open’ Chicago by July 4. The Chicago Auto Show already is set to open July 15. But getting “fully open” by July 4 also could mean the return of Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago and the Air & Water Show, the city’s most popular and iconic summer events. – Fran Spielman

— Void FOID? State’s top court asked to decide if it’s time to shoot down Firearm Owner Identification cards. The Illinois attorney general’s appeal of a downstate judge’s ruling sets up a battle over whether the state can require residents to hold an ID card in order to own a firearm. First enacted in 1968, the state’s Firearm Owner Identification Act does just that. But a southern Illinois judge said that makes residents’ Second Amendment rights a “façade.” – Andrew Sullender

DAILY HERALD
— Milton Township moving to form voter-approved mental health board
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20210502/milton-township-moving-to-form-voter-approved-mental-health-board
(FROM THE ARTICLE: John Monino — Milton’s first new township supervisor in 20 years — will appoint the seven members to the mental health board. Monino will be sworn in on May 14. Under state law, the township has 60 days from his swearing-in to seat the 708 board. Monino said he hopes to make the first mental health board appointments at a township trustee meeting in June. The panel could include doctors, parents, and representatives of schools or social service agencies. “We will do everything in the township to support and grow that and outreach,” Monino said. Township trustees also will get the final say on the amount residents would pay in additional taxes each year. But the request that was approved by voters caps the tax levy for the mental health board at 0.15% of the assessed value of taxable property. When asked about the tax increase, Monino said the levy is “not going to be touching at that top end” of the cap. He’s hoping to have the levy adopted in October or early November. “We’re going to be researching and looking at all aspects so everybody is comfortable,” Monino said.)

I had worked for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I filed many tax liens and tax levies.  I had worked as an IRS Special Procedures Staff Advisor during my last 3 1/2 years with IRS. Special Procedures Staff Advisors confer with IRS Attorneys, Revenue Officers, Revenue Agents and Special Agents as well as taxpayers and their representatives to resolve complex tax issues and determine a course of action designed to protect the Government’s interests and expedite payment of taxes due. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS. In 1986, the GAO manager who had hired me finally succeeded in getting me assigned to audits of IRS and promoting me to GS-13. But my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing him to retire in 1987, and starting in 1989, they succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of GAO career. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

— The U.S. Postal Service desperately needs a few good men and women. Maybe you? The post office’s ongoing delivery problems could open a window of opportunity for people now that it’s looking to hire. Here’s what you need to know. – Mary Mitchell (DIERSEN: The Post Office hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2021/4/30/22412910/postal-service-mail-jobs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The United States Postal Service says it’s one of the “leading employers of minorities and women. Minorities comprise 39% and women 40% of the workforce, 21% of employees are African-American; 8% are Hispanic; 8% are Asian-American/Pacific Islander, and 0.67% are American Indian or Alaska Native.” . . . So here is where the community could make a difference — if you’ve got the right stuff. The Postal Service is hiring. “This is an opportunity for those who want to work for the post office because they are hiring up to 500 city letter carriers, and these are jobs that can change lives,” Julion says. The union representative tells potential employees these jobs could help them become homeowners and be able to afford that new automobile. “These are good union jobs,” he says. Prospective mail carriers will have to pass drug tests and background checks and have a clean driving record for at least two years. “The post office has been posting jobs like mad,” Julion says. “With people retiring, there is going to be a constant flow of jobs.”)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Kinzinger: The tyranny of the reasonable – David Hale
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/05/the_tyranny_of_the_reasonable.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The tyranny of the reasonable is: if you’re not “reasonable,” you don’t get a voice, and you don’t count. This is perfectly expressed in the 16th District Republican congressman, Adam Kinzinger. The dashing young Kinzinger with steely eyes and square jaw and canned, even, toned verbal delivery comes across as erudite, serious, and reasonable — a political figure who just “wants what’s best for everybody.” But nothing is farther from the truth. His cooperation with the left has for the past decade chipped away at American freedom through his decisions on Capitol Hill and eroded our liberties a bite at a time. Kinzinger cooperates and coordinates with members of the Democrat Party who have a deep allegiance to extremist ideas of open borders, redistribution of labor and wealth in the form of money from American’s paychecks, division through racial unrest and strife, and transgender tyranny in our schools and even in school bathrooms. Despite this extensive cooperation with the party of “Marx in America,” he is considered a reasonable, thoughtful political figure. So much easier to gulp down lies when told to us through a smile with even, serious tones. People like Kinzinger delivering their message do not seem like radicals or extremists. They seem reasonable. Kinzinger has learned this tactic and executed this persona with perfection, yet his allegiances are anything but reasonable. His allegiances are radical and extreme and part of what is transforming America into a debt-laden, morally bankrupt, tyrannical dictatorship that is closing the noose of tyranny around our freedoms and liberties. People who consider themselves reasonable consider Kinzinger the same, yet they don’t look deeper than Kinzinger’s surface persona. Beneath this reasonable persona is a man who has created and led our nation into a worse condition than it has ever been — deeper in debt, morally bankrupt, crime-ridden, with joblessness, rioting, racial division, and a whole host of social and economic problems.)
