DAILY HERALD
— Car fee, tax would wipe out graduated tax plan’s savings for many in Illinois – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: While I own seven vehicles, I drive them very little because I spend 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Only one of the seven is over 25 years old. Six times $50 is $300.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190605/car-fee-tax-would-wipe-out-graduated-tax-plans-savings-for-many-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average Illinois car owner would pay an extra $50 a year to register it and about $95 more annually to gas it up. The motor fuel tax hike would go into effect July 1, but the registration fee increase wouldn’t happen until the first of the year. Money generated by the increases would pay for road construction and other public works projects throughout the state, which Pritzker and other backers say are long overdue and will create jobs. The fees also include a 6% daily and 9% monthly tax on parking in garages and lots, a $1 increase in the per-pack cigarette tax to $2.98 and changes in the tax structure for online purchases.)

— Trump says he “would’ve been honored” to serve in Vietnam War (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have punished me the most since 1966 for my getting four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-honored-serve-vietnam-war-us-military-medical-deferment-bone-spurs-piers-morgan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump’s medical deferment from the draft came up repeatedly during his campaign for the White House in 2015 and 2016, and has resurfaced as a talking point among his Democratic challengers ahead of the coming election in 2020. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg accused President Trump last month of using his “privileged status to fake a disability” to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War. “This is somebody, who I think it is fairly obvious to most of us, took advantage of the fact that he was a child of multimillionaire in order to pretend to be disabled so that somebody could go to war in his place,” Buttigieg said of Mr. Trump. During the presidential campaign in July 2015, the Trump campaign said Mr. Trump had a “medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet.” The statement also said that Mr. Trump entered the military draft lottery and had received number 356 out of 365. “When the draft occurred, they never got near his number, and he was therefore exempt from serving in the military,” the Trump campaign said in a statement at the time. “Although he was not a fan of the Vietnam War, yet another disaster for our country, had his draft number been selected he would have proudly served and he is tremendously grateful to all those who did.” In a C-SPAN interview in October 2017, the late Sen. John McCain took a swipe at Mr. Trump over the deferment, saying it was “wrong” for him to have claimed to have bone spurs to avoid military service.)

— How to Protect Yourself Against Job Discrimination as a Veteran – Tom Spiggle (DIERSEN: The federal government protects its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. The federal government gets rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.) 
https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomspiggle/2019/05/28/how-to-protect-yourself-against-job-discrimination-as-a-veteran/#7880184f5475
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most people are aware that federal law bars discrimination on the job due to gender, race and religion, but they often don’t realize that it also covers current and former members of the military as well. With fewer Americans serving in the military today than in past decades, this kind of discrimination can be subtle, taking the form of assumptions that civilians make about military life and service. That could come from recruiters who ignore relevant job experience — like leading a caravan of military vehicles in the desert when hiring for a job driving a commercial truck. It could come in the form of an innocent-seeming question during a job interview about whether you suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after completing a tour in Afghanistan. Or it could be the more obvious refusal to reinstate you at your old job after regular service with the National Guard. Several federal laws aim to prevent those kinds of situations. Here’s a look at the laws that protect those who come back from their service as they reenter the workforce.)

EUREKA TIMES STANDARD
— On ‘Seeking: digital natives’ – ANGELA COPELAND (DIERSEN: How long have you had your email address? I have had diersen@aol.com for more than 24 years, since January of 1995 when I was 46 years old. How long have you owned a computer system? I have owned a computer system since 1982 when I was 34 years old. While I worked for GAO during the 1990s, before GAO provided its staff with computer systems, I bought several computer systems and used them in my office. I published Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) first website in 2000 and served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001 and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000 and publishing copies of them at www.gopillinois.com since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.)
https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood, they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.)

— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam C. Uzialko
https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment. “Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results, employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized to the needs of your organization.”)
