(FROM THE ARTICLE:  So Vice President Mike Pence has a policy of not dining alone with a woman who is not his wife, and of not attending events that serve alcohol without her. The fact that this policy is kicking up controversy proves the point: Men in power are in an impossible situation. They are supposed to be committed, in word and deed, to promoting women, which involves getting to know those worth promoting. Of course, we might not even be debating this hornet’s nest if current and prior presidents had lived by the same rules.)

TIMES
— Journalism essential in era of PR – David Giuliani  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, journalists and newspapers a) promote the Democrat Party platform, the Libertarian Party platform, and the Green platform and b) help elect Democrat candidates and reelect Democrat candidates.)
http://www.mywebtimes.com/news/local/as-it-is-journalism-essential-in-era-of-pr/article_f27a0bab-2ad8-5cc6-a71f-dd194fb14d73.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The other day, one of my sources suggested I get a job in corporate public relations. That’s where the money is, he told me. While he may be right, he’s overlooking the reason journalists do what they do. Journalists believe in finding truth, or reporting it as close as objectively possible. They also believe in holding government accountable to its citizens, among many other responsibilities. There is a gratification in being able to inform readers of something they didn’t know or news they can use in their everyday lives. Landing a position in corporate or government PR is a lot more lucrative than working at a newspaper or a TV station. It’s been that way for a long time. It’s a good job, and many of those folks are helpful in communicating to news outlets. But PR and marketing positions have drawbacks. One of them in particular is that many PR folks must toe the company line. It’s hard to get to objective truth when there’s a built-in bias. What news outlets can’t do is let government and other institutions become less accountable to the public. The official line can’t become the only line. The news release from a government agency or corporate entity shouldn’t be treated as gospel. Many newspapers are hungry for stories to fill their pages. Enterprising groups, including the conservative Illinois Policy Institute, sense that desperation. A few years ago, the institute formed the neutral-sounding Illinois News Network, which offers stories with a conservative bent to newspapers around the state. The Illinois News Network is nothing to scoff at. Recently, it hired a big player in northern Illinois’ media world as its news director — Dan McCaleb, editorial director of Shaw Media, which runs a bunch of papers in the suburbs. (Full disclosure: I worked for the institute for five months after working for a Shaw Media weekly.) Another conservative group is distributing supposedly local newspapers that favor Gov. Bruce Rauner and other Republicans. Starved Rock Country has its own version, the Illinois Valley Times. I have yet to find one writer in that paper who has burned any shoe leather anywhere near here. Many of its writers hail from the Philippines. Covering La Salle County from across the world is no substitute for reporters on the ground holding the powers that be accountable. I’ll do what I can to avoid ending up as a PR flack for corporate types. The work of a journalist is too essential.)

— Students selecting a college increasingly consider long-term job prospects, debt – Gail MarksJarvis  (DIERSEN: Did you have a job offer when you were about to graduate? Before I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management, I had accepted a job offer from Firestone Stores. Did you have any debt when you graduated?  I did not, and I owned a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. I paid for my college education with the money that earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, IRS hired at the GS-7 level, currently $44,853.  In 1972, IRS promoted me to GS-9, currently $54,864.  In 1973, IRS promoted me to GS-11, currently $66,379.  In 1974, IRS promoted me to GS-12, currently $79,563.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/ct-college-bound-jobs-debt-columnist-marksjarvis-0402-biz-20170331-column.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Only 46 percent of the students who were about to graduate in 2016 with bachelor’s degrees had a job offer, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which does a survey of graduates each year. That’s an improvement over 2009, when only 41 percent had offers as the nation was coming out of the Great Recession, but it’s far below the 80 percent who were graduating with jobs before the recession, said association researcher Kenneth Tsang. In addition, pay levels have been stuck. Although college costs have been rising faster than inflation and the average college student with student loans leaves college with about $30,000 in debt, the survey has found that salaries aren’t budging. In 2016, the median salary for graduates who found jobs was $47,358, essentially flat for the last five years, Tsang said. Pay ranged from $65,000 for math majors to $31,000 for social science majors and $20,000 for those in the performing arts.)

I delivered newspapers and did yard work during the summers of 1962, 1963, and 1964.  I washed dishes during the summer of 1965.  I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966.  I delivered mail during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.)

— Bill O’Reilly Thrives at Fox News, Even as Harassment Settlements Add Up  About $13 million has been paid out over the years to address complaints from women about Mr. O’Reilly’s behavior. He denies the claims have merit. – EMILY STEEL and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT  (DIERSEN: What complaints have been filed against you?  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, no complaints that I discriminated against anyone because of their political affiliation, veteran status, “race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information,” or anything else were ever filed against me.  Nevertheless, the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, and the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 treated me like many such complaints had been filed against me.  They would not have treated me that way if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)

He who pays the piper calls the tunes and I do not want anyone to call my tunes.)
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-01/gop-paid-white-house-s-priebus-almost-500-000-filing-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus received almost $500,000 from the Republican National Committee in 2016 as he led the party to wins at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, according to a financial disclosure form released Friday. Priebus served as chairman of the RNC from 2011 until joining the Trump administration in January. He was paid a base salary of $225,000 in 2016 plus two bonuses totaling $175,000. The party also spent just over $57,000 on rent for a Washington-area home. At the beginning of 2017, the committee paid him an additional $33,000. Appointed by President Donald Trump shortly after the election last year, Priebus has attempted to draw on his long-standing relationships with Republicans in Congress to help shape and shepherd Trump’s agenda. A fixture in Wisconsin politics for most of his adult life, Priebus worked as a litigator at Milwaukee law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, where he became partner in 2006. He went on leave from the firm when he became party chairman and more formally severed ties at the end of 2016, when he received a $450,000 equity buyout. He also was paid a $50,000 bonus by the firm and had $96,408 from his capital account returned to him. Priebus also reported assets totaling at least $350,000 in an American Funds mutual fund and two bank accounts.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/31/us/politics/ivanka-trump-and-jared-kushner-still-benefiting-from-business-empire-filings-show.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, will remain the beneficiaries of a sprawling real estate and investment business still worth as much as $741 million, despite their new government responsibilities, according to ethics filings released by the White House Friday night. Ms. Trump will also maintain a stake in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The hotel, just down the street from the White House, has drawn protests from ethics experts who worry that foreign governments or special interests could stay there in order to curry favor with the administration. It is unclear how Ms. Trump would earn income from that stake. Mr. Kushner’s financial disclosures say that Ms. Trump earned between $1 million and $5 million from January 2016 to March 2017, and puts the value of her stake at between $5 million and $25 million.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-republican-fundraiser-met-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Republican Party holds its annual “Governor’s Dinner” fundraiser Thursday night to pay tribute to Gov. Bruce Rauner, the state GOP’s leader and biggest donor. Tickets for the event at the Hilton Chicago range from $500 per person all the way up to a special $40,000 “gold” sponsorship. Included is a private reception and photo opportunity with dinner following afterward. All of the top Illinois Republican officials are co-chairing the event, along with the GOP members of Illinois’ congressional delegation and the party’s Senate leader, Christine Radogno of Lemont, and House leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs. Since Rauner took over as governor in January 2015, the state Republican Party has raised nearly $30.9 million. Of that amount, 68 percent, or more than $21.1 million, has come directly from Rauner, his wife or his campaign fund. The group Illinois Working Together, a coalition of unions and other organizations opposed to the governor, are planning a “Rauner Do Your Job” demonstration outside the event.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170327/BLOGS02/170329877/despite-poll-no-vote-now-on-legal-pot
(FROM THE ARTCLE: Steans was reacting to a survey by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois that found a stunning two-thirds of voters saying they support the legalization of pot “if taxed and regulated like alcohol.” . . . Support for full legalization was wide across the state and among political subdivisions. While such backing was strongest among Democrats, young people and Chicagoans, the plan gets support from 52 percent of Republicans surveyed, 54 percent of downstaters and 51 percent of those aged 66 and up, the institute said. Just 31 percent of voters overall indicated they oppose or strongly oppose such an action.)

Beeson, who has Type 2 diabetes, said he values his Health Alliance insurance policy, which he obtained through Illinois’ health insurance exchange with federal subsidies to reduce the monthly premium to $116.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-key-to-financial-discipline-it-may-be-as-simple-as-taking-a-class-1490582293
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is well-known that successful investing requires patience and the ability to delay gratification. The question has long been: Can such discipline be taught? A recent study suggests it can. Researchers at Utah State University found that students who completed a basic financial-education course were more willing to wait for a bigger financial payout than those who didn’t. Put another way, those who took the class exhibited lower levels of impulsive behavior. “We see evidence that we can teach people self-control,” says William DeHart, a graduate student at Utah State University and one of the authors of the study, which appeared in PLOS ONE, a scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science, in July 2016.)

Poll sees optimism grow with age – AP  (DIERSEN: What has diminished your optimism?  The mayor of the city that I have lived in since 1978 publicly insults me.  I am no longer the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, or an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest chapter board member.  My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, did not promote me beyond GS-13, 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 an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims. Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

USA TODAY
— Steve Bannon’s rise forces Breitbart News out of the shadows, and the basement – Paul Singer  (DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS has never been in the shadows or in a basement. GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always been in the first floor family room at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton.  GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always officially declared who owns it (me) and who operates it (me).  Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS has had no lavish parties.  Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and its website www.gopillinois.com have no advertising.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/23/bannons-rise-forces-breitbart-news-out-shadows-and-basement-trump/99456912/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bare-knuckled conservative news organization has moved its office out of the house where former chief Steve Bannon lived, has begun to reluctantly disclose its ownership, and, in its quest for official recognition, may even go so far as to publicly declare who runs the place. Breitbart has for the past several years operated, basically, out of Bannon’s house. Bannon was the executive chairman of Breitbart News and the ideological engine behind the site’s bareknuckled anti-immigration, anti-government ideology. He and the site both operated out of a townhouse on Capitol Hill a couple of blocks behind the Supreme Court. It became known as the “Breitbart Embassy,” site of lavish parties upstairs and the typing of a staff of young reporters downstairs, whom Bannon  referred to as “the Valkyries.”)

— Retirement dreams fizzle amid insurance uncertainty – AP  (DIERSEN: Have your retirement dreams fizzled?  According to OPM, “The basic Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) annuity cannot exceed 80 percent of your high-3 average salary, excluding your unused sick leave. Generally, you reach the 80 percent limitation when you have 41 years and 11 months of service, not including accumulated sick leave.”  If my GAO superiors had not succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I would have had 42 years of service in 2010 when I was 62 years old.  In today’s dollars, my CSRS pension would be $98,393/year instead of the $50,856/year that it is now, or $47,537/year (48%) more.)
